Step 1​: CUT OUT THE PATTERN AND FABRIC 
Cut out a size Large or XL on the face mask paper pattern. Then fold fabric 
in half, with the right sides together. Pin the paper pattern to the fabric. 
Cut out on the marked lines. Then repeat with the other pattern piece.  
 
Step 2​: STITCH TOGETHER 
Remove the paper pattern, but leave the fabric pieces together.  
 
Stitch the pieces together along the curved seam with a ⅜ inch seam 
allowance. 
 
Then trim the seam allowances. You can also cut triangles into the curve to 
allow it to lay better on your face. ​Important: Do not cut into the seam. 
Repeat with the lining fabric.  
 
Then press the allowances open.  

Optional Step:​ TOPSTITCH THE CENTRE SEAM 


Stitch to each side of the centre seam on all pieces (outer mask, lining and 
filter) spaced 2 mm (a scant (⅛") next to the pressed open seam 
allowances. This will make the seam lie flat. 
 
Step 3​: DOUBLE THE MASK 
Match up the inside and outside pieces of the mask together, making sure 
that the center seam is matched up. Pin the upper edge of the mask 
together. Stitch with a ⅜ inch seam allowance. 
 
Repeat with the bottom edge of the mask.  
 
Turn the mask right side out, (pretty side out) and press the upper and 
lower edges flat.  

 
Step 4​: TOPSTITCH 
Stitch ⅛ to ¼ inch away from the upper edge of the mask, from one side to 
another. 
 
Step 5​: CONSTRUCT A CASING FOR THE ELASTIC 
On the sides of the mask, fold the top and bottom edges down ⅜ inch. 
Press. 
 
Then fold the side edge ¼ inch and then fold again ½ inch. Press. Stitch 
along the outside edge of this fold you just made. 
 
Step 6​: INSERT THE ELASTIC 
Cut the elastic into two equal pieces. (about 7 inches should work) Use a 
safety pin to insert the elastic through the side casings. To do this, attach a 
safety pin to each side of the elastic. Attach safety pin to the mask and use 
the other to feed the elastic though. Overlap the ends for a proper fit and 
stitch to secure.
