Still needing some facemasks?... I do!
Showing you the precut pieces I have already for me to make a mask with each outfit. The linings are 200 count muslin to be soft against the face. The top two pieces could either be the actual outfit fabric or if needed, they could be the lining. The second row is the filter pocket if you like one. I use 4 of these and sew the center seam first of two pair, sew them together on the sides rightside together and flip. Then stitch all around the pocket close to the edge. Lay that on the top pieces that have been sewn together in the middle seam. Sew the front long edge of the bottom row pieces, by turning it under quarter inch, and topstitching. Lay those to pieces on top of the filter pocket which is on top of the center of the facemask front right side up. pin all around the edge .... sew close to the edge all the way around and then flip.... lay your ear elastics on the edge of the sides and have the elastics in a loop as they will go around your ears. Fold the sides over and top stitch down the foldover so it goes through the elastic. As you can see what I use now already has the adjusters on. If you foldover a little further in you can have room to actually put a cord through and have a hanger for around your neck through the extra casing.
I am tired of them, but I wear them everyday when I am not at home and I DONOT take them off in public to blow my nose ewwww germs... cough....ewwww germs... PEOPLE remember what the facemasks are for... anyway.
I find that if I put both elastic at the ears and a nose insert, plus a neck hanger, I can wear the mask comfortably without taking it off all day.. The neck hanger, tightener will keep the mask on my face correctly if for some reason the elastics are bothering my ears. I have both kinds of elastics.. the tiny lightweight cord with adjusters and some with the 3 inch loop. Next to the ear elastic casings, I have a second casing for the neck hanger. If you want one I do sell them on etsy so you can copy my style... The filter pocket is double 200ct muslin. Soft against the face but makes the mask 3 layers without adding a filter.
