COVID-19 Mask Pattern

Modified from pattern by the Turban Project

What you will need:

  1. Cotton fabric – 9 inches X 6.5 inches (2 pieces). If you are using fabric with a design make sure to cut and sew it so the design lies horizontally (going across the face).
  2. Elastic – 7.5 inches. Either round or flat elastic is fine. If round kind tie a knot at both ends before sewing.

Directions:

  1. Cut the 2 pieces of fabric and the 2 pieces of elastic using the pattern measurements.    
  2. Place the fabric right sides together and pin the elastic in place.
  3. Sew around all four sides. Double sew over the elastic for strength. Leave a small opening along one length to turn the mask right side out.
  4. Create 3 folds on each side of the mask and pin in place. Sew all the way around the mask to secure folds and close the opening. ALL DONE.

Special Notes:

  1. For this mask cotton fabric was used for the outside and a soft thin flannel for the inside. The flannel is softer on the face especially if worn for extended periods of time. If flannel is not available cotton fabric can be used for both pieces to add an additional layer of protection.
  2. The mask can also be made using one piece of cotton fabric if supplies are limited.

Modifications:

  1. To make a child version of the mask change the pattern length measurement to 7.5 inches.
  2. If you do not have elastic you can use fabric ties attached to the sides of the mask instead.
