- Another face mask? Yes but faster & easier than ever!!!!!!
This method uses a serger & a sewing machine but can be adapted if you don't have a serger. There are no pleats & no turning right sides out. This eliminates time & hassle letting you make bunches more! In place of the elastic, use cording - paracord or shoe or boot laces. To make cutting really fast & accurate, use my Winner Designs 8" x 10" Rectangle Template. Kid masks can be done with my 7" x 9" Rectangle. Plus, I show how to 'fussy cut' with my Fussy Cut Frame to get those cool designs right where you want them!

Thanks for watching! Linda
Nice video - you are doing a great job helping people!!
Thanks sew much! Appreciate everyone that has been or stil is making masks for others!
An old trick my grandma used for threading elastic and laces was to put a safety pin through the end of the lace or elastic and then push it through. The pin being solid goes in easily and passes through like a knife through butter. Pull it out the other end and remove the pin. Job done. She used to be a professional seamstress 70 + years ago making posh frocks for the gentry in England. Everything was either hand stitched or by her trusty old Singer which I later learnt to use. Also back in 1957 she made my mum’s wedding dress and six bridesmaids dresses too, I still have the dress.
I just love you, get back to me now. Straight to the point. I just love you... now I am gonna binge watch
Oh, thanks - Glad you like my crazy style!
I love this face mask and I love your videos
I love the way you present. Most people talk too much about nothing. You go right to the point. If you want to go back you are able to easily enough. You know what you are doing and I look forward to other videos. God bless.
I love your design, so far this one is the easiest of all. Thank you for sharing
Simple & fast but also very comfortable!
Boy, I love the way you don't waste any time and get right to the point. I lose interest about 5 seconds into other videos. This was clear, concise and quick. Gave me some more ideas!!!
🤭 I think the same way, too much talking bores me & at times I go to the settings & play the video at a faster speed 😲😁 to help me decide if the video is worth watching till the end... and boy 🙆🏻♀️ this is a great tutorial!! Thank you so much for the great ideas, keep up the good work & I'm headed over to your website!! ❤️🙋🏻♀️P.S. I put the video speed back to "normal" when you whipped out the (I forgot what you called them) cut out guides, those are awesome 😁👍
How much are serger
@@patsummer135 She could edit and talks far too fast but I like that because I'm a seamstress too so I get it, but if people want to, they can revisit the area they aren't sure about.
FR FR!! Straight facts!!

Beautiful blog 🙏 thanks friend stay connected
Love this mask! My son is a CNA and likes that the mask can hang down so he can breathe for a few minutes when outside of a room, but he hated tying them. So, I added a cord lock to the ends of the shoe strings! It was a PERFECT! Easy to adjust and no more tying and no more hair caught in the laces! 😁😁😁
I’m teaching myself how to sew. Just borrowing someone’s machine as I haven’t even bought my own but I want a new hobby to keep me clean and sober. So thankful I found your channel. I just love you! I taught myself how to make mask to donate so far and this way looks so much quicker and easier. Thank you thank. Your personality such an inspiration!
Stay strong and healthy! I'm proud of you! 🥰
Congratulations on your recovery! I don't know you, but I'm very proud of you!
Proud of you .yes sewing will help you stay busy ....creating things that are useful . God bless you .
I like your no nonsense attitude. You get right to the point & don't waste our time. Wish I had a serger though. That's ok. I'm going to love choosing cool focus fabrics to showcase!
For those of us wirhout a sewing machine witch stitch is golden!!! Used nothing but witch stitching for my mask!! Only needed items to make where iron, scissors. And Witch Stitch also called fusible bonding material!! Great stuff!!!
I use a similar pattern from Homemadeonourhomestead; yours is very efficient, too. I've found that stitching about 1/2" from the top and 1" away from the side channel seams allows for the removal of chenille stems prior to washing. The stems rust. Any lightweight, bendable wire can easily be inserted into the channel, provided the ends are curled to keep the points from catching in the material or poking skin. While I prefer to stitch-and-turn to accommodate a filter pocket, I can see where your two-layer serged style is nice for covering other masks. Great video! Thank you for sharing.
That's my preferred too! Three-ply and no waste, instant pocket, and will fit anyone
Yes I like the nurses video as well and have you watched her question-and-answer video that relates to the mask?
When a novice can turn out masks quickly, you know you’ve got a winner! I came up with the same idea (but I’m sticking with tshirt yarn) from cobbling together other patterns, but you’ve got the serger idea, finished project, and the video! Thanks for validating - off to make more masks...
Love the pull thru cord. Well done
Oh how I wish I could sew. I’m a 68 y o widow with MS/Multiple Sclerosis, blind in my left eye, as well as other diagnosis. I’m on my 60th day of self isolation. 😔 Last Summer I bought a very inexpensive Sewing Machine when one of our Craft Stores was going out of business! COVID19 might very well be the reason that I try to learn how to sew! After raising 3 children & hand sewing only this might be what finally gives me that push at least to try. No Serger here but with your instructions I’m hopeful I can learn. I fell in love with the fabric you used as a model. What a lovely piece in itself. Hoping to find your FaceBook page, etc in the description box. My vision is very poor but along with good old Dollar Tree glasses for close work I’m certainly going to give this a try, if I can figure out how to set up the Sewing Machine, Bobbin, etc. Here in Ohio most stores are opening May 12th. Our Governor is still asking us to stay at home unless we have to go out for necessities. Unfortunately he backtracked on making masks mandatory which really frightens me. 😔 In my opinion he should’ve kept it “mandatory with exceptions”. Too many careless people these days so if I finally get out I know I need to wear a Mask. TY {{{ HUGGZ }}} for sharing your knowledge. New Subbie here. ~Su. Plz overlook any typos. My vision in my right eye is also going thru issues now as well. Stay safe my new YT Friend❣️
Sudan you can contact me if I can help you with anything in learning about sewing. I've had friends with MS in remission and getting along quite well. I'm originally from Chgo and even spent a couple years in Dayton working at VA Hospital. I live in Arizona now since 1972, and I have 5 years on you. I've been sewing all my life. Contact me at greenpsme@gmail.com. Don't you just love Linda Winner!?
I've looked at no less than 15 mask videos, and yours is the one I'm going to use for making them! So easy to follow and just very good looking and it also looks safe. Thanks so much for not bogging the tutorial down with fluffy, useless commentary. 😷👍
So many masks, so little time! Great addition.
You are great at this. Fast, Clear, no umm'ing or hesitating. THANK YOU!!!
Back in Chicago we called that "urring and turring" which I absolutely hate. I'm a "counter" when anybody is making a speech. "Go ahead and spit it out!" is what I say with any narrative. Otherwise, I lose interest.
Great Video - fast and efficient - I had not thought to use my serger to avoid turning. One thing I did differently was I sewed an angle at the four corners - I used 1 inch with my sewing machine and turning, I think about 1/2 " would work on the serger. This way when you turn under for the cord channel you don't have all that bulk at the top and bottom but a nice angle at the top and bottom. I hope I explained that well. Also I know what you mean about the tee shirt cords but what I like is once I tie the top in place I don't need to un tie, it stretches enough to slip on and off. I'm off to see more of your videos - I love your no nonsense style!
Great video. No waste of time. Will look for more of your videos.
I love love your video thank you for showing a Beginner sewer how to make this mask. You make it seem so easy.
Wow! You are very clever and creative! Great looking masks!
I love the quick demonstration. I made it with the glass of an 8x10 frame until I order your product. I love the ability to position the fabric. I layered a filter inside, it is a comfortable fit and serves the purpose for me to use when going out for essentials. Great Tutorial thanks!
I love this pattern. I pulled the middle white stuff out of the paracord. and that worked great. I couldn't find any materials in my area and I don't shop with the virus.out there. I only went to one place and they had the paracord. This is a great pattern. Even easy enough for kids to do.
I just purchased some more fabric and want to make masks for the family using this method. I also bought "Kiwi Sneaker No-Tie shoe laces in the shoe department at Walmart. They come with a a pair of stretching shoe laces, a toggle, and end caps. I'm going to try to use it so instead of having to tie the lace, I can just pull the toggle and adjust it so that it is comfortable. Hoping the laces are long enough at 44", but if not, can get longer laces. I was having a difficult time finding toggles which I wanted to use once I saw your video, so decided to try these. Hope it works! Also, this design will be great because I wear glasses and have hearing aids and the masks that fit around my ears are not comfortable. Thanks for the video!
I love this type of mask, because the pleated ones gap at the sides of my face which I don't like. This looks so easy to do. Thank you so much.
I also love how you don't get side tracked, you stay to the point.
Great tutorial. For all those saying you're fast, just slow the video down in your settings. I appreciated the speed, you were quick, concise and I actually learnt a few things. Also you knew that by now many had already watched a bunch of mask videos, and they just wanted a super quick tutorial and no chit chat, you delivered. For those that dont have a overlocker (serger) you can use the overcast foot and stitch on your machine if it has it. Just make sure your edges are super straight and not frayed.
In my day they were called overlock machine. I see now it is called a surger.
well thats one of the best no nonsesce tutorials i seen , thank you so much . Anne from the uk
Love the quick and easy mask! I'll be making a few - even for the grandkids. I might just go a step beyond with some embroidery...maybe! Thanks!
This looks fast and easy. Thanks for sharing!
So many people have commented about not letting the mask dangle because the part that was against the face is hanging down. I've made a ton of these and we leave the mask tied behind our head and when we need to pull it down, we don't untie it, but pull the tied part down onto our neck and then the inside of the mask is folded so as to not get contaminated. Not sure if everyone who has commented on this will read this, but I hope so. I made a ton of these for my grandson to take back to college.
Thank you, Ruth, for your comments & great suggestion! If I were to film this video again, I would do so many things different now that I've had a lot more experience wearing masks!!! Great to see you here~
@@Lindavideos I just sent a cousin this video because she is making masks and also quilts and has a serger so am hoping she will love all your videos as much as I do. I love the fact that you get right to the point and don't play distracting music that is very annoying to me! I love the fussy cut templates!
@@ruthminter8917 Thank you, Ruth! Mask making is going to be around for a long time so finding the mask style & technique that works best for you is important. I'm a pretty lazy sewer so I like the get er done method! I hope she has great success in whatever she does~ Thanks for sharing!
My first time watching. I really appreciate how you go step by step without wasting time and losing my interest. I loved the presentation. Some are just to confusing to follow. Thank you
OMG, Thank You!!!! I have a serger foot on my new Singer machine and I'm gonna figure it out. My children and grand children need several and this is a winner. My son and daughter-in-law both military will really appreciate your design . Thanks Again . Bless you and your skills.
Not her design. Saw this pattern a month ago on a TH-cam channel that belongs to a nurse
@@dcwatashi your relative . . .
Beautiful work I like.
Love the ideas I'm a nurse and work 12 hr shifts I've been trying a lot of different ideas but these are great
Love this video. So many sewing .. but not surging . It's definitely the way to go
I have made a couple this and agree with placing the cord prior to finishing sides. Also..FYI..you can order 'coreless' Paracord. It is flat like a shoelace. You can then just hit the raw edges with a lighter and they will not fray. Great video!
Thanks! I was just going to order cording.
I have made 7 mask designs now, and they all seem to take too long, although much if this is because I’m not a fast sewer. I tried this style awhile ago, so I went back to pleated ones. No more. This is so much faster, so I’m glad I found your video to remind me.
Love you and your video. My daughter and I are starting to do these and you were so helpful and sweet on the phone. Thanks for your help. Keep these great videos coming!
Very Impressed! Have tried several face mask patterns and will try this this week end. Thanks so much & God Bless! I don't have a serger but this still seems so much quicker than the other masks I've made. Made over 20 & am anxious to try this. Thanks again.
Luv that print with the Day of The Dead lady! So pretty! Super video! Thank you👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I think this is the best video yet! I've been making masks all serged, and only folding under the ear elastic sides to support the serged on ear elastics. I like this one piece mask much better, especially since it'll show a pretty print nicely. Thank you! Tomorrow I'll be whipping these out too. :)
so quick with a serger! Thanks for ideas!
Love this idea the best ever
I made them this way and sent a video & pictures on how to put on😀 I did my ties with 100% cotton and crochet chain stitch and is very comfortable. Another way to go around ears is to loop through again and then you can cinch to adjust. Love your material 💕
Benn making pleated masks....whew....this looks much easier! Thanks!
Miss Linda, your great. I'm embroidering one side of mine. I do not have a surger, so I sewed them pretty sides together as close as possible and let a tiny hole to pull through. Tomorrow I'll try to bring the shoe strings through. You go fast but I just pause then play then continue on. I like how you do it. I just hope I don't mess it up. Thank you
Made the face mask for my granddaughter. It is comfy and perfect for her. Thanks. I am a novice at sewing so this was really easy. Love the non slip templates. They make life easier. Want to get some.
I prefer the tee shirt strings. I make my casings 3/4”. We don’t have dollar tree stores. Love the idea of the pipe cleaners for the nose piece. You have some great ides on things. Great job on the video.
Wow!! Gorgeous work!! Best face mask 😷 design!! Can’t wait to try!!! Ty!!!
Yeah but it's not her design.
I have been using the wire tabs that come on coffee bags. You can cut them in thirds and they work well. I just make a larger pocket for it.
I made many of these for an assisted living community and they loved them because they will fit anybody! Those shaped, fitted masks just need to be individually fitted to really work.
Wow best mask yet!
After seeing this demonstration I now know I can do this you were so detailed which was perfect for a beginner like myself THANK YOU!!!
Aloha now I want a serger plus those tools you are so Blessed to have a wonderful sewing Shop
WOW..... I love this style of mask
I am so incredibly happy I found this video. Thank you so much for sharing your methods.
Wow. I've tried at least 3 different styles of masks and yours is definitely the easiest , fastest and safest. I'm so glad I found you on TH-cam and have subscribed to see what else you can do to make my life easier. Thanks much.
This is not her design by the way. A nurse put this out about a month ago
@@dcwatashi maybe the 4th or 5th time for this 2cents worth! What, is it a relative of yours you're trying to make certain she gets the credit? I don't think Linda ever said this was HER design. She's just putting it out there with the scads of others and showing his much quicker it can be done. Please try looking at the situation differently.
@@polliewilliams1749 it was at the very beginning of the video when she started talking about that mask.
And no the nurse who came up with this a month ago is a total stranger I don't know her at all. But she is a super nice person from what I gather and put a lot of thought and effort into coming up with this design originally to cover I believe the n95 masks.
there were a lot of people making comments on this thread that Linda spoke too quickly so I could go back and provide them a link to the original video because the nurse took her time explaining how to make it.
I did enjoy this video I learned a lot from Linda.
So glad that I found your video. And thank you so much for answering my questions when I called.
Love love love how you keep that steady pace no mess no fuss!!
Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial! This is just the type of adjustable mask I was looking for for a few people since the Olson style that I was making doesn't seem to work quite as well on larger jaws or bigger faces. I don't have a serger so I did a few modifications to sew on a regular machine using one 8x20 inch piece of fabric and it worked out perfectly!
I really enjoy the way you jump right in to variety of ways to make this mask. Everyone just blah blah blah boring 😴. I found at dollar store garden flexible tire wire 16.5 ft. Jyst cut with pair of ✂️, not wire cutters. Its soft plastic, works great as nose piece.
I love this style. This is the first video I've seen of yours. I will share it with my groups and my page. Terrific job. Thank you.
Great! I have the perfect fabric for this, with panels printed all over the yardage - so thank you for the video. I even have the perfect tool for inserting the cording - it's a set of tubes for turning straps etc. I used to buy clear tubing at the hardware store but now I have those tubes; they have a stick for pushing the ribbon through the tube. I also have a tool that's a long needle with a hook at one end; the hook grabs the cord and you just pull.
This was excellent! Watched ur video b4 sewing my project. Very informative and straight forward. I need to come to ur house to shop for fabric.😁
I searched all over the internet for a video like yours! Thank you so much!
Hi Linda! I feel like a mask making machine! I like how quick things go when you have the right machines and tools. I've used the same bootlaces, same idea but I use a cord lock. Guys prefer that cord lock for their masks. Thanks for this tutorial
Where did you get the cord locks, and are they hard to put on the laces?
@@karinas9922 I've had the cord locks from different projects. The laces are easy to put in the locks because of the plastic at the ends of the laces.
I bought my cord locks from Amazon. www.amazon.com/dp/B07NY4HJBV?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details Are you the lady from IN? I lost your earlier reply and do not know how to contact you directly
@@Imastitchertoo Not me.
Wish I had a stash of fabric, I'm using pillow cases and old bedsheets here in Illinois. I like to sew but haven't for a while, making do!ls and doll clothes. I've made some masks with what I had, I work at a special needs school but we are obviously closed now I have time on my hands!
I enjoyed your video and simple pattern use! I like the idea of stringing the ties through a casing! I will try that next time!
Stay safe!
Me too, here in Corning NY. Had a few pieces of fabric, had to cut one of my cotton sheet, it had elastic to form the corners, could not find any elastic anywhere before the shutdown. I did find some clothesline at the dollar store for cord material. Works good
Christine Weber is Joann Fabrics still giving away fabric for masks? I ran out of elastic and cut 2” strips off an old t-shirt made of sturdy, but not thick, material 100% cotton.
Christine, please contact me privately by adding at gmail dot com to my name. This is NOT a scam and I assure you I'm not a robot.
Thank you Linda! I just bought a serger yesterday and THEN found YOU! I have been making so many masks the hard way and now I can use my serger to make masks faster. I'm off to the dollar store for boot laces. You rock!!!!
I couldn't find any at dollar store but found some boot l laces at Walmart.
Let's try not to buy products from China. We need to support other countries who are devastated by this financial disaster
Love the artist fabric. Great idea as well. Will use your method without the surger.
My husband is an essential worker and he washers is mask all the time and I used the Dollar Tree shoe laces. I also make the Craft Passion pocket mask and they take me 15 minutes start to finish.
I don't even sew but love your video. I think I like this mask better than any I've seen so far. May try to hand stitch one.
Thanks for helping me today. Enjoyed our visit and hope to get in sometime for a class. Can’t wait to try your tips.
Great idea, I will use your advice and added my own little goodies. I am using stretchable shoes strings for ties.
And also you can use floral ties instead of pipe cleaners if you cannot find them. The floral ties can also serve for threading the shoe laces or cords into the side casting but folder one floral tie in half, leave a small loop at the fold and use it as the guide to thread in the strings.
I would love to be able to serge but I don't have a serger so if you have a tip on how to serge with sewing machine to share I would appreciate any advice. Thanks again for sharing!! Stay safe everyone!
You are the BOMB!! Thank you so much my fellow 💕 creator!!
Thank you for this video! I love how easy this mask is to make, and how cool it looks. I am a "lefty" too; so it is nice to see a video from MY perspective. Love how fast you talk. I learn a lot in a short time. (people who are new to sewing, might have to rewind a lot! Ha..... haaaaa!) You make it very interesting and have the coolest tools! I want some!! 😉 Thanks for your time!
Hi Ms.Linda,loved how you went through instructions.I decided to make this,my first mask.I've seen many,but yours was simple,thanks!
I think even I can make this! Thank you!
Why haven’t I found you before, my new friend. I talk fast and it’s a pleasure to watch you work. No surger but I’ll make do. Love your design.
It's not her design. A nurse put this video out about a month ago
dcwatashi yes I saw that video too
@@dcwatashi I like the idea of fussy cutting. I've never seen that before.
This is the best! I’ve been having a hard time with the pleated pattern. Yours is simple, really fast to make, and fast but easy to understand instructions. Thank you, Linda.
Regina Bautista Me too! The pleats are a struggle. I love this!
Regina Bautista I am so happy to know that I am not the only one tripping over the pleats. I could make 2 masks in the time I tried to do the pleats. I love her fast simple way now that I have made over 300 the other ways. I was using Mimi G’s pattern and I was cranking them out but I have had request for the pleats, I will give them gathers instead!!! Wish I had found this about a month ago!!!
I'm making the Olson mask sewing by hand and that is alot of work. This method is alot simpler. The only I'd have to do is leave an opening in the back because the senior program I attend wants a filter in DIY face mask. But this method is so much faster and I never thought of using a shoe lace.
I believe this pattern belongs to a nurse and her TH-cam channel is called
Homemade on our homestead (no spaces)
She put out this design about a month ago
This is by far my favorite mask of all the tutorials I've seen! I LOVE the ties with a loop at the bottom so that you can let it hang form your neck without removing to altogether! Great design, Linda!
I WOULD like to see printed instructions with a supply list, so that I can follow the instructions without having to keep going back to the video. Linda, please provide a printed instructions/materials file for users to refer to so that making this mask easier. I can't keep even my tablet near my limited sewing space. Thank you.
It's not her design. A nurse put this video out around a month ago

Love how quick these are to make.
Lived this video. Thank you. On my way to watch your cutting video.
great !!! very simple n speedy idea
This is how I make mine!! Great tutorial. Fast paced and precise,. thanks
Excellent idea.
I love this video!!! She goes pretty fast, and I’m not that fast, but great pattern and easy to get down once it’s done the first time. I used paracord. If u guy the cord, and have a paracord threader, it works perfectly! Thanks so much for the video!!!
Ive been making these even before I saw this video.....I use a cord lock to lock the cords ( Paracord) instead of tying them...so much easy. Nice video!
Would you be able to share a picture of the cord locks you are using, or a link where to order from? TY
@@sharonkalkwarf9768 IDK if you are asking for specific ones - but here's a variety of choices depending on how many you need. www.amazon.com/s?k=cord+lock&ref=nb_sb_noss
Thank you for sharing your videos. Love, love your mask. Serger is the best and super fast. The fabric with big faces are amazing. Also those square or black patterns blocks are so awesome. Please, send me more information were buy the products or the websites. Many Blessings. I appreciate all you do!
Love the new face mask, found you on u tube
Love your video! Even though, you talk so fast, you say alot of really easy to understand , information. Thank you for your time to help us.
Once I changed the playback speed ... whew... thanks for the great tutorial!
I appreciate the time, energy, instruction and attention to details of this video. The talking fast doesn’t bother me. I think some folks that aren’t as familiar may not realize they can stop the video, take notes, replay parts etc. Bless you for taking the time.
It's hard for a beginner even stoping and starting the video. I'm tryna learn and this could have bn way easier. Now I'm reading comments and cross referencing info. One of the harder to follow video I've seen so far for a beginner. Love the template tho. Wanna try this!!!
You can slow the video down
I have made many different styles, but this one looks a lot easier!
Por Dios! Esta mujer habla sin respirar! 😊
GREAT TUTORIAL..EVER...I NEED YOUR ENERGY...keep rocking mamma!
