DIY Face Fitted Mask Tutorials with Free Pattern

April 10, 2020

Hi All! Thank you for visiting my blog!

I've posted Handmade Mask Tutorials recently. I hope it was helpful. Some of my friends showed their handmade masks made by following my tutorials! Their masks were super cute!!

This time, I'm sharing different style of mask. I think you've noticed there are two types of fabric masks basically. One is pleated one. The other fits face like a cup. Actually I don't know how it's called...So I call it Face fitted mask for now...

It has space inside of mask. So your lips are not touching a mask. And even without nose wire, I don't have a problem of my glasses fogging up!

It's super easy to sew. But you got cut fabrics out by pattern. That's it.

Try either one or both! ( Pleats mask, Fit mask) I use both types.
If you don't have a sewing machine, You can sew by hand.

Fit Mask Pattern

I wrote both centimeters and inches. Before using this patterns, Please make sure measurement is in actual size.
*These patterns includes seams ( 3/8 inches)

PDF PATTERN For Men

Materials you need...
Approximately 2 pieces of 9" x 7" (12" x 7" for men's size) Fabric (Cotton)
( Outside and Inside or Both same fabric)
2 pieces of approximately 7"-7.5" Elastic ( For men's mask, 8- 8.5" elastic)

Before you start
( you can skip this process)
Soak the cloth in water, lightly wring out the water and iron. (It will dry soon.)
*This process prevents the fabric from shrinking during washing.
*If you're making masks for yourself or families and using fabrics from used clothing, it's already washed several times before. So you don't need this process.

Step 1

Cut four of pattern out of cotton (cut 2 together, twice)
*In this tutorials, I used same fabrics for outer layer and inner layer.

Step 2

Match two pieces of cotton right sides together, and sew the outer curve using 3/8” seam allowance. Repeat with remaining two pieces.

Step 3

Open pieces and press both seam allowances to the right.
*It's easy if you pull the fabric with other hand while ironing.

Step 4

Now you have 2 pieces of a outside panel and an inside panel.
Put together right side inside. Take elastics and place on the side. (Have 1/2 inches space inside from the upper and bottom line edge)

Step 5

Pin and sew around the exterior of the mask, leaving a small opening at the bottom of the mask between the center front seam and corner.
Sew 2-3 times on elastic edge. But be careful not to sew other part of elastic together...
