Master class on sewing a simple reusable anatomical mask

Necessary:

Thick fabric for the outer part (for example, black denim), fabric for the lining inside (black satin with a silver pattern) and elastic 24 - 28 cm, depending on the desired size.
1. In accordance with the drawing, we build a pattern and cut it out.

2. Using the pattern without allowances (they are already included), we cut two mirror parts from denim and two from satin.

3. Place the two denim pieces right sides inward and sew a middle seam. Similarly, we fold and lay the middle seam on the satin (internal) parts.

4. Be sure to lay out the middle seam on the outer (denim) part and sew up the seam allowances if you have thick fabric. If the fabric is soft, you may not need to adjust the seam allowances.

5. Cut the elastic bands into two parts. The smallest size is 12 cm, the largest is 14 cm. It is better to attach a denim piece and try on the elastic length you need.
6. We attach elastic bands to the short sections of the denim part with pins and sew them with securing stitches.

7.Place the satin side on the front side of the denim part and fasten the parts with pins starting from the middle seam so that it does not move.

8. We sew a stitch along the entire perimeter of the part, approximately 0.7 cm from the edge. Important: leave the short section between the elastic bands on one side unstitched (see photo).

9. Carefully turn the workpiece inside out through the unstitched area. The corners can be straightened with mild scissors or a thick knitting needle.

10. We tuck the allowances of the unstitched area inward, and along the front side we sew a line along short sections close to the edge. We also sew a line on the other side for symmetry.
