Master class on making a reusable mask

I suggest sewing a simple reusable mask.
We will need: thick cotton fabric (calico, poplin, satin, etc.) size 30*19 cm. And an elastic band 40 cm long.

How to sew a reusable mask

1. Cut an even rectangle measuring 19 by 30 cm. The elastic must be cut into two pieces 20 cm long. (Depending on the desired size, the length of the elastic can be from 18 to 21 cm).


2. At the short edges of the rectangle, iron seam allowances of 0.7 - 1 cm, and fold the workpiece in half, with allowances inward.

3. Alternately form two folds approximately 1 cm deep. Iron on both sides and leave until completely cool. If the folds are ironed well, it will be easier to work with them in the future.


4. We open our workpiece and apply elastic bands to the front side: one end of the elastic band to the middle of the workpiece, the other to the edge.


5. Close the workpiece with the front side inward and sew a line, do not straighten the folds. At the beginning and at the end of the line (we have elastic bands there), we make sure to make fastenings.

6. On the second side we also apply elastic bands and sew a stitch.


7. Turn our workpiece right side out and check whether the elastic holds well.


8.We sew a line along the bottom edge, matching the allowances. Let's iron it again.

9. Our mask is ready.

Wear your mask with pleasure and stay healthy.
