To help you make an informed decision about DIY face mask filter materials, I have an article with evidence-based research about face mask filter material we’ve seen mentioned. This article will be kept up-to-date as new research is published. jennifermaker.com/diy-face-mask-filter-materials/
Thank you so much!
Jennifer Maker can you use transfer paper
I get it now. How crazy of me not seeing what I was doing wrong but it did take me several times to understand what Jennifer was doing in Cricut . This cold has got me going crazy these days.
Jennifer Maker can you do it with elastic to go around the ears my dad can’t reach back to make it tie? Thanks from learning how to sew,
I've sewn a few of these with elastic and they've turned out great! Unfortunately, the typical sizes I've made don't all fit. I made a medium for me, which fit, but the large for my husband was too tight. I've been asked to make quite a few and want to make sure they fit each person. Am I doing something wrong or should measurements fit average person (large for man, etc.)
Just for reference since I know I keep going back and looking at this video for certain steps since it was the best one I found:
Step 1: Get the Pattern - 3:37
Step 2: Cut the Fabric - 5:09
Step 3: Sew the Fabric - 8:17
Step 4: Add the Pocket - 9:45
Step 5: Add the Straps - 11:00
Step 6: Sew up the Mask - 12:04
Step 7: Add the Wire - 14:18
Step 8: Insert the Filter - 15:57
You are AMAZING! Thank you!
bless you
Thank you for this! This will make it easier when I refer back to it.
Alex Bitzer thanks SO much for this!
Thanks so much for this! You're amazing Jennifer 💕
I’ve been a first responder for half my life and I love how everyone has come together to make face mask for the healthcare workers due to the shortage God bless you all
Thank you for your service! ❤️
WISH MORE WERE ACCEPTING THE ITEMS VERSUS NOT ALLOWING OUR HEALTH CARE WORKERS TO USE ANYTHING EXTRA FROM HOME! WHEN THEY ARE HAVING THEM TAKE THEIR N95 MASKS HOME IN A BROWN PAPER BAG
Love your videos!
Hello I am a registered nurse taking care of covid veterans at Birmingham VA center. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video I am going to attempt to make this mask for myself and my co workers!
Thank YOU for your hard work on the front lines! ❤️
Thank you so much Jennifer for your valuable assistance in providing these face mask patterns free of charge. May the Creator bless you, your family and staff!
Oh, thank you so much for your kind words, Mayra! 😍
I'm a medical assistant, I recently won my battle against uterine cancer. Having had surgery 4 weeks ago my immune system is compromised. Going to work and not having the proper equipment to protect ourselves is the scariest thing. A lot of people have said "just stay home" but helping people is what we do. I can't thank you enough. This has inspired so many people to step up and make mask in a time when we need them most.
Thank you, Alejandra! And congratulations on your win!!! 😍
Thank you so much. Please be safe.
I had my surgery on 3 11, still need radiation. Will have to go back to floor work soon. Need to go to hospital prepared to protect myself, so thank you for the pattern Jennifer Maker and good luck Alejandra. Be safe, be well.
Thank you for a straight-forward, step by step tutorial. For us non-sewers, this was just what I needed after trying a bunch of others that were so confusing. Thank you!!!
You're very welcome! Glad I could help!
I am a healthcare worker. Thank you Jennifer Maker on behalf of myself and all healthcare workers. Thank you for using your skills to benefit others❤️
Thank YOU for working so hard to keep everyone healthy right now! ❤️
This is way better than using the hair ties behind the ear. It’s also very simple for those of us that do not know how to sew! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! 😍
this is the best method that i have come across with all the aspects that I am looking for. my husband is an essential worker and is very grateful
Thank you so very much! 😄
Thank you so much for posting this. Hint: My Husband found that using a tennis ball or sock darner worked great for ironing out the curved seams of the fabric.
Oh, that's a great idea, too, Darlene! What a smart husband you have! 😍
Thank you so much 😭I just made my first mask. I'm so overwhelmed with pride and also sadness. I'm proud that I can now supply my family with masks. Sad that it's come to this. God bless you!
Yes, I understand those conflicting emotions all too well! 😊
Yaaaas! Finally I have searched, researched, 🤓read, and studied 🧐far and wide for a Tutorial that included 💥everything!💥
💕Thank you so much! Stay Happy and Grateful, and Healthy everyone

Thank you! Happy sewing! ❤️ You stay healthy yourself!
I'm in Long Beach, MS and have been sewing these all night. I've run out of ribbon and am making bias tape now. Thank you for sharing!
Heather, if you can get out, buy elastic hair bands. We have a “dollar tree” and I bought up as many as I could of $1.00 packages of folded elastic head bands, getting as much as 12 bands for $1. You can get up to 3 mask with one headband if you make it fo over the ears. Also, get the elastic ponytail holders. $1 for up to 36 ponytail holders which can give you one over the ear elastic (because they are much shorter but perfect for smaller masks). So think about it, you get a rainbow of vibrant colored elastic for extremely cheap. I live in Palm Coast, Florida and I just started making mine to get to healthcare workers in our areas and neighbors. Thanks for making yours!
Glad to hear you are getting resourceful and making bias tape! Happy Sewing!
My crafty lady!! who needs elastic when we have satin ribbon...and who needs satin ribbon when you have bias tape!!! i love it!! Can't wait to start making these masks.
Rubber bands. They are available an works So good nice a snug. They wear hats etc
Which one works better,,,the satin ribbon or bias tape ??? I am hearing the nurses don't want elastic, or hair ties they are,,hurting their ears ,,Thanks..
I've been testing patterns and tutorials over the last two days. I find yours the easiest to follow. Thank you. Rochester, NY
Awww...I'm SO happy to hear this! Thanks so much! Stay safe, and happy crafting! ❤️
I totally agree. I've tested several and they were not what I felt or consider to be the best style/pattern that I wanted to create in bulk that was in compliance. I just do this one. It did take me a bit cause I kept referring back to the video, I'm hoping the next one is faster for me. I do love the idea of the velcro steps. Being a visual person I do wish there was a video tho. I'm am so thankful I discovered this video. Thank you so much! ✂️
PS I'm also thankful that I am a hoarder of sewing and crafting supplies so I did not have to venture out to get anything 😊 I even had the HEPA bags!
Fredericka W Connor how did you receive the pattern. It’s not coming to my email, or my junk email either.
I never comment on videos, and I know so many have said it already, but this is the best mask tutorial that I have found. I am a beginner to intermediate sewer, and your instructions are clear and concise. Thank you so much and please keep up the great work!
Wow, thank you! So happy to help! :)
Thank you Jennifer Maker. I am a healthcare worker. I have never sewed a day in my life. But I knew I needed my own mask. I watched many videos but your has been the best! Once I figured out to use the handed down sewing machine from my grandmother it was a breeze. Thanks for the free pattern, the awesome tutorial, and sharing your knowledge. I will share your site.
Thank you so much for your kind words about our tutorial! And thank you even more for your work during these trying times! We all owe you our gratitude! Stay well! 😍
Thank you for helping so many people help others. You’re truly an angel
Awww, I don't know about that, Michelle, but thank you so much for your very kind words! 🥰
Love this - Thank You! I'm a homeschool mom and a memo was sent out to our co-op group with a request from our local medical groups needing masks. I'm going to put this link in along with added "plus" that it would be a great "home-ec" lesson and/or distribution would help esp. our Jrs and Srs with their volunteer hours! Win/Win for all - our kids get credits they need as well as serving the community in some needed capacity during this time when we are all stuck in our homes and the medical community will get needed supplies they are short of currently!
Seems like we have many 'new' homeschool moms as well! Thank you for your kind comments and for sharing! Stay healthy and safe! ❤️
Thanks, Jennifer! I have made over 500 masks of various designs! It's is truly a labor of love!
That is awesome! You are AMAZING!
@@JenniferMaker 💕
I am a nurse and this is the best design I have seen.
Thank you so much, Road to the Homestead!
Yea, I’m going to have to make this much simpler. I have no sewing machine or any of the other lovely items you have shown.
I do however have needles, thread, ribbon, filters, iron, shirts to use for material.
Old school yes! But I have to try 🥰
Old school is the best we can do sometimes and that's perfectly okay! ❤️
You can totally do this. I have made multiple masks by hand.
I love this pattern. I am going to start making these for my daughter. She is a nurse and they are very low on mask. Thank you for this awesome pattern.
You're welcome! Give my regards to your daughter! ❤️
Thank you so much!! I love this. I wish I could post a picture of the ones I’ve made. Absolutely love it!! For those of you having problems, follow the link to her blog. I followed the instructions and watched the video. I then proceeded to slowly make 1. It came out perfect!! Now I’m just cranking them out! So be patient with yourself, listen to some nice music, and take it slow. The results are great and you’ll see how easy they are to make after you make your first one. Also, I cut them by hand and skipped the machine (cut tons of fabric while watching tv) so to make it easier on myself, I traced the pattern onto thick cardboard chipboard to make myself a thick pattern. Tracing with a washable pen was super fast this way. I also wrote on my pattern where the nose & mouth should go and the straps to keep me from getting confused as I was cutting a lot of fabric. Hope this helps. This is my favorite pattern of all I attempted to make so I’m sticking with it :) stay safe everyone
YAY! Thanks for sharing! So glad it all worked out for you! :)
Thank you Jennifer Maker for sharing your research and pattern with us. I SO appreciate all you share with us via your incredible library. You make a difference every day🎉
You are so welcome, Laura! 😍
Great video! Thank you so much for assisting our medical people and giving us a great tutorial so we can too.
My sister is a nurse and she instructed me to order some organic cotton muslin burp cloths on the DEFONO store in Amazon, and made 5 masks for my family, I believe it can reject the virus
Wow! That's neat!
Thanks for your kindness, Annette! ❤️
Thank you so much for posting the pattern!! I Love how everyone is getting together to help the current situation.
Isn't that a nice thing to watch happening, Connie?😍
She posted it or we still have to subscribe to get it??
@@JenniferMaker don't be afraid to put multiple ads on your videos.
Who knew that 6 months later, we'd still need these? Thank you for the easy to follow pattern and video.
Right? I am hoping it won't be forever! But for how, however we can stay healthy and safe!
I am a nurse in BC and have been seeing lots of FB posts about home made masks and have been shaking my head thinking these cannot be protective. Yes they are better than nothing but may give people a false sense of security. You have gone above and beyond putting in the research and making them the best that you can. Thank you so much for this and the explanation behind it!!
They are better than nothing! And certainly not intended to replace an N95 Mask, but something is better than nothing for sure! 😊
I love how you added filter inside.
Thanks! 😊
Thank you so much for posting this. I’ve been seeing people post things but you need to pay to see it and I love that you made it available to save to see later. I can’t believe they do that in this time. Thank you!!! You are a beautiful person
Awww..thank you! ❤️
Thank you for taking the time and energy to do the proper research on making masks. Such a wonderful and timely tutorial. Really love that you asked a nurse for what needs aren't being met, or just making sure you are making correctly to keep the nurses capable of helping us all!
You're welcome, Sheri! We try to do as much research as we can, especially in a situation like this. Luckily, I had someone really close who could not only help with that, but who was willing to act as a guinea pig!!!! 😁
Hi Jennifer, From a physician and crafter, thank you! The shortage is real. I have a Brother Scan N Cut, so thanks for the SVG. Gathering my supplies now. Shared this video with my nurse and we are getting on this today!
Thanks so much for your hard work! Hope you have a wonderful time sewing! ❤️ Stay healthy!
For ties on mask : cut 1" strip cotton t shirt material , pull and stretch it. Rolls over in itself, no sewing needed , soft and stretchy ...its perfect!
This is a FANTASTIC IDEA! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
@@JenniferMaker Thank you, came from brain storming with my friend's grandaughter bewailing no elastic for masks she was making. I talked to a surgeon here in Odessa who has a group of 250 people making masks ... they absolutely prefer ties to elastic! This is a huge time saver because you can make a tie in under a minute!
But she stated that the ties should NOT be of a stretchy material. ???
Thank you for making this video! I have been looking at home made masks to protect my family when they go out. Sure, it's not as good as an N95 mask, but it's better than nothing. After protecting my family, then I would be happy to make a bunch for the medical professionals that need them.
That's just it! Some protection is better than NO protection! 😊
Same! We are 100% staying home. Except hubby who is an interpreter for workers comp clinics. I don’t have enough supplies to make for donating but I have at least enough to make for hubby and staff at the clinic.
@@JenniferMaker yeah, you are quite right! It's even better that it's reusable. I figure that we can make two per a person. So that one can be washing/drying while the other is available for use.
I have been toying with the idea of a protective hood. One with a plastic viewing port. Since the virus can get in through the eyes. I'm not completely sure how well that would work, but it would be interesting to try.
@@euniceayala2958 I hope both of you stay safe and healthy!
Made 4, 2 for me and 2 for my husband. Thanks for the pattern. I found that trimming the seams with plinking shears helped ease the curves.
Yes, Carla, pinking shears are a great idea for those curves, also! 😍
Thank you Jennifer.
watching your videos has been helping me cope with the anxiety from covid and the social distancing.
I am about to begin making a DIY mask
So wonderful to hear, Colleen!
I love this. I too am a Respiratory Therapist. I would be interested in purchasing some. We are running low on PPE as well per the nationwide shortage. Please let me know how the purchase is possible. Thank you for thinkning of your BIL & allllllll of us healthcare works during this time!😍😍😍
@@josephpagan8770 Thank you for sharing, I agree with you, I have made 3 masks for my family, and I believe that you can reject bacterial virus invasion
Thank you Cynthia! Unfortunately, I am not making them to sell, only teaching others how they can make them. However, if you need them, please visit: masksfordocs.com/need to get matched with mask volunteers. :) Thank YOU for all that YOU are doing to get us through these times! ❤️
Stay safe my fellow RRT.
@@kimbuchanan9416 you as well!!!! #teameegotthis
Cynthia I’m making facemask if you need them. It’s very nice and very reasonable. I’m not making money for it. Contact me if you need it. Thanks
Awesome, I’m making baby hats and now I will make the masks. Thank you. 😷
So happy to hear that! Happy Sewing! ❤️
Jennifer, you are certainly an Angel from God! I love your sweet smile and personality in your videos. You are my go-to girl! Thank you for this. I am making these for my family members at high risk and my local EMS in need. God bless
Awww, Renee, thank you so much for your very kind words! And thank you even more for providing the masks to those who may need them! 😍
I'm so happy to see so many ppl making masks to help everyone in need
We have such an amazing community of crafters!
Hello Jennifer! Bless you and your Brother-In-Law. I am hopeful to be able to make mask for the healthcare workers here in San Diego, CA. Thank you for the tutorial!
Thank you! ❤️
This is a celebrity I can get behind right now. Thank you so much for the instruction. I plan to make some ASAP for family and friends who can't acquire masks at this time.
Hi, Josh! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tutorial! And thanks for helping the community!
Im so happy someone is following guidelines instead of just going cotton with no layer. This is amazing!
Oh, thank you for your nice words, Coral!🥰
Thank you so much Jennifer! You are so generous and kind to take the time to do this for us and I'm sure there are many healthcare workers who will be grateful.
I am happy I can be of help!
Thank you Jennifer! I need to learn to sew soon! Thankfully the laboratory I work at hasn’t run out yet
That's good! I'm glad you still have access to some!
I love this idea! I work in the ER and would like to have a backup just in case. I’m hoping I can put this together.
Thanks for your hard work in the ER! You can use these to extend the life of an N95 mask as well! 😊
I just finished my first one. It is really nice quality and design!! Thank you Jennifer Maker!!! I am happy to donate these to anyone in my area who needs one!
You are welcome! I am happy you like the design and quality! We did a lot of research and spent a lot of time designing them! 😃
Thanks so much as a health care worker this means a lot as supplies are running dismally low!!! We appreciate this! 🧡🧡
I'm so glad to be able to give back in the best way that I can
Love the pattern. Best one i've seen yet
Thanks Carolyn! ❤️
Jennifer, please add to your instructions that sewists should have clean hands and wear a mask themselves while sewing these masks together. Also, don't try the mask on after it is completed.
Hospitals are sanitizing all mask before they are used.
Hi Robin! Thank you for the concern, hospitals should be sanitizing them before giving them out. You can also use your dryer set on high, an iron, or even your Instant Pot to sterilize them.
Thank you for making this available to all of us. My husband is a sheriff deputy & is not able to practice social distancing at all times. I’ll be able to make some of these for his dept. They don’t have a lot of supplies so hopefully this helps them.
You're welcome, Nina! Please pass on our warm gratitude to your husband and his co-workers for the awesome work they are doing for all of us! 😍
This is a great mask. It has all the features of an N95 mask and is the best substitute I have seen. It looks more comfortable as well. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! I'm happy to help!
I am so grateful for / doing this. However... I wish you would slow down just a bit in your visual directions. The cut/draw/ attach is too fast and a bit confusing. I know you do it everyday, but I only get to do it on my days off. So it is quite a bit harder for me.
Hi Haley, thank you so much for watching! I'm sorry my directions might be a little too fast for you. You are more than welcome to decrease the speed of the video with the option that TH-cam gives you :)
@@JenniferMaker thanks. I figured it out. I am using a regular black pen on my maker. Is there a specific marker for Cricut? The cricut pens keep getting caught on the fabric
@@JenniferMaker yes i agree with Haley I am a beginner too like this is my first project on my cricut. I have been watching in slow mo over and over again and I guess i am stupid I am really stuck on the attachment step so only on the pieces on the left side? Your video shows 2 pieces on the left but there are 3 pieces on the right attachment. Is that correct?
I took Jennifer's advice and slowed down the speed of the video. You need to change the inner sewing line to draw instead of cut. I clicked on the eye icon on the right menu to hide these because I do not need the inner sewing line. She was layering a draw/cut to use with a fabric pen.
Cindy Walraven I am Soooo with you. I’ve rewatched that section at least 15 times. I get the change the line to draw part (although if I hadn’t followed the video I wouldn’t have known that was the inner line) but I can’t figure out how many of the layers need that line changed and what happened that made that 3rd dark green layer disappear and why don’t we need it.
I am so lost cutting this pattern out with my cricut. I swear I am doing the exact same thing you are doing with the changing cut to draw, but I end up with three drawings on top of each other and three cuts on top of each other. I am just going to have to go to hand cutting before I lose my cool. Maybe another day it will make sense.
Hi Susan! I'm sorry you're having trouble! You can always go to the link above to see a more detailed tutorial :)
Jennifer Maker where is a more detailed tutorial?
My daughter is a RT too. She is going to San Diego next week to work. Thank you for this
Please, Claudia, pass on our best wishes and gratitude to your daughter! We all owe her so much! 😍
Have been watching tutorials for several days. Found one I thought was the best, until I saw yours!! Thank you for sharing!!!
YAY! Happy to help! ❤️
yes please the n95 covers we have very few left in BC!
I hope you are able to get more soon, or I encourage you to gather a group and start crafting. ❤️

I have been making your mask for a couple months. Everyone loves them.
YAY! SO glad!
WONDERFULLY CONSTRUCTED... I'VE GOT MY MACHINE OUT NOW AND FOLLOWING YOUR INSTRUCTIONS! THANKS SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SHOW US HOW TO MAKE THESE MUCH NEEDED MASKS FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS. STAY SAFE AND BE BLESSED!
Thank you for taking the time to let me know the tutorial is useful! You stay safe, also! 😍
I am having a heck of a time getting to any pdf file for this pattern. Honestly, there are so many ads to get through, I can't find the pattern. So frustrating.
I haven't been able to get to the pattern either.
Click on link above. Scroll down to just after supply list before the step by step instruction pictures. There is a small link in blue type that says "free resource library" and "click here". Do the "click here" to get the password emailed to you. Once you have that you'll put in the password and be directed to a different page.

@@JenniferMaker Thank you!
I am trying to make masks for a friend who is a nurse in a Seattle area hospital that has completely run out of protective gear.
Time to dust off the sewing machine!
True for a lot of us, isn't it, Juanita! 😄
Juanita Maldonado me too.
I had to last week
Two things I added: 1. on the top piece only, I hand pressed the seam to the right and top stitched it down. This makes it look much better AND adds a seal on the top layer at the seam . 2. I also took some 100% cotton batting and cut out 4 pieces with and sewed them like a mask piece. I turned it inside out and further over stuffed it with cotton face makeup remover pads. This created a "Ham" for pressing the front seams. I did this because I somehow lost my tailor's ham in my move here last summer. This actually is much better because it fits the shape of the mask piece. I believe in anything to streamline sewing. BTW thanks for the best directions ever.
Thank you for your information! 😍
Thank you Jennifer for your quick response. After close examination it assembled incorrectly. Remade another one and it fits my brother correctly. He is very happy with it thank you again.
YAY! For both you and your brother, Dianna! 😍
pretty bummed you have to give an email and get an ad in your face to get the pattern. Lots of ways to post a free pdf that don't require my data or ad revenue.
I gave my email for a endless loop of clicking for no pattern 😡
Please see the above for instructions on what to do! 😄
So sorry you're having trouble! After you click the yellow box that says, "Get the free design for this project", you should have been asked for your name and email. This is so I know where to send the link. You need to fill that in, and check the box that says, "Yes, I consent to receiving emails". (You will not get the email otherwise) You should have immediately received an email with the download link. Please check your junk/spam folders if you did not. There is a red box in the email that says, "Click here to download the mask pattern!" Click that box, and your download will start immediately. Check the Download file on your computer to find the files! 😄
You're complaining that someone else (the ad revenue)is paying her for the pattern you want that she spent a great deal of time and effort to research and create, then make a video to show you how to make it. If that's a problem then take the time and effort to do the research and put in the time to create the pattern yourself. I gave my email and look at the ads freely and willingly to support her for the time and effort that I don't have to put into creating all these awesome patterns that others are charging money for.
You mentioned using heavyweight t-shirt fabric. Is that fabric used for the pocket?
The T-shirt fabric is recommended by Cambridge University when you are making a mask without a filter. One layer would be T-shirt and one layer would be cotton. Otherwise, you wouldn't need it, and would use just cotton fabric! Thanks for clarifying that! 😄
@@JenniferMaker do you by chance have a link to that so I can share it with the other mask makers I know?
I made one and Love it. Made one for a friend to wear to the VA hosp., and the nurses loved the filter insert pocket !😇 Blessings
Yay! Hope your friend loves it! Thank you! ❤️
Hi , where did you bought the filter , I am trying to buy that too
I work in a grocery store and to be honest things are getting increasingly difficult for us. I've been making these for the past few days for my cashiers, service employees and family and friends. They are giving us a little ease of mind. Thank you!
You are welcome, Ginell, and a big thank you back to you and your employees for keeping us going! You and the truck drivers are truly unsung heroes right now, but we do appreciate and are grateful for each and every one of you! Stay well! 😍
I am getting lost on the attach part, it is going by so fast, I am snot sure what is happening. I've watched it many times.
Please feel free to take a look at the written directions on the blog as well here: jennifermaker.com/face-mask-patterns-cricut/
Jennifer Maker even the written instructions don’t explain that part. I can’t find a tutorial talking about pre-existing patterns and attaching seam allowance lines.
Do you attach all draw and cut line pieces except the filter?
And what is it that you do at the end of that section that makes the back dark green layer disappear? Are you just deleting it?
I'm having trouble, my inner mask is smaller than the large outer masks
Select the inner black line and change to a draw instead of a cut. The select the draw line and the piece it’s on top of and select attach so that the machine knows to draw the line for seam allowance. If it seems to complicated you can always remove the black line and chalk it on yourself as she shows in the hand cut version.
Hope that helps :)
That's where I'm getting lose as well. When I change to draw and try to attach I still have 3pc
My stencils are so small, when my Cricut makes cuts /draws its tiny. I’ve followed the tutorial but I can’t figure out what’s wrong 😢
Open up the PDF and make sure you have it sized correctly in Design Space before cutting. Or, if you are making multiple masks, you can save time cutting them by hand using the PDF pattern. :)
I stumbled across your video/channel this evening and..... omg I’m SO GRATEFUL I found you!!!! Awesome videos, tutorials & creations.
You are so welcome!
thank you Jennifer for giving us a craft to do that not only we can enjoy making by that we can make a difference in the times we are living. Being a healthcare worker I understand the necessity of having the needed PPE but if we don't then at least we have something that can have a slyer of protection.
Absolutely! Thank you!
Also, I think it's really important to mention that the mask pieces need to be mirrored!
It is mentioned!😃
Good thing I saw this.
I didn't hear it being mentioned
Jennifer please, please send me an alert as to when Cricut access will have the next mystery box to order I keep missing it... thank you, Christina
Here is where you sign up for the notifications, Christina! 😃

This pattern was so easy to follow. Use elastic on some and bias tape on others. The nose guard was also easy to add!
Thank you, Amanda! What a great idea to use elastic on some and tape on others! Then you have a choice for the day! 😍
Thank you for including instructions on making the mask by hand. I don't have a sewing machine and would like to be able to make as many as I can to share with my friends and coworkers but most importantly need to make one for my husband.
You're very welcome! I'm glad I was able to help you out!
Very annoyed and just getting started! I've had to replay the video more than I can count just to see the draw/attached part. WAYYYYY TOO FAST, SLOW DOWN.
You can slow the video down by clicking the image that looks like a little gear. So try that, or I have written instructions on my blog here: jennifermaker.com/face-mask-patterns-cricut/
Jennifer Maker the written instructions say even less a out the grouping steps.
Did you figure it out I'm having problems with that as well
Candea Guyton I haven’t. I just keep checking back hoping for a reply with the answers.
@@dobieclose3731 Sooooo confused also, its entirely too fast. I love it though just wish it was simpler with the draw and attach. Thanks for trying.
Thanks for the pattern and also the explanation as to how and why you developed the pattern and suggested filter material. Knowing that some expertise and thought was put into the pattern makes it something that I will try making for my family and friends. Take care. Stay safe!
You're very welcome, Jane! You and yours take care, also! 😍
You make it look so easy. I have never been into sewing, but I am gonna give it a try since my daughter is a nurse.
Good for you for being willing to give it a try, Jeneta! Or, we are coming out with a no-sew version shortly! You could wait for that! And please send our gratitude to your daughter for her work during these trying times! 😍
😱 you replied. I watch some of your tutorials for hours. I often refer you in some of my Facebook groups. You’re awesome.
This is so helpful for a visual learner like me! My sister is an epidemiologist at a hospital that is having to reuse PPE that is meant to be disposable, including masks. So I'm gonna sew her some of these! Thanks so much! :)
You're so welcome! Please thank your sister for her service during this time!
Jennifer Maker Will do! As a quick follow-up, do you know if you can iron the zigzagged air filter material in order to make it easier to sew and shape? For the first time ever, Google is not providing any answers.
Love watching her videos. Thank you for showing us how to make a mask.
Thanks for watching!
I love your videos! You make crafting so much easier! Thank you for all the hard work and time you put into your videos! Your videos made me pursue crafting as a hobby!
Thank you so much!
I feel like I am capable of making anything after watching your wonderful tutorials! Thank you for sharing!
Awesome, DeSahaie! That is always my intent!
This takes the place of the elastic >>>>>>I have a wonderful idea to share here.........You might not have lycra, but I had a lots of left over pieces, so I cut stretchy strips and was knotting them to make ties to sort out my lace, fabric, craft things and more to keep from using rubber bands that decay....... I noticed that when I tied the knots that the lycra rolls up very pretty and is very soft and real stretchy.......my friend used one in her mask, since JoAnn's was out of elastic........and it works better and is lots more comfortable and lasting........I ordered lycra online a long time ago......I would say a grey or white is best. I hope this helps some of you out there giving so much of yourselves during this crisis.......(Also you can cut the strips with a rotary cutter).
That's a fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing!
@@JenniferMaker -- actually it cost lots less, and I have tried about 7 kinds of lycra, different prints, colors and whatever and all but one rolls up in on itself making a very neat pretty cord looking roll........I had only one piece that did not roll up on itself to make that cute little tight roll.......my friend got lycra at JoAnn's for around 7.00 a yard, enough to make hundreds and hundreds of the elastic looking rolls......I hope this helps someone that is working frantically to help nursing homes and businesses.......
I love how detailed your videos are!
Thank you! ❤️
Such a good idea and a very informative video. I don't subscribe to many people on You Tube but I enjoy you. You are genuine and the real deal. Many are out trying to make a buck in these trying times but you are out on social media helping to show us how we can help our communities. Bless you, Jennifer!
Karin, thank you so much for your kind words and support!
Just found your channel while searching for face mask patterns. This is the best pattern/ instructions yet! Thank you!
Thank you so much! 🥰
Thank YOU! I have already completed two and will continue making more to donate. Seriously wish I had listened to my 7th grade Home EC teacher and invested in a good pressing ham!
Hi Alaine! Thanks for your help! Using a roll of paper towels as a pressing ham might help in a pinch!
Glad some are able to make these masks. Way above my skill and patience levels. 😊
What about a mask that you don't have to sew, but just cut out, Jennifer? We have a pattern for one of those here: 😍

Thank you💜💓😇 Many blessings to you and family. Stay healthy and well. Your sew room is everything! 😍😍💞
Oh, thank you so much, Amber Kay! Same to you and yours! 😍
Well Thank you again!! On Sunday I was looking for a face mask for my baby girl and I, but they are extremely expensive, poor quality and didn't fit well, but now I am gonna make my own thank you to Mrs. Jennifer 😘 you made everything look so easy!!! 🤗
Glad I could help!
These are wonderful, thank you for sharing and giving of your time to take care of our front line health care workers. You know, this makes me think about WWII and how the home front did whatever was necessary to take care of the front line!
World War II was a little before my time 😂, but I hope I would have been able to help out then, too! We all worked together then to defeat a foe, and we can work together now! 😄
Jennifer Maker well before my time as well...but still, thank you for your self sacrifice in making the masks!
Me and my mom are going to make these for our family that is running errands for everyone else... If my mom were to make me model the face mask on line for her I would look as happy and your daugther did in your video. We cracked up because she looked so serious. Probably because we could not see her big smile Thank You so much for this tutorial, if I get good I will keep making as many as I can. God Bless Everyone...
Yes, Victoria, that was the reason!😉 Thank you for making the masks! 🥰
Thank you so much for this tutorial; I volunteered to make face masks for our local hospital and this is getting me started with the correct info.
Awe...thank you for watching and sewing masks for your local hospital! You are AMAZING for that! Happy sewing and stay safe!
@@JenniferMaker S nice to hear from you. I wanted to let you know that (like toilet paper) there is a run on the elastic and it's no where to be found, so I am glad your tutorial called for the ribbon ties. thanks!
Thank you so much! Finally a way to construct the pocket for the filter that is simple to sew and, to insert! I made a few revisions of my own and have finally gotten the mask I was looking for!
Fantastic!
