Girl.... you have no idea how wonderful this pattern is. I have a very prominent bone in my nose and every mask had the bridge right on my bone putting so much pressure on it, but this pattern had a high enough nose bridge that it doesn’t hurt at all!!! I am so happy! Thank you so much!! 💗💗💗
Thank you for posting this video. I was really skeptical at first regarding the fog free claim, but this mask really is fog free. I did zigzag stitching above the nose area and treated the stitching just like a casing. Then, I inserted 5 inches of garden wire underneath the stitching. I also made the top seam 3/8 of an inch to allow enough space for zigzag stitching.
Thank you for this lovely little tutorial, I followed it today and made myself a mask using material from an old dress and an elastic headband. It was really easy to do, but yes hand stitching does take HOURS! A nice relaxing thing to do on a rainy day though :)
Thank You so very much for your time and I am so happy that you took the time to make this tutorial and share your pattern. It's getting terrifying here in the USA and our people are so sick we need all the love and support we can get right now. 🤍💟🤍
I like the straps. I work as a cook in a restaurant, were required to wear the mask if we step out in the dining room floor and we're "supposed " to wear them in the kitchen. (Try cooking in a hot kitchen full if commercial ovens,grills and deep fryers in August in Texas and being an asthma sufferer with anxiety problems) anyway I live it because I can pop the mask on and off quickly and when it's not on my face it hangs around my neck so I don't have to keep up with it! I do find that wire etc seems to dog my glasses even more, although I don't know why that should be. Anyway thanks for the tips!
Can't believe this tutorial doesn't have more views! I just made one mask out of pillow cases with this tutorial, it took forever but looks super cute. Will try it out tomorrow and see how it goes c:
Looks good, but I personally make a small almost pocket for the wire on the lining fabric so that I can remove the wire and toss the mask in the wash. Also, for straps you can cut 3-4" of 1cm swimsuit-esque knit fabric and use those as the ear loops like you see for medical masks. I did this as a trial and it's the easiest mask to put on quickly. I will say though that I love your idea of using a wire twice as long as what I have, as I was going by medical mask examples that use a short thing to just hug your nose. That part doesn't fit as snug as the medical ones, but this I'd say could. 😁
Cheers to you for hand sewing that. I am quite capable, but I have gotten quite lazy to do that since I have a machine. You did a FABBY job. Thanks for sharing!!
@@EmmaSandy There's a small handheld sewing machine on Amazon for less than $20 US dollars. I just bought one since I had given my regular sewing machine to my daughter.
T-shirt yarn is a great option if you don’t have or want to use elastic. It’s so much easier to adjust and customize. If you’ve never tried that, I highly recommend it 😊
thank you! I have been making masks here in Wisconsin USA for a few months, and they have been fine, however my boyfriend was told he was going to have to start wearing mask all day long for his job at the dairy. I was concerned about the mask hurting his ears as the ones I have been making loop over the ears. But I love what you have done, and I was able to also incorporate the wire for the nose to keep his glasses from getting foggy. Thank you so very much.
Glad I could help Tarita! I've worn these masks at work for half-day shifts & my ears have been feeling fine. I hope these work well for your boyfriend! Stay safe.
thank you so much for this video and your video on back stitching. omg my stitching was such a mess before! this video is so good! so many mask tutorials expect people to have a sewing machine which most of us don't. i also love how honest you are about how long it will take. keep up the great work! and stay safe out there.
Great video Emma. I’m using T-shirt yarn for straps. Get your family to donate old T-shirts and you can find a tutorial on here. It’s nice and soft with a gentle stretch and you can have balls of all different colours to contrast with your masks.
ilovemypugdog I use it just like she uses the elastic. Just thread it through. You can then leave it for people to adjust for ears or cut enough to tie around head. Does this answer your question? 🦋
Hi Emma, thank you so much for this tutorial. I've managed to make four of these masks so far for Hubby's commute to work. I'd been wondering how to solve the glassing misting up problem, so thank you so much for the nose bridge idea. I used pipe cleaners from my crafts box. I also used pieces cut from a couple of those micro fibre cleaning cloths (I love those, never without them and had a new pack in the kitchen) for the lining fabric. It worked great and Hubby is totally chuffed with his new masks, thanks Emma, I've subbed, hugs x
Hi Rosie, I'm so glad to hear that the masks have been working out so well for your hubby! What a lovely lovely comment to read! Using microfiber for the lining fabric is a wonderful idea. I will try that on my next mask. Excellent to hear a pipe cleaner worked, I hadn't used one myself but I thought it would do the trick 😄 Thanks for subscribing 🤗 & I'm always open to video requests! Stay safe x
Thank you do much for this video. I'm in Melbourne Australia, and we've just gone back into a 6 week lockdown because of a few clusters of cases - hey, it's better to be safe than sorry. Plus, it's cold and flu season here, so this will also help with thay. Anyways, I've decided to make some masks for myself and my family, but had hesitated because we all wear glasses and, well, fog. (I also have a medical condition that causes me to swear a lot on my face, so super fog. That last bit of advice, to add in a microfiber towel piece is perfect. And, it will also help as a bit of a filter. Thanks again! P.S. It's so nice to see someone else handsewing. I feel like we're a dying breed.
I heard about the Melbourne lockdown Seona, wishing you all the best for it. I'm delighted to hear you're a hand sewer too! Hopefully some time can be enjoyed sewing. This week I picked up another glasses fog tip- I accidentally left one side rouched up, and it seemed to let my breath out past my ear. For extra de-fogging measures!
Finally found white 1/4 flat and round elastic string on Amazon. After I made husband and I mask out of a bra in February, ran out quickly in March of bit of elastic I had a for waistband. Cut lengthwise, but very uncomfortable. Had to replace with cut up old t-shirt for string ties. Annoying to slip on and off, but soft. Try Amazon now (end of July 2020.). Choose braided as is soft. Or do the headband with buttons thing. I find headbands hot in summer.
I'm so happy this was useful! I also have a video on sewing the seam. Here's a link below if it could be useful! th-cam.com/video/8jm_6unUtVg/w-d-xo.html
Using the computer screen as a light box to trace out the pattern!!?! Smart! You, my dear, are a very clever girl! You have taught a new to this old dog! ;-P Also, I like the idea of using a cable tie instead of a pipe cleaner. I'm curious to see just how well it works to contour my nose bridge. Thank you for posting this step-by-step instruction video.
This is a great pattern, can't wait to make one. As an alternative to elastic I have used shoelaces and thin cord I already had. Works similar to the elastic but you can adjust the tightness a little better. Thanks for the video
It's all good; all good. What I appreciate the most is that you 'model' the masks for us; to me, that is EVERYTHING. Thank you. Oh, PS. A folded piece of tissue inside the nose part prevents fogging also!
Never mind the pattern. I found the link in a comment below. It would be nice if you would put the link up at the top where everyone can see it. Thank you!!
ZOWIE!!! What an amazing job you did to SIMPLIFY making this mask. I'm a quilter and sewer and would have never guess anyone could hand quilt this so easily. Your details are excellent and your speech is very clear. Excellent job overall! Thanks for sharing your wonderful video and pattern. ☺ PS: I'm a retired college teacher/administrator and later a vice president of training for an international company. Throughout my careers I dreamed of hiring employees with your talents. You will be an excellent win for any company that hires you! Best wishes. ☺☺☺)
Printed it out and accomplished!! Yours is so so easy...best yet. Here in Montana we have a resurge of covid 19. Im wearing my mask around everyone. Stay healthy and stay home!!.. thank you for your lovely tutorial.
Thanks SP! The microfiber definitely makes it more muffled to talk with others, that has been challenging. Especially in loud places or when adding perspex screens in. But it did stop the moist feeling that builds up after about 15 mins of normal breathing. Whatever works for you! Stay safe.
@@EmmaSandy I usually spend one evening cutting them out and then the next sewing them together and then the next attaching the elastic. I think I get through about 15 a week. I've slowed down as family is only looking for new fabric choices now.
Me: *Looking through tons of videos on masks and glasses fogging* Her: Lockdown is Shite... BUT I have a craft to waste a few hours. :| Me: *Subscribes*
Could you please tell me again where you got the pattern? I am a bit hard of hearing. I can't understand where you got the pattern. Thank you so much! I love this pattern. I am going to make several for my daughter.
Its so lovely to hear you will make these for your daughter 😊 I've also added subtitles to all my videos. In the bottom right corner of the video the "cc" button, and can turn on the subtitles. Hope this helps!
what do you mean by cable tie wire for the nose bridge? Do you mean like the wire ties that come with my recycle bags? What you showed seemed much more stable than what I am talking about!
Hey Tracey, the wire is coated in a rubbery plastic and has a flatness to it. It measured 3 millimetres wide, but it's very flat. Inside is a silver wire. I think the plastic coating gives it more rigidity. I've also had success using garden wire. That seems to have a green plastic coating on it. I hope this helps!
@@EmmaSandy could you send a link to the wire you are talking about? Amazon perhaps? I can't find what you are talking about. We call cable wire zip ties and they are plastic and not moldable
@@EmmaSandy excellent, thank you so much!! I'm new to the whole having to wear glasses thing & there are so many places/styles/fits it's overwhelming...but yours are so cute & fit your face so well I just had to ask 🧡
Hi Margo, here is a link to the pattern I use. www.dropbox.com/sh/0fymxhh97qm6xcu/AAAWkjZbjuwHrpKf6c6aXqhpa?dl=0 You can set PDF size to 100% and trace from the screen as a light box or print it off :) best of luck with it & stay safe.
I think 5 or 6 inches would fit me. You could try tying the elastic before cutting it just in case it needs adjusting. Also hair elastic(s) could be an option!
Yes if you prefer the ear elastic you could try around 5 inches to see if that fits. I prefer behind-the-head elastic for wearing the mask for a long period of time. I wore my mask today for 5 hours and it was comfortable. It is a little more fiddly to put on over my head so I like a pony tail to hold the elastic firmly. Hope you find something that works for you!
@@EmmaSandy something that i have attempted to start doing is putting hooks in the back elastic so you can get it on and off faster. please excuse my terrible stitching this is a test run on one of the first masks i made so the stitching isn't great XD i.gyazo.com/2a0bc9fe59d50c92ee8c50e8eac341ba.jpg
Yippee😊! Thanks for subscribing Shasta! I had my mask on for over an hour yesterday and it was working a treat. It did threaten to fog when I was leaning over a little, but I really think tucking it under is the trick! Stay safe.
Thanks for sharing your mask I will do it for my daugther and I need pattern for my friend is there a bigger size for long face from nose to chin and another one wider from cheek to cheek?
I dont have a larger pattern to hand but you could open the PDF on a computer, set it to 100% size then zoom in a little further (maybe 105%?) and trace from the screen. Alternatively. You could pin the pattern to a light coloured materials and use a pencil to draw slightly further out from the pattern. Hope this helps! Stay safe.
How bad does it shrink after washing? My mom made a few (not ur pattern) and after washing the shrunk so bad they weren't usable for an adult anylonger
I've hand washed mine lots of times and never had any shrinking problems. I have also sometimes steam ironed them to clean them. I've never had any shrinking. It might be the material that is causing the shrinking... I used 100% cotton or thick T-shirt material (that doesn't let much light through). Hope this helps!
I'd try tracing the pattern from the computer screen at 60% zoom. Check the size of one inner fabric to make sure it covers half of the face enough. You could also print it out at the normal size, then cut a perimeter (id try around 2cm) from all sides. Hope this helps Barbara!
Did you have to edit the opening? XD. Never mind, at least I can still hear it in my memory. And you've still left the bit at 1.47. So, here I go again... this time tomorrow I'll I have needle-bleed under my thumbnail. Thanks for this tutorial. From a fellow UK glasses wearer! X
Yes, you noticed! I cut out the first 3 seconds lol! This video has absolutely blown up and so I just got accepted onto the TH-cam partner program! And I'm getting so many followers which is *gulp* amazing but ahhh! I hope nobody is setting their expectations too high haha! In the rules, youtube doesn't like swears in the first 30 seconds of videos (off to a good start eh!) so I'm following the rules now😉 but... lockdown is still shite! Hope your mask comes out great! Stay safe! X
Yes that should work! I'd leave the ribbon long so it's easier to tie. A high ponytail might be needed to keep it steady if it's slipping. You could even make the ribbon tie at the top and tie it around the ponytail. If you're having trouble with the ribbon slipping out, you could sew it into one or two places on the sides. Best of luck with it!
Hello Rathna, here's a link to the pattern on Dropbox. You could set the PDF size to 100% and use the screen as a light box to trace the patter. www.dropbox.com/sh/0fymxhh97qm6xcu/AAAWkjZbjuwHrpKf6c6aXqhpa?dl=0 The elastic is 64cm/25inches elastic.
It is 100% cotton, quite soft but not stretchy. I got it from hobby craft in a pack of fat quarters. I've also used T-shirt fabric to make masks. Trying to select the one that let the least amount of light through & was the thickest to stop any particles with virus getting through the material. Hope this helps!
Masks are becoming more and more common. I'm getting quite used to mine now. We have 100% of people wearing masks in shops in Scotland, I wonder if Switzerland will follow soon!
Hi Tine. I used cable tie wires but garden wire, jewellery wire or a pipe cleaner would also be perfect. You could check behind the WIFI router, or any electrical cables for a cable tie. Hopefully you can find something at home. Stay safe!
Hey Gisela, for a smaller mask you could set the pattern PDF on the computer screen to 90-95% size and trace it. Or, you could cut off the outside border, 0.5-1cm from a paper template. Remember to leave enough length to fold over for the final edge (where elastic threads through). Hope this helps!

I wonder if replacing the inside fabric with a microfiber cloth and sewing it in will be a good idea to prevent moisture building up inside

If you would have turn the lining fabric in on itself, you have made it so you could put a filter in it as well or put the microfiber cloth inside.

Hey just saw ur video... Really liked it... And Just wanted to say ...You are too Cute 😅
Great pattern! Could you please tell me how long the wire should be, does it only go over the nose or the whole top seam? Thank you
Thanks Grace. The wire is along the whole top seam! I find the half wires don't stop glasses fog.
Thanks for the quick reply! I've made a mask & it is perfect, no fog! Thanks again for sharing.
what do you mean by cable tie wire for the nose bridge? Do you mean like the wire ties that come with my recycle bags? What you showed seemed much more stable than what I am talking about!
Hey Tracey, the wire is coated in a rubbery plastic and has a flatness to it. It measured 3 millimetres wide, but it's very flat. Inside is a silver wire. I think the plastic coating gives it more rigidity. I've also had success using garden wire. That seems to have a green plastic coating on it. I hope this helps!
@@EmmaSandy could you send a link to the wire you are talking about? Amazon perhaps? I can't find what you are talking about. We call cable wire zip ties and they are plastic and not moldable
Look at you thread that needle like a pro! I used to be able to do that. Lol.
Thanks Dorothy :D my Gran and the Girl Guides can take all the credit!
Nice tutorial.
Excellent tutorial, thank you!! Where did you get your glasses if you don't mind my asking?
Thanks Melanie! They are from Specsavers, the 'Fern' model from about 2 years ago.
@@EmmaSandy excellent, thank you so much!! I'm new to the whole having to wear glasses thing & there are so many places/styles/fits it's overwhelming...but yours are so cute & fit your face so well I just had to ask 🧡
Where do I find this wonderful pattern? The tutorial of putting it together was great. Thank you!
Thanks Mary, here's a link to the pattern:

Well done
Thanks Cristina. Stay safe!
Thanks for the patterns, it could be nice to see you try the masks on and show how the elastic fit over you head .
Hey Indy, check out 1:10😄 I pop one elastic at my bottom hair line and one level with a high pony tail.
I love it how can I get your pattern. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Margo, here is a link to the pattern I use.

You can set PDF size to 100% and trace from the screen as a light box or print it off :) best of luck with it & stay safe.
Do you know how much elastic to use if I’m making them just go around each ear? (Not all the way around my head)
I think 5 or 6 inches would fit me. You could try tying the elastic before cutting it just in case it needs adjusting. Also hair elastic(s) could be an option!
Thank you for sharing! Great tutorial !
Keep it Going 😀👍
I love your voice
Does it work as well to just hook elastic around the ears?
It does, but it *hurts*
Yes if you prefer the ear elastic you could try around 5 inches to see if that fits. I prefer behind-the-head elastic for wearing the mask for a long period of time. I wore my mask today for 5 hours and it was comfortable. It is a little more fiddly to put on over my head so I like a pony tail to hold the elastic firmly. Hope you find something that works for you!
@@EmmaSandy something that i have attempted to start doing is putting hooks in the back elastic so you can get it on and off faster. please excuse my terrible stitching this is a test run on one of the first masks i made so the stitching isn't great XD i.gyazo.com/2a0bc9fe59d50c92ee8c50e8eac341ba.jpg
Also, how long does the elastic have to be?
I used 64cm/25 inches for the elastic, you could always tie it to check the length before cutting & sewing 😄 stay safe x
Thank you!! Stay safe!!
This is perfect! Very clear instructions! Thank you :)
Glad it was helpful!
where did you find the measurements?

Bonjour. C'est 64cm / 25 inches. Stay safe!
Thank you so much have 2 hearing aids
@@EmmaSandy
😊 merci, super 👍🌺
Thanks.
I have this pattern and l love it 🥰
Yay!! I'm your 1k subscriber!! That's awesome!! Thank you for this tutorial, my glasses won't stop fogging up!!
Yippee😊! Thanks for subscribing Shasta! I had my mask on for over an hour yesterday and it was working a treat. It did threaten to fog when I was leaning over a little, but I really think tucking it under is the trick! Stay safe.
Thanks for sharing your mask I will do it for my daugther and I need pattern for my friend is there a bigger size for long face from nose to chin and another one wider from cheek to cheek?
I dont have a larger pattern to hand but you could open the PDF on a computer, set it to 100% size then zoom in a little further (maybe 105%?) and trace from the screen. Alternatively. You could pin the pattern to a light coloured materials and use a pencil to draw slightly further out from the pattern. Hope this helps! Stay safe.
Awesome pattern :D I'll be planning to make these for hospitals :>
Amazing & good luck!
How bad does it shrink after washing? My mom made a few (not ur pattern) and after washing the shrunk so bad they weren't usable for an adult anylonger
I've hand washed mine lots of times and never had any shrinking problems. I have also sometimes steam ironed them to clean them. I've never had any shrinking. It might be the material that is causing the shrinking... I used 100% cotton or thick T-shirt material (that doesn't let much light through). Hope this helps!
dont sablon size... How big? how many cm?
Do you have a pattern for a toddler?
I'd try tracing the pattern from the computer screen at 60% zoom. Check the size of one inner fabric to make sure it covers half of the face enough. You could also print it out at the normal size, then cut a perimeter (id try around 2cm) from all sides. Hope this helps Barbara!
@@EmmaSandy Thank you so much! I will give it a try.
Loved the video, how long should the elastic be in inches?
Thanks Naomi. The elastic is 25 inches. Stay safe!
This is really good! Thank you❤
How long were your elastics?
And ur video was awesome!
what size of elastic did you cut
Did you have to edit the opening? XD. Never mind, at least I can still hear it in my memory. And you've still left the bit at 1.47. So, here I go again... this time tomorrow I'll I have needle-bleed under my thumbnail. Thanks for this tutorial. From a fellow UK glasses wearer! X
Yes, you noticed! I cut out the first 3 seconds lol! This video has absolutely blown up and so I just got accepted onto the TH-cam partner program! And I'm getting so many followers which is *gulp* amazing but ahhh! I hope nobody is setting their expectations too high haha! In the rules, youtube doesn't like swears in the first 30 seconds of videos (off to a good start eh!) so I'm following the rules now😉 but... lockdown is still shite!
Hope your mask comes out great! Stay safe! X
Congrats! (Have got my pieces cut out... About to start sewing... Duh duh duh!)
Thank you!! Eeee! Exciting 🤞 keep me updated! I'm rooting for you 😎
Instead of elastic, could I use ribbon?
Yes that should work! I'd leave the ribbon long so it's easier to tie. A high ponytail might be needed to keep it steady if it's slipping. You could even make the ribbon tie at the top and tie it around the ponytail.
If you're having trouble with the ribbon slipping out, you could sew it into one or two places on the sides.
Best of luck with it!
@@EmmaSandy thank you so much!!!!!! I can’t wait to make it
What are the measurements you used here?
Hello Rathna, here's a link to the pattern on Dropbox. You could set the PDF size to 100% and use the screen as a light box to trace the patter.

The elastic is 64cm/25inches elastic.
Hi. What kind of fabric is the lining fabric? Thanks
It is 100% cotton, quite soft but not stretchy. I got it from hobby craft in a pack of fat quarters. I've also used T-shirt fabric to make masks. Trying to select the one that let the least amount of light through & was the thickest to stop any particles with virus getting through the material. Hope this helps!
Emma Sandy thank you so much for taking time to answer my query. As a noob in sewing, this is such a huge help for me. Thank you.
@@numerotrese8189 no worries! Hope you have fun with the mask making & you find a good fabric. Stay safe.
How long was the elastic?
64cm / 25 inches
Here in Switzerland we have obligatory masks on trains.discussions to wear In the stores
Masks are becoming more and more common. I'm getting quite used to mine now. We have 100% of people wearing masks in shops in Scotland, I wonder if Switzerland will follow soon!
What type of wire do you use and where do you purchase it?
Hi Tine. I used cable tie wires but garden wire, jewellery wire or a pipe cleaner would also be perfect. You could check behind the WIFI router, or any electrical cables for a cable tie. Hopefully you can find something at home. Stay safe!
Love it... Where can I get the pattern
Here's a link to the pattern. www.dropbox.com/sh/0fymxhh97qm6xcu/AAAWkjZbjuwHrpKf6c6aXqhpa?dl=0
What if you want to make a smaller size
Hey Gisela, for a smaller mask you could set the pattern PDF on the computer screen to 90-95% size and trace it. Or, you could cut off the outside border, 0.5-1cm from a paper template. Remember to leave enough length to fold over for the final edge (where elastic threads through). Hope this helps!
