The mask can even be made from kitchen paper towels. But now we will consider a pattern for sewing a mask from a fabric. I want to note that the best material to take is cotton. It is more environmentally friendly, pleasant to the skin of the face. There is one more reason. For quick disinfection, such a mask can simply be ironed with a hot iron with or without steam. The fabric will not melt from this, the temperature of the iron can be maximum.

What fabric to sew the mask from is preferable

Natural fabrics, namely cotton or linen will come in handy. If the fabric is very thin, then inside you can lay additional bandages or gauze in several layers, four layers are desirable. Microfiber also works. It should be added that cotton cannot filter well, like some non-woven materials, such as sintepon. Therefore, it is desirable to add an inner layer or to allow the insertion of a replaceable filter, for example, even from several layers of ordinary kitchen paper towels. After use, the product must be washed, having previously taken out and discarded the filter, and before putting on a new one.

Dense fibrous materials are best filtered in which the fibers are randomly arranged, such as those found in HEPA filters.

There are also a lot of mask patterns, here we will probably consider one. She is also the closest to me. Medical with accordion folds is simpler, but it seems that it is of less use because unfiltered air will enter through the holes from above. This also takes into account the bends at the wings of the nose.

This is a pattern of half the mask, that is, two such parts will be needed for the outer surface, as well as two of the same or slightly shortened parts for the lining.

Pattern of a protective mask from fabric on the face

As can be seen from the pattern, the narrow part goes to the ears, the curved - to the face. It should repeat the profile bends. Above right is the place for the "snobel", bottom - for the chin.

From experience I want to say that the side that goes to the ears does not need to be made too wide, otherwise it will come together and thus let air through. I made this distance equal to the distance between the beginning and the end of the base of the ears, and I have about 7 cm. On the pattern, I had 9 centimeters. Do not forget the seam allowances!

For this part, the “muzzle” will be attached behind the ears

It’s good if you have an overlock or just a sewing machine. But you can sew on hands, too, is not so difficult and long.

How to sew a mask from a coronavirus?

The lining and the main fabric are first stitched to each other along the rounded part of the pattern. At the edges, it is better to make serifs with scissors (carefully, do not cut the seam!), Iron the seam. You can flash along the seam from two sides so that the edges are laid on opposite sides of the seam. But this is optional.

Outer and lining fabric

Then the lining must be placed in the main part with the sides facing inward, stitching around the edges. Then turn to the front side. To straighten, iron. Only the edges where the elastic or ties should be attached will remain unprocessed.

Sew parts together

Lining side

Then they do it differently. Some people like a mask that hangs on their ears, someone bothers it with an elastic band, they sew on ties or elastic bands too, but they are long, held on the back of the head. It is individual, as it is convenient for anyone.

We make a drawstring, we insert an elastic band

Maximum fit to face

How to achieve maximum fit from above? This is usually a small nose among Asians, but with us it can be! To the right and left of the nose bridge, gaps are obtained. What to do?

Take the wire, sew it on top between the outer and lining details. For washing, you can get it. When using it, you can correct it, make a bend.

Nina said she chose a thin wire for this purpose. I think she used it to create ="://dolgoli. ru/tsvetyi-iz-tkani-dlya-broshey-master-klass-v-kartinkah/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">artificial flowers made of fabric. She put the wire in such a ribbon, as in the photo.

Coil wire

As a result, the nose took on a shape. Rather, a place for him. This is what another mask looks like.

Ready product

What a mask!

Nina tried different colors and materials, but they are usually quite dense. Even the ties are different, you can use the usual linen gum, you can round, as can be seen below.

She sewed others, both male and female.

The protective mask I sewn

From the very beginning, I wanted to avoid rough seams, so for the mask I chose a thin cotton fabric of orange color. Oh, what a home it was. Initially, there was an idea not to stitch and twist, but to process with an overlock. But then I didn’t really like the look of the product, I decided to nevertheless fold the edges once and flash it.

What have I done here? I have a lining of the same fabric as the face. But she's a little shorter. For what? There you can insert an additional filter. For this, for example, baby wet wipes or wet toilet paper are suitable. They must, of course, be dried first.

There is an option to lay an additional layer immediately when sewing. For my ears I took a thin rubber band. The length is selected after fitting, immediately visible. I have such small "ears" here.

A rather thick wire is inserted inside. I used it to bend the branches of my citrus fruits so that they would not look up, but grow beautifully to the sides. She twisted in a spiral and bent.

Inside

And here I am, at night, after 12 hours. Sorry for the look. I sit at home mainly, I work at home, it’s optional to put on my head in order. But the mask sits perfectly. :)

My mask is protective, fitting
