Thanks so much for this video! I am an ED RN and have been trying to make masks since the Covid 19 pandemic started. I am really not a sewer so I was looking for a pattern that was easy to do and your is absolutely the best on the web in my opinion. Your instructional demo was so easy to follow along with that I was not not intimidated to try. I just finished the first on except for the wire which I will do later and love the fit! I am cutting out the next one now! Again, THANKS from the front line!!!!
You are so welcome! I love hearing that you are a new sewer and you were able to make this mask and you found the instruction easy to follow. You made my day just hearing this and even more special that I was able to help someone on the front line. Thank you so much! I also just purchase these nose bridge and they do work better and you don't have to use the heat and bond. just put the inside and sew in place. amzn.to/3ecP3W4 they can be placed outside the mask as well. Stay Safe and Healthy
Excellent tutorial! I've made over 100 masks of another style and just happened on your video today. I'm actually looking forward to making them again and the nose wire encased is brilliant! As a reminder, when you print the pattern be SURE your printer is set to "actual size" not "fit to page" as the pattern will not be the correct size. Two comments for beginners - be careful not to sew over your pins - it can break your needle! It's good practice to put your pins up and down (perpendicular to the fabric) rather than the same direction you are sewing. If you can find Batik fabric - it has a much tighter weave than regular quilting cotton. Again, what a great tutorial and the options are so helpful! Many thanks and stay safe!
I have made several different patterns for masks, but this one is the best! It fits well, your instructions are easy to follow, and the masks are very well made. I found the mask holds up so well that I didn't have to put in the nose piece at all. I made about 30 in the last few days and everyone loves them!
You are so welcome! So happy to hear you like my pattern and it was easy to follow along. I appreciate you taking the time to leave me an awesome feedback. Thank You! 🤗
I am new to your channel was searching for a tutorial to help me follow the mask pattern that I purchased from another RUclipsr and stumbled across your video. I seen over 20 RUclips mask demonstrations and this video for me beats them all. Your video is clearly detailed, understood, simplistic, and free. The other video seems so complicated , some want money, tutorials given too fast to be understood, or too lengthy where your no longer interested. I was so desperate I paid the few bucks for my pattern. You instructions gave me enough time to make my mask along with you. Not to mention your video was short and to the point. I am truly impressed. You are the best by far. A big thank you. I am now a new follower. I will watch you channel keep the videos coming. Again thank you!
Wow! Thank You so much. I appreciate your great review . I am so happy to hear it was simple and easy to follow along. I try hard not add any extra stuff and shorten the video as best as possible. I also don't feel it necessary to charge people if we can profit off the advertisement from our video. Your comment has made me more motivated to continue what I have been doing. Thank You.
Same for me. Either the demonstrators weren't thorough with their tutorial, especially for a beginner like myself, or it just didn't make sense and I didn't like the finished product. This one by far beats at least the 10 or so I've looked at and tried. Thanks for the great tutorial...
Nicely done to tutorial. Maybe a little too so much stitching through the fabric in front. Holes are holes. Would be nice to see the finished product put on a face to see how it fits and covers.
This is by far the most simplest mask pattern with the nose wire and filter pocket ever!!! Thank you for your patience in explaining and demonstrating. Blessings to you and yours!!!
This pattern and tutorial is excellent. I am a 76 year old lady who has been looking for a pattern where I won't get confused.... for 6 month and I kept going until I found you, Congratulations to you because you are very precise and I can follow your steps. It is wonderful to find one finally that I can follow. Thank you so much and stay safe yourself, were you a teacher? I'm sure you will receive a lot of positive comments.
You are so welcome! Happy you found my tutorial and pattern. Wow! 6 months is a lot. Glad you kept looking and your found my video and they were easy to follow along. No, I was never a teacher. Thank you for such a kind compliment. Not sure if you seen this video ruclips.net/video/3n_tonKgRMo/видео.html its an update of this video
I’ve made a bunch of mask for my family. I’m always trying to get better and make a better one. But I had to comment on this. I wanna thank u for taking the time to show what u can use!! I think u did a wonderful job and just the explaining of items u can use us a blessing. Thank u so much and God bless and stay safe everybody
Your welcome! I always try to save money and recycle. For this video was hoping people did not have to go out and buy anything if they didn't have too. Thank You so much for your beautiful comment, it really meant a lot.
This is the best tutorial I've seen in weeks. I admit that I'm a 54yo newbie eager to learn on how to sew. I bought a low end sewing machine last week and was only able to get some fabrics last monday when the stores finally opened after 9 weeks of lockdown. Up to today, I've wasted over a yard of fabric due to bad patterns out there (there was one pattern that was supposed to be an adult size and the finished mask would be the perfect fit for your doll, that's how small it ended up!). I've found the same pattern as yours, but the tutorials were terrible... I was able to cut and prep 8 masks today but every tutorial weren't enough detailed for the assembly and really thought my sewing journey was over; so I decided to look again and found you! You are my hero and can't thank you enough for your video. Best regards.
Your Welcome! I am so sorry to hear You had to waste all that material and your time. I am happy to hear you found my pattern and tutorial before you threw in the towel. Most of my tutorial are geared toward the beginner as I remember when I started out and had a hard time. I always wondering if I shared too much info or not enough but the response on this video has been amazing and I appreciate you all for commenting and letting me know. Thank You so much for your kind words. It means a lot to me.
Just made 3 masks yesterday and must say so easy to do. One thing I changed though was I top stitched first before stitching the nose wire and it was much easier. Many thanks
Wow, i too have tried at least 15 or more an this is the best Tutorial an it look exactly like hers. I wanted a pattern that i could easily use a guide since i don't have a sewing machine. I did mines by hand.
Just wanted to thank you. A clear, concise, no nonense, straightforward explanation of how to make a mask! On top of which, it's user friendly, options provided, and demo given. Couldn't think of a single question by the end. You deserve a Gold 🌟 love and Stay Safe, Melbourne, 🇦🇺
You're very welcome! Thank You so much for your kind words. I just recently did an update on this pattern and added more sizes. If you like to check that video out it is here. ruclips.net/video/3n_tonKgRMo/видео.html
Thank you! I love that you cut out all the unnecessary steps and just "got it done". I need to make a bunch of these for my senior's centre and this is the method/pattern I'll be using.
Your video is excellent. You take your time to explain instructions and to give options. There is no guessing on any of the details. I am going to dust off my sewing machine and get started on making masks. Thank you for the inspiration. I am a health care worker (respiratory therapist) and am tired from working so many shifts but on my day off I will be making masks and scrub hats. God bless and take care everyone. Let’s take care of each other. 💗😘 I forgot one recommendation: do not use straight pins because they create holes in the mask that the virus can get through. Use clips instead. 💕
Wow! Thank You so much for your kinds word. Glad to hear you will give this mask a try. Thank you so much for the work you do Because of you, we live in a happier, healthier world. Please stay safe and healthy.
Your tutorial video was the best I have ever seen. I watched it twice and then made two masks straight through. Thank you so much for doing this. Now I am going to sew for the rest of my family. You have made such a difference. Be safe.
I’m repeating the others when I say, BEST tutorial on the Olson Mask. I love your no nonsense style. Can tell you are a professional seamstress (I date myself, I think the correct word is “sewist”). Thank you for sharing. Subbed.
I've been sewing the Olson design, this one looks very similar in fit but much quicker and much less faffing around. I'm trying your mask tomorrow. Thanks for the video it's one of the best I've seen, getting straight to the point and cutting out the unnecessary bits is great! It's going to speed things up greatly. Thank you!
Mrs. Sew With Me. Thank you for your honest and most of all your Godly love. Your are amazing and a true blessing from God. I was overwhelmed with happy tears running down my face when you began to speak. Thank you for your free tutorial. Im now following you and wish only greatness for you and you family. Again thank you.
I've watched a LOT of videos but yours really puts everything together nicely. I really like using the face and cheek together -- cuts down on cutting and sewing time. Thank you for posting this.
Thank you so much for sharing your genius pattern! I just learned how to sew a couple weeks ago and have been trying to make all sorts of masks. This is the best by far! Easy to follow and I love your short cuts!
Thank you so much. I'm a new at sewing. This was a very easy mask to make. The potential to switch out the elastic is what drew me to this mask. It fits me great.
As a novice in sewing, this pattern by far is the best & easiest . I have one other favorites from the 9 i have tried. Ear our we still on the works for me, but i have options ther. Thank you ever so mush. In 2 days I shipped out 12 masks with this patty
Your welcome! I am happy to hear I was able to make it easy for you to make. This was my made goal for making this mask is shipping to family and friend out of town and being uncertain if the mask would fit. I would end up making a few different sizes till I created this pattern now Im able to just send them some extra elastic and they can double tie the elastic to the size they need or hand sew it closed. happy Stitching Lisa
Hello from Cleveland, Ohio!! Thank you for this video! I just finished my first mask, by following along with your video. I’m a beginner at sewing, so I was nervous the whole time that it wouldn’t turn out right. But even with some stitching faux pas (uneven seams), it turned out great, and it fits nicely! I already received a request for 2 more from my best friend and her hubby in Georgia. 😳😁 God bless you!!
I'm most impressed with your tutorial video--the best!! I've watched soooo many videos trying to find one that I'm comfortable with and the most effective design--you've got it!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! God bless you, be safe and good health!!
I wish I could add a picture. It started out as a volunteer project with Olson masks. My former boss, and now friend, helped me make my first masks. So, I probably wouldn't do as well as I do if I hadn't had her guidance, but that said, I LOVE YOUR PATTERN! It is the only one I use now. You can have a filter or not, you can have a nose wire or not and it's so easy to add to it. I was just making masks for my son's non-for-profit, and I wanted to stop and thank you for all you do and your amazing teaching skills!
Your Welcome! so happy to hear you like the pattern. I wish You tube would give you the option to add pictures. If you like you can tag me @ lelesdesigns1 in your photo on Instagram.
I've looked at other videos and tried a few others but this is my favorite! Thank you so much for the pattern, I've lost count of how many times I've used it.
My relatives are very happy knowing they now have masks they can wash. Outstanding video. My mother in law would have been proud of my first sewing adventure
Thank you for the video. It is so easy to follow. I havent sewn in years except for mending. After watching this video I have made 3 cloth masks today. excellent.
Thank you sooooo much for this tutorial and pattern, Lele!! I’ve tried so many other patterns and not happy with results. Yours is the simplest and easiest one to make. I’ve already made five to send to my son and his wife. 💕👍
Thank you for the FREE pattern! I am a beginner, and I was able to make a mask with the filter pocket and nose support on my very first try. My masks are looking good! You are the best.
Thank you ever so much for your easy to follow video and free pattern. I have to wear a mask for work and was using disposable ones. After a while disposables can become too costly. I have a sewing machine and it’s been collecting dust. I watched your video from beginning to end and felt encouraged that I could do it. When I completed the mask it looked and felt great on. Your mask pattern was a perfect fit that I didn’t need to insert the wire and my glasses didn’t fog up. Thank you again.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your Welcome! So Happy to hear you dusted off the machine and jumped right into this pattern and it fit perfectly. That's awesome it didn't fog up your glasses. Thank you so much for your kind words.
Thank you so much for sharing your tutorial and patterns. It made making this mask so easy with your direction. I am a dialysis nurse and get lots of comments on your masks that I have made for my fellow nurses. I will be faithfully following your site. You make things so easy to tackle. Thank you again!!!!!
Thanks for a great video and pattern!!! I made this last night and it was easy and quick. I made over 40 of the pleated style masks and wish I had found your video sooner because your mask is easier and more comfortable. I also bought the mini iron from your link. :-)
Thank you so much for this. Been looking for an easier way to do the Olson style mask and this is great!! Only two pieces instead of six!!! Thank you thank you!!
Thank you so much for your videos and for sharing your patterns with us! I was looking for a project for my neurodivergent daughter to help her to continue to work on her motor skills and this is somethings she does seem interested in and is willing to try. She has a little sewing machine and also a love for dolls which she collects. Hopefully she'll love doing some of the things you do. I for one am looking forward to using your videos to try to do some projects myself.
Ive been looking everywhere for this tutorial, something that me and my family could actually use, i tested it out and it works, very easy to follow and the stuff isnt hard to get, i will leave a like so more people can see this and im sharing this tysm! Stay safe everyone!
Thank You so much! I just posted another video today with this same pattern but I included a XL size and child size pattern also a couple of new items I use for supplies. ruclips.net/video/3n_tonKgRMo/видео.html
This pattern should work. just make the elastic 4"-5" If it don't you might try the child size and add more elastic. that pattern is here ruclips.net/video/3n_tonKgRMo/видео.html
Thank you for the video , patterns and links! I tried 10 different types of masks- I believe yours are by far the best! Well done on the video- bought several items from your links- The Iron is awesome! Thanks again
You are so welcome! So happy to hear this was helpful. Thank You so much for purchasing though my link. I agree that iron is awesome. have fun stitching this out. You will be happy with the results.
I love your pattern! I have been making many masks and using various patterns, but this is my favorite! It is well designed and has a clean finish! I did subscribe. Thank you, again!
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial!! It's easy to follow and well-explained. I just finished making my own mask with the hand stitching technique. Haha it took me almost 4 hours sewing by hand but I love the results!!!💕☺️✨
I have made a few masks - all different patterns. I saw your video so thought I would give it a try. Glad I did, because this is by far the BEST pattern I have used. The pattern is great and your video is very very easy to follow. The mask fits me perfectly and I like the fact that there is a place for a filter too. I liked your tip for covering the wire also - so easy to do. Very very good pattern and video. Thank you for sharing. I will most definitely be using this pattern from now on.
Hello! I have been watching numerous videos on Mask making and found your video the very best. Your instructions and patterns were exacting and left nothing for error. Thank you very much. Now I can make your masks for my daughter who is a doctor in another state. I will also be using the N95 filter in the pocket for her to change out daily, I appreciate your sharing your knowledge and pattern.
You are so welcome! I am so happy to hear u did not run into any error and the tutorial was easy to follow. Made my day to hear a doctor will be wearing a mask I made the pattern for. Thank You for your beautiful comment.
Your tutorial is great. Thank you for easy access to the pattern. This style is the best fit for me and my family members. I think even beginners can successfully follow your tutorial.
You are the best!! I have watched so many videos and made tons of masks. Your mask is excellent and your description, delivery, and explanation are the best I have seen! You are a pleasure to watch! Your voice is also so calming. Thank you
Love this pattern. Unfortunately ive tried at least 15 or more an this is the Best, fits really well to my face an i hand sewn mine. Thanks for sharing!!👍😀
I can't thank you enough for your time and patience showing how to make this perfect mask. I love the nice open filter pocket and the way you made it so easy to make! Great instructions. I am going to make it right now!
Great tutorial! Looks like one of the best and easy to follow. I like the idea of a removable filter. I tried making one with the filter inner facing in between the two layers and it was very bulky to turn inside out. I also like your nose wire idea. Thank you for the pattern! Stay well.
I happened across your channel looking for SIMPLE facemasks. I am a simplistic sewer, but feel with your video & instruction I SHOULD be able to do this. Bless you for the awesome video!!
Your instructions and pattern & options make for a well fitting, easy to make mask. Thanks, Lisa. I've made 2 and will be using this as my go-to mask, as it includes the filter pocket and nose guard as well.😷 Linda R., Naples FL
You are so welcome! I'm delighted to hear this is your go to mask. Not sure if you seen I just added a child size, XL and a XXL of this same pattern I also found some softer elastic and nose bridge that I talk about in this video ruclips.net/video/3n_tonKgRMo/видео.html
I love your face mask, was looking for a slightly easier way to insert nose piece and came up with the idea of inserting the nose piece before sewing round the mask. I enclose the wire in the 3 x 1inch of lining fabric, then before sewing around I use an edging foot, supplied with my Bernina sewing machine 54 years ago, I put the selvedges all together with centre of wire at the centre join and sew around as per your demonstration before turning the mask right side out. it speeds up everything quite a bit.
Thank you so much for your pattern and video. As soon as I viewed it and saw that you added the pattern I had to get to work right away. I am do not do a lot of sewing but your video got me motivated. I am a dialysis RN and have given some to my fellow nurses and they really enjoy them as do I. Thank you again for so willing to give part of yourself to us.
Glad it was helpful and motivated you to make theses mask. Thank You for your kind words. I recently posted a newer video which show 2 new supplies that might make it easier to make. I also added 2 more pattern pieces that includes an XL and Child size. The link to that video is here ruclips.net/video/3n_tonKgRMo/видео.html
I’ve made a few masks with different patterns yours is truly simple. I’m trying it today I’ll let you know how it turns out. Thank you for sharing. ( I also have that little iron it’s cute but durable).
Thank You so much! Yes, I'm not sure if it showed at the end I did state to do a top stitch but didn't show the sewing of it as the video was longer than I wanted it to be. I agree with you it helps keep it shape.
Thank you for the helpful video. I've been watching videos on how to do just the 👂 ear loops and how to see them on. Your the only person who had what I was looking for. And how to do it. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your informative and wonderful video! It is truly the BEST & certainly the MOST INFORMATIVE video I have seen and I have watched so many!!! I can not tell you how much I appreciate your video, your gentle voice, and your excellent teaching skills. I do not have a sewing machine - but I am excited to try and hand sew my family masks using your pattern and helpful instructions!!! Thank you soooooo very much!!! :))))
Your Welcome! So Happy to hear you like the video. Thank You for your sweet comment. It made my day. Yes, give it a try I a had a few lady say they hand sewed it and all worked out. Happy Stitching Lisa
I like how you modified The Olson Face Mask Pattern by eliminating the cheek pieces. I am going to try it this way. I make the original, but yours will be quicker as I am not cutting out extra pieces. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I had made masks for my children following your guidance a year ago… i am making more now… it is still not totally safe yet in my country & we still wear masks when we go out… your video is really helpful… thank you
Thanks for sharing. Happy to hear the pattern has been useful. Here in Arizona we are not restricted to wearing mask but in Oregon my son is having to wear them where ever they go.
best video around, so clear and easy to follow. the nose wire is so comfortable to wear. I am going to make some for my grandkids - I'll just cut the pattern smaller
Wonderful! So happy to hear this. For the child pattern I would suggest printing it at 75% if it is a child 3-6 yrs old and older I would say print it at 85%. for child older than 6yrs old
Thank you so much for a great tutorial and a great looking mask, which I’m going to try to make. The added bonus of the nose wire and pocket lifts this to another level. The explanations are simple and clear and easy to follow. Appreciate this and the free pattern 😀 this video is a keeper!
I have been trying at least 20 different facemasks and this one is by far my very favourite one. Your clear instructions were so good. I will be sharing your youtube with many of my friends. Thank you so much for this wonderful mask and clear instructions.
I have been searching for good, easy tutorial WITH a pattern I could download. This was perfect! Good job! I have already made two and planning to make more. thanks.!!!
Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial! I've tried many others and have not had nearly as much success as I do when I followed this video! My masks from your instructions have been turning out GREAT! :-)
My family and I are so excited to finely come across your training video, after watching countless of others that are good, but yours rang the bell; it has all the bells and whistles, plus easy to make. I gave you a thumbs up and subscribe to your channel. Thanks again... :)
Your patterns and instructions are so easy especially for a beginner like me! I did this pattern earlier and it was so easy to follow along with you. Thank you so much!
Love your tutorial! You probably have heard this, but I have one suggestion - people have suggested that the virus can travel through pinholes, and so many are using little clips instead of pins to hold fabric together. I don't know how big a risk pinholes really are, but thought I would pass it on. Thanks so much for your instruction!
I was undecided on weather I use pins or clips on this video. I decided on pin as that is all what people might have on hand and maybe they had hair clips. but I didn't want anyone to go out and buy something that might not be needed. I'm not sure of the risk of the pinholes too and after all the sewing machine needle is punching quite a few hole as you sew. Thank You so much for your kind words and letting others know as I am still up in the air on using clips or pins. Hopefully others will see your message and can decide what they like to use.
M Brack you would be right to be concerned if you were dealing with covid patients, but for wearing on public transport or to the shops, this mask, with a dry baby wipe or a paper towel in the filter pocket would be fine.
I enjoy your simple explanation and natural way of speaking. The only thing I have a problem with is the elastic stitching. I have to hand stitch. My Husqvarna would grab that little bit of elastic and pull into bobbin area and ruin it. Also, I made the regular size for myself and woman friends/family and we have to have 8" of elastic, and since handstitching it is a tiny overlap. I like the cotton tshirt - I leave the knot out at the bottom, it keeps it from bulking up when folding over and you can cut it and re-tie if it stretches out too much - or to modify for wearer. The xl fits husband and boys well, but have to fold fabric over the elastic further or it gaps on the side. It's a great pattern, and as every sewer knows there's always modifications!
I agree the way I did the elastic does not work for everyone and it don't work for some machine. I did update this video and pattern. Not sure if you seen that video. If not here it is ruclips.net/video/3n_tonKgRMo/видео.html Happy to hear you like the cotton shirt for the tie. I find that one is best as well. Thank You so much for your kind words.
Thank You so much! I just released an update to this pattern and added a child, XL and XXL for big boy man or bearded man. That video is here if you like to check it out. ruclips.net/video/3n_tonKgRMo/видео.html
I was feeling like I would never use my sewing machine again til I tried your pattern...the pattern is easy and comes out looking like I new what I was doing. Thanks!
Great instructional video, thank you for making and sharing it. One thing I would suggest is to use quilting/sewing clips instead of pins, so you’re not making any holes in the fabric.
Your pattern fits well with eye glasses, and you gave good instructions on the video. I was very pleased with the result & the tie variations offered. Thank you for doing this; I Shared with friends to consider this mask if they are making and using fabric masks.
Great pattern, easy sew. I've tried about 7 different Olsen patterns 7 this is by far my favorite so now I'm making a bunch using your pattern. I do put in a nose piece & make my own filters from products I get on ebay (from China) Polypropylene and non woven. Thank you so much for your pattern & instructions. Hope to quit making these some day but who knows, we may be needing these more often than we hope.
So Happy to hear you found my video and my pattern is your favorite. Not sure if you seen the updated video to this one. Which is here ruclips.net/video/3n_tonKgRMo/видео.html I have a few other sizes in that video as well. Stay safe and healthy.
@@Lelesdesigns The only deviation I made was to press seams open on the curved parts before moving on because the first time I didn't line up the seams very well sewing the outer mask to the liner. Easiest pattern every, thanks again & I will check out your other sizes since I need them. Happy Labor Day!
Thanks so much for this video! I am an ED RN and have been trying to make masks since the Covid 19 pandemic started. I am really not a sewer so I was looking for a pattern that was easy to do and your is absolutely the best on the web in my opinion. Your instructional demo was so easy to follow along with that I was not not intimidated to try. I just finished the first on except for the wire which I will do later and love the fit! I am cutting out the next one now! Again, THANKS from the front line!!!!
You are so welcome! I love hearing that you are a new sewer and you were able to make this mask and you found the instruction easy to follow. You made my day just hearing this and even more special that I was able to help someone on the front line. Thank you so much! I also just purchase these nose bridge and they do work better and you don't have to use the heat and bond. just put the inside and sew in place. amzn.to/3ecP3W4 they can be placed outside the mask as well. Stay Safe and Healthy
Thank you. For prom
As an inexperienced sewer I think this is the simplest pattern. The step by step instructions are the best. Getting the pattern is awesome! Thank you!
Your Welcome! This makes me happy to hear.🙂
Excellent tutorial! I've made over 100 masks of another style and just happened on your video today. I'm actually looking forward to making them again and the nose wire encased is brilliant! As a reminder, when you print the pattern be SURE your printer is set to "actual size" not "fit to page" as the pattern will not be the correct size. Two comments for beginners - be careful not to sew over your pins - it can break your needle! It's good practice to put your pins up and down (perpendicular to the fabric) rather than the same direction you are sewing. If you can find Batik fabric - it has a much tighter weave than regular quilting cotton. Again, what a great tutorial and the options are so helpful! Many thanks and stay safe!
Your welcome! Thank you for your kind word and very helpful tips
I have made several different patterns for masks, but this one is the best! It fits well, your instructions are easy to follow, and the masks are very well made. I found the mask holds up so well that I didn't have to put in the nose piece at all. I made about 30 in the last few days and everyone loves them!
You are so welcome! So happy to hear you like my pattern and it was easy to follow along. I appreciate you taking the time to leave me an awesome feedback. Thank You! 🤗
I am new to your channel was searching for a tutorial to help me follow the mask pattern that I purchased from another RUclipsr and stumbled across your video. I seen over 20 RUclips mask demonstrations and this video for me beats them all. Your video is clearly detailed, understood, simplistic, and free. The other video seems so complicated , some want money, tutorials given too fast to be understood, or too lengthy where your no longer interested. I was so desperate I paid the few bucks for my pattern. You instructions gave me enough time to make my mask along with you. Not to mention your video was short and to the point. I am truly impressed. You are the best by far. A big thank you. I am now a new follower. I will watch you channel keep the videos coming. Again thank you!
Wow! Thank You so much. I appreciate your great review . I am so happy to hear it was simple and easy to follow along. I try hard not add any extra stuff and shorten the video as best as possible. I also don't feel it necessary to charge people if we can profit off the advertisement from our video. Your comment has made me more motivated to continue what I have been doing. Thank You.
Same for me. Either the demonstrators weren't thorough with their tutorial, especially for a beginner like myself, or it just didn't make sense and I didn't like the finished product. This one by far beats at least the 10 or so I've looked at and tried. Thanks for the great tutorial...
Thank you 🙏
Nicely done to tutorial. Maybe a little too so much stitching through the fabric in front. Holes are holes.
Would be nice to see the finished product put on a face to see how it fits and covers.
I agree!!! Great video!!
This is by far the most simplest mask pattern with the nose wire and filter pocket ever!!! Thank you for your patience in explaining and demonstrating. Blessings to you and yours!!!
You're very welcome! Happy to hear you like it. Thank You so much for your kind words
This pattern and tutorial is excellent. I am a 76 year old lady who has been looking for a pattern where I won't get confused.... for 6 month and I kept going until I found you, Congratulations to you because you are very precise and I can follow your steps. It is wonderful to find one finally that I can follow. Thank you so much and stay safe yourself, were you a teacher? I'm sure you will receive a lot of positive comments.
You are so welcome! Happy you found my tutorial and pattern. Wow! 6 months is a lot. Glad you kept looking and your found my video and they were easy to follow along. No, I was never a teacher. Thank you for such a kind compliment. Not sure if you seen this video ruclips.net/video/3n_tonKgRMo/видео.html its an update of this video
I’ve made a bunch of mask for my family. I’m always trying to get better and make a better one. But I had to comment on this. I wanna thank u for taking the time to show what u can use!! I think u did a wonderful job and just the explaining of items u can use us a blessing. Thank u so much and God bless and stay safe everybody
Your welcome! I always try to save money and recycle. For this video was hoping people did not have to go out and buy anything if they didn't have too. Thank You so much for your beautiful comment, it really meant a lot.
This is the best tutorial I've seen in weeks. I admit that I'm a 54yo newbie eager to learn on how to sew. I bought a low end sewing machine last week and was only able to get some fabrics last monday when the stores finally opened after 9 weeks of lockdown. Up to today, I've wasted over a yard of fabric due to bad patterns out there (there was one pattern that was supposed to be an adult size and the finished mask would be the perfect fit for your doll, that's how small it ended up!). I've found the same pattern as yours, but the tutorials were terrible... I was able to cut and prep 8 masks today but every tutorial weren't enough detailed for the assembly and really thought my sewing journey was over; so I decided to look again and found you! You are my hero and can't thank you enough for your video. Best regards.
Your Welcome! I am so sorry to hear You had to waste all that material and your time. I am happy to hear you found my pattern and tutorial before you threw in the towel. Most of my tutorial are geared toward the beginner as I remember when I started out and had a hard time. I always wondering if I shared too much info or not enough but the response on this video has been amazing and I appreciate you all for commenting and letting me know. Thank You so much for your kind words. It means a lot to me.
The Olson mask simplified! I love how you extended the front piece and fold it back, rather than having A Separate Peace. Ingenious!
Thank You! Happy to hear you like my pattern and it made it easier for you.
Just made 3 masks yesterday and must say so easy to do. One thing I changed though was I top stitched first before stitching the nose wire and it was much easier. Many thanks
You welcome! Thanks for sharing your great idea.
I have tried probably 30 or 40 face mask patterns and methods. Yours is the best, and this is the best tutorial video I’ve seen. Thank you!
Wow, thank you! Glad to hear it worked out for you, Stay safe and healthy.
Wow, i too have tried at least 15 or more an this is the best Tutorial an it look exactly like hers. I wanted a pattern that i could easily use a guide since i don't have a sewing machine. I did mines by hand.
Thank You so much kimmieg77. Sorry I did not see your message till now. so happy to hear this worked out for you by sewing by hand.
I don't see the measurements of the pattern. Please share. Thank you.
@@Lelesdesigns Hi! Please share measurements of your pattern. I want to try it because it looks easy yet comes out perfect
Just wanted to thank you. A clear, concise, no nonense, straightforward explanation of how to make a mask! On top of which, it's user friendly, options provided, and demo given. Couldn't think of a single question by the end. You deserve a Gold 🌟 love and Stay Safe, Melbourne, 🇦🇺
You're very welcome! Thank You so much for your kind words. I just recently did an update on this pattern and added more sizes. If you like to check that video out it is here. ruclips.net/video/3n_tonKgRMo/видео.html
Thank you! I love that you cut out all the unnecessary steps and just "got it done". I need to make a bunch of these for my senior's centre and this is the method/pattern I'll be using.
Your welcome! Glad to hear you like it. Thank You!
Your video is excellent. You take your time to explain instructions and to give options. There is no guessing on any of the details. I am going to dust off my sewing machine and get started on making masks. Thank you for the inspiration. I am a health care worker (respiratory therapist) and am tired from working so many shifts but on my day off I will be making masks and scrub hats. God bless and take care everyone. Let’s take care of each other. 💗😘 I forgot one recommendation: do not use straight pins because they create holes in the mask that the virus can get through. Use clips instead. 💕
Wow! Thank You so much for your kinds word. Glad to hear you will give this mask a try. Thank you so much for the work you do Because of you, we live in a happier, healthier world. Please stay safe and healthy.
Your tutorial video was the best I have ever seen. I watched it twice and then made two masks straight through. Thank you so much for doing this. Now I am going to sew for the rest of my family. You have made such a difference. Be safe.
Your Welcome! and Wow Thank You so much! Glad to hear This has worked out for you. Have fun stitching them out. Stay Safe and Healthy
I’m repeating the others when I say, BEST tutorial on the Olson Mask. I love your no nonsense style. Can tell you are a professional seamstress (I date myself, I think the correct word is “sewist”). Thank you for sharing. Subbed.
You are so welcome! Wow Thank You so much I appreciate your kind words and I am Happy to hear you like the pattern. Stay Safe and Healthy
I've been sewing the Olson design, this one looks very similar in fit but much quicker and much less faffing around. I'm trying your mask tomorrow. Thanks for the video it's one of the best I've seen, getting straight to the point and cutting out the unnecessary bits is great! It's going to speed things up greatly. Thank you!
Your Welcome! Glad to hear you will like this new patter. Much quicker to make. Defiantly give it a time you will be happy with the results.
@@Lelesdesigns I've been sewing this all day and it's great and actually a better fit from your pattern and so quick x I've subscibed x
Thank You for letting me know. Happy to hear you gave it a try. stay safe and healthy.
Mrs. Sew With Me. Thank you for your honest and most of all your Godly love. Your are amazing and a true blessing from God. I was overwhelmed with happy tears running down my face when you began to speak. Thank you for your free tutorial. Im now following you and wish only greatness for you and you family. Again thank you.
Wow! Thank you so much! I truly appreciate you wonderful comment. You just made my day brighter. Please stay safe and healthy.
I've watched a LOT of videos but yours really puts everything together nicely. I really like using the face and cheek together -- cuts down on cutting and sewing time. Thank you for posting this.
Your welcome! Glad you like the my pattern. Have a great weekend!
I have to tell you, your mask was the easiest and better fit mask I’ve made. Thank you for the patterns and the easy instructions 🤗🤗
Great to hear! Thank You! 🤗
Thank you so much for sharing your genius pattern! I just learned how to sew a couple weeks ago and have been trying to make all sorts of masks. This is the best by far! Easy to follow and I love your short cuts!
You are so welcome! 😊Glad to hear it was Helpful and easy to follow along. Stay Safe and Healthy
Finally --- A great tutorial, hits all the marks.
Thank You! happy to hear you like the tutorial.
Excellent video, you give good instructions without endless chatter, I appreciate that!
Thank You! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much. I'm a new at sewing. This was a very easy mask to make. The potential to switch out the elastic is what drew me to this mask. It fits me great.
Thank You! Glad to hear it was helpful
As a novice in sewing, this pattern by far is the best & easiest . I have one other favorites from the 9 i have tried. Ear our we still on the works for me, but i have options ther. Thank you ever so mush. In 2 days I shipped out 12 masks with this patty
Your welcome! I am happy to hear I was able to make it easy for you to make. This was my made goal for making this mask is shipping to family and friend out of town and being uncertain if the mask would fit. I would end up making a few different sizes till I created this pattern now Im able to just send them some extra elastic and they can double tie the elastic to the size they need or hand sew it closed. happy Stitching Lisa
You are selling your masks online? Do u mind if I ask what platform youre using to sell them?....Amazon, ebay, Etsy? Thanks
No I am sorry I am not selling on online. I am so busy making for friends and family.
Hello from Cleveland, Ohio!! Thank you for this video! I just finished my first mask, by following along with your video. I’m a beginner at sewing, so I was nervous the whole time that it wouldn’t turn out right. But even with some stitching faux pas (uneven seams), it turned out great, and it fits nicely! I already received a request for 2 more from my best friend and her hubby in Georgia. 😳😁 God bless you!!
You are so welcome! So wonderful to hear you gave it a try and it turn out great. Love hearing this.
I'm most impressed with your tutorial video--the best!! I've watched soooo many videos trying to find one that I'm comfortable with and the most effective design--you've got it!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! God bless you, be safe and good health!!
You Welcome! 😊Im so glad to hear You liked the video. I appreciate your beautiful comment. Thank You so much! God bless. Stay safe and Healthy
I wish I could add a picture. It started out as a volunteer project with Olson masks. My former boss, and now friend, helped me make my first masks. So, I probably wouldn't do as well as I do if I hadn't had her guidance, but that said, I LOVE YOUR PATTERN! It is the only one I use now. You can have a filter or not, you can have a nose wire or not and it's so easy to add to it. I was just making masks for my son's non-for-profit, and I wanted to stop and thank you for all you do and your amazing teaching skills!
Your Welcome! so happy to hear you like the pattern. I wish You tube would give you the option to add pictures. If you like you can tag me @ lelesdesigns1 in your photo on Instagram.
This is the absolute best video/tutorial I have come across! Very clear and straight forward! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank You so much.
I've looked at other videos and tried a few others but this is my favorite! Thank you so much for the pattern, I've lost count of how many times I've used it.
You are so welcome! Very happy to hear you are getting good use of the pattern. Thank You so much!
My relatives are very happy knowing they now have masks they can wash. Outstanding video. My mother in law would have been proud of my first sewing adventure
That's great! Thank You so much for the kind comment. This makes me happy knowing this was your first sewing adventure and it was a success.
Love the style, the way it fits, the best pattern I've found. So much easier to get the filter in. Your directions are super great. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much! Glad to hear you like it.
Thank you for the video. It is so easy to follow. I havent sewn in years except for mending. After watching this video I have made 3 cloth masks today. excellent.
Wonderful! Happy to hear you gave it a try and were able to make a few mask.
Thank you sooooo much for this tutorial and pattern, Lele!! I’ve tried so many other patterns and not happy with results. Yours is the simplest and easiest one to make. I’ve already made five to send to my son and his wife. 💕👍
You are so welcome! Glad to hear you are happy with my pattern and you found it easy to make. Stay Safe and Healthy.
Thank you for the FREE pattern! I am a beginner, and I was able to make a mask with the filter pocket and nose support on my very first try. My masks are looking good! You are the best.
You are so welcome! So happy to hear this was easy to follow. Thank you for your kind words.
Brilliant! One video, covers it all & simple. Bought my fabric, off to the sewing machine. Thanks!
Wonderful! Happy to hear this. Thank you
Thank you for a simple but effective pattern that even I can follow! My guys love the way they fit.
@@kallinyx5469 Your welcome! So happy to hear this was easy to follow. Thank You.
Thank you ever so much for your easy to follow video and free pattern. I have to wear a mask for work and was using disposable ones. After a while disposables can become too costly. I have a sewing machine and it’s been collecting dust. I watched your video from beginning to end and felt encouraged that I could do it. When I completed the mask it looked and felt great on. Your mask pattern was a perfect fit that I didn’t need to insert the wire and my glasses didn’t fog up. Thank you again.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your Welcome! So Happy to hear you dusted off the machine and jumped right into this pattern and it fit perfectly. That's awesome it didn't fog up your glasses. Thank you so much for your kind words.
Thank you so much for sharing your tutorial and patterns. It made making this mask so easy with your direction. I am a dialysis nurse and get lots of comments on your masks that I have made for my fellow nurses. I will be faithfully following your site. You make things so easy to tackle. Thank you again!!!!!
You are so welcome! Happy to hear you get lots of comments on the mask. Please stay safe and healthy.
Thanks for a great video and pattern!!! I made this last night and it was easy and quick. I made over 40 of the pleated style masks and wish I had found your video sooner because your mask is easier and more comfortable. I also bought the mini iron from your link. :-)
Your welcome! so glad to hear you found this so much easier. Thank You so much for your kind comment and the purchase on the iron.
Love your design, easy and straight forward. Blessings to You and Yours
Thank You So much!
Thank you so much for this. Been looking for an easier way to do the Olson style mask and this is great!! Only two pieces instead of six!!! Thank you thank you!!
You are so welcome! Glad to hear you liked it. I wanted to make this mask as easier and less step as possible. Thank You for your comment.
Thank you so much for your videos and for sharing your patterns with us! I was looking for a project for my neurodivergent daughter to help her to continue to work on her motor skills and this is somethings she does seem interested in and is willing to try. She has a little sewing machine and also a love for dolls which she collects. Hopefully she'll love doing some of the things you do. I for one am looking forward to using your videos to try to do some projects myself.
You are so welcome! Happy to hear it will be helpful 😊
Ive been looking everywhere for this tutorial, something that me and my family could actually use, i tested it out and it works, very easy to follow and the stuff isnt hard to get, i will leave a like so more people can see this and im sharing this tysm! Stay safe everyone!
Thank You so much! I just posted another video today with this same pattern but I included a XL size and child size pattern also a couple of new items I use for supplies. ruclips.net/video/3n_tonKgRMo/видео.html
@@Lelesdesigns where can I get the pattern for small ladies?
This pattern should work. just make the elastic 4"-5" If it don't you might try the child size and add more elastic. that pattern is here ruclips.net/video/3n_tonKgRMo/видео.html
Thank you for the video , patterns and links! I tried 10 different types of masks- I believe yours are by far the best! Well done on the video- bought several items from your links- The Iron is awesome! Thanks again
You are so welcome! So happy to hear this was helpful. Thank You so much for purchasing though my link. I agree that iron is awesome. have fun stitching this out. You will be happy with the results.
I love your pattern! I have been making many masks and using various patterns, but this is my favorite! It is well designed and has a clean finish! I did subscribe. Thank you, again!
You are so welcome! I am so happy to hear you love it. Thank You for your kind comment.
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial!! It's easy to follow and well-explained. I just finished making my own mask with the hand stitching technique. Haha it took me almost 4 hours sewing by hand but I love the results!!!💕☺️✨
Wonderful! So happy you love the result and it was worth it. Thank You stay safe.
I have made a few masks - all different patterns. I saw your video so thought I would give it a try. Glad I did, because this is by far the BEST pattern I have used. The pattern is great and your video is very very easy to follow. The mask fits me perfectly and I like the fact that there is a place for a filter too. I liked your tip for covering the wire also - so easy to do. Very very good pattern and video. Thank you for sharing. I will most definitely be using this pattern from now on.
You are so welcome! so delighted to hear my pattern was easy to follow and it fits. Thank You so much for your wonderful comment.
Sew With Me I have already cut out 7 more to make 😋. For my son and husband. Thank you again.
Your welcome! So happy to hear this. Stay safe and healthy.
Thank you for the very easy to follow instructions. Love the idea of bonding web for putting the nose wire in, I would never have thought of it.
Glad it was helpful!
Hello! I have been watching numerous videos on Mask making and found your video the very best. Your instructions and patterns were exacting and left nothing for error. Thank you very much. Now I can make your masks for my daughter who is a doctor in another state. I will also be using the N95 filter in the pocket for her to change out daily, I appreciate your sharing your knowledge and pattern.
You are so welcome! I am so happy to hear u did not run into any error and the tutorial was easy to follow. Made my day to hear a doctor will be wearing a mask I made the pattern for. Thank You for your beautiful comment.
Your tutorial is great. Thank you for easy access to the pattern. This style is the best fit for me and my family members. I think even beginners can successfully follow your tutorial.
You are so welcome! Thank You so much for your kind words!
You are the best!! I have watched so many videos and made tons of masks. Your mask is excellent and your description, delivery, and explanation are the best I have seen! You are a pleasure to watch! Your voice is also so calming. Thank you
Wow, thank you!
This is the best mask tutorial on RUclips! Thank you😀
Wow, thank you so much!
Love this pattern. Unfortunately ive tried at least 15 or more an this is the Best, fits really well to my face an i hand sewn mine. Thanks for sharing!!👍😀
Wonderful! So Happy to hear. Thank You for your great comment 😊
Thank you Sew much! You are a great instructor...so easy to follow. Thanks too for the easy to download and print pattern.
Glad it was helpful! Thank You for your kind words

I can't thank you enough for your time and patience showing how to make this perfect mask. I love the nice open filter pocket and the way you made it so easy to make!
Great instructions. I am going to make it right now!
You're very welcome! Thank You very much for your kind comment. Happy to hear you like my pattern and video. Have fun making it.
Thanks so much for this! I’ve been trying so many different patterns and all. This is perfect and so easy to do. Thanks so much.
You are so welcome!
Great tutorial! Looks like one of the best and easy to follow. I like the idea of a removable filter. I tried making one with the filter inner facing in between the two layers and it was very bulky to turn inside out. I also like your nose wire idea. Thank you for the pattern! Stay well.
Awesome, thank you! Happy to hear this was easy to follow. Stay Safe and Healthy.
I happened across your channel looking for SIMPLE facemasks. I am a simplistic sewer, but feel with your video & instruction I SHOULD be able to do this. Bless you for the awesome video!!
Wonderful! Defiantly give it a try you will be happy you did. Let me know how you like it and have fun stitching it out.
Your instructions and pattern & options make for a well fitting, easy to make mask. Thanks, Lisa. I've made 2 and will be using this as my go-to mask, as it includes the filter pocket and nose guard as well.😷 Linda R., Naples FL
You are so welcome! I'm delighted to hear this is your go to mask. Not sure if you seen I just added a child size, XL and a XXL of this same pattern I also found some softer elastic and nose bridge that I talk about in this video ruclips.net/video/3n_tonKgRMo/видео.html
Great video!! You made it easy for anyone to follow. I will be following you now. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks and welcome
I love your face mask, was looking for a slightly easier way to insert nose piece and came up with the idea of inserting the nose piece before sewing round the mask. I enclose the wire in the 3 x 1inch of lining fabric, then before sewing around I use an edging foot, supplied with my Bernina sewing machine 54 years ago, I put the selvedges all together with centre of wire at the centre join and sew around as per your demonstration before turning the mask right side out. it speeds up everything quite a bit.
Your welcome! That is a great idea! Thank You for sharing. Hopefully others will see this.
Thank you so much for your pattern and video. As soon as I viewed it and saw that you added the pattern I had to get to work right away. I am do not do a lot of sewing but your video got me motivated. I am a dialysis RN and have given some to my fellow nurses and they really enjoy them as do I. Thank you again for so willing to give part of yourself to us.
Glad it was helpful and motivated you to make theses mask. Thank You for your kind words. I recently posted a newer video which show 2 new supplies that might make it easier to make. I also added 2 more pattern pieces that includes an XL and Child size. The link to that video is here ruclips.net/video/3n_tonKgRMo/видео.html
I’ve made a few masks with different patterns yours is truly simple. I’m trying it today I’ll let you know how it turns out. Thank you for sharing. ( I also have that little iron it’s cute but durable).
Your Welcome!I happy to hear you found it simple. Yes, give it a try you will be happy you did.
Thank you so much for this pattern and the free template. I have searched so many video's and yours is so easy to follow. Good job!! and thanks again.
Your welcome! Happy to hear it easy to follow. Thank you for your kind words
That was a fantastic tutorial. Very instructional with all sorts of details for people like me who lack of sort of sewing knowledge. Thank you so much
You are so welcome! Glad to hear it was helpful.
Excellent tutorial! Very clear directions and synced up well with the video.
Thank you very much for your kind words
Good tutorial. I also top stitch the top and bottom at 1/8" as it helps the mask keep its shape better in the wash.
Thank You so much! Yes, I'm not sure if it showed at the end I did state to do a top stitch but didn't show the sewing of it as the video was longer than I wanted it to be. I agree with you it helps keep it shape.
This is the BEST and EASIEST face mask pattern!! Thanks so very much for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the helpful video. I've been watching videos on how to do just the 👂 ear loops and how to see them on. Your the only person who had what I was looking for. And how to do it. Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you! Glad to hear it was helpful.
I just made 2 masks for my niece. The pattern and tutorial made the process easy peasy! Thank you so much for sharing your pattern.
You are so welcome! Happy to hear it was a easy process.
Thank you so much for your informative and wonderful video! It is truly the BEST & certainly the MOST INFORMATIVE video I have seen and I have watched so many!!! I can not tell you how much I appreciate your video, your gentle voice, and your excellent teaching skills. I do not have a sewing machine - but I am excited to try and hand sew my family masks using your pattern and helpful instructions!!! Thank you soooooo very much!!! :))))
Your Welcome! So Happy to hear you like the video. Thank You for your sweet comment. It made my day. Yes, give it a try I a had a few lady say they hand sewed it and all worked out. Happy Stitching Lisa
I like how you modified The Olson Face Mask Pattern by eliminating the cheek pieces. I am going to try it this way. I make the original, but yours will be quicker as I am not cutting out extra pieces. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Your Welcome! Yes, give it a try. You will be happy with the result and how quick it take to make
I had made masks for my children following your guidance a year ago… i am making more now… it is still not totally safe yet in my country & we still wear masks when we go out… your video is really helpful… thank you
Thanks for sharing. Happy to hear the pattern has been useful. Here in Arizona we are not restricted to wearing mask but in Oregon my son is having to wear them where ever they go.
best video around, so clear and easy to follow. the nose wire is so comfortable to wear. I am going to make some for my grandkids - I'll just cut the pattern smaller
Wonderful! So happy to hear this. For the child pattern I would suggest printing it at 75% if it is a child 3-6 yrs old and older I would say print it at 85%. for child older than 6yrs old
Thank you so much for a great tutorial and a great looking mask, which I’m going to try to make. The added bonus of the nose wire and pocket lifts this to another level. The explanations are simple and clear and easy to follow. Appreciate this and the free pattern 😀 this video is a keeper!
your so welcome. Glad to hear it was helpful.
I just love how informative and approachable this video is! Thank you from the UK! xx
You are so welcome! Glad to hear you like it.
Thank you! I love this mask it has everything you need. Best part you explained the process so very well!! Thank you!

I totally agree this is the best video I've ever seen. Great job and thank you🤗
Wow, thank you! 🤗
I have been trying at least 20 different facemasks and this one is by far my very favourite one. Your clear instructions were so good. I will be sharing your youtube with many of my friends. Thank you so much for this wonderful mask and clear instructions.
You are so welcome! Glad you found my video. Thank You so much for sharing with your friends. I truly appreciate it.
Amazing! Absolutely easy to follow. By far the best mask tutorial I've seen.
Wow, thank you!

You are welcome! Glad it was helpful. Thank You so much for your sweet comment.
Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial! I've tried many others and have not had nearly as much success as I do when I followed this video! My masks from your instructions have been turning out GREAT! :-)
Your welcome! This makes me so happy to hear this. Stay safe and healthy!
My family and I are so excited to finely come across your training video, after watching countless of others that are good, but yours rang the bell; it has all the bells and whistles, plus easy to make.
I gave you a thumbs up and subscribe to your channel.
Thanks again... :)
I am so happy to hear this. You are so welcome! Thank You for your Wonderful comment, Thumbs up and Subscribing 🤗
Your patterns and instructions are so easy especially for a beginner like me! I did this pattern earlier and it was so easy to follow along with you. Thank you so much!
Wonderful! so happy to hear this. Thank You
Love your tutorial! You probably have heard this, but I have one suggestion - people have suggested that the virus can travel through pinholes, and so many are using little clips instead of pins to hold fabric together. I don't know how big a risk pinholes really are, but thought I would pass it on. Thanks so much for your instruction!
I was undecided on weather I use pins or clips on this video. I decided on pin as that is all what people might have on hand and maybe they had hair clips. but I didn't want anyone to go out and buy something that might not be needed. I'm not sure of the risk of the pinholes too and after all the sewing machine needle is punching quite a few hole as you sew.
Thank You so much for your kind words and letting others know as I am still up in the air on using clips or pins. Hopefully others will see your message and can decide what they like to use.
M Brack you would be right to be concerned if you were dealing with covid patients, but for wearing on public transport or to the shops, this mask, with a dry baby wipe or a paper towel in the filter pocket would be fine.
This is my favorite pattern! Thank you! I have made about a dozen now
Your welcome! so happy to hear it is your favorite pattern. Stay safe and healthy.
I enjoy your simple explanation and natural way of speaking. The only thing I have a problem with is the elastic stitching. I have to hand stitch. My Husqvarna would grab that little bit of elastic and pull into bobbin area and ruin it. Also, I made the regular size for myself and woman friends/family and we have to have 8" of elastic, and since handstitching it is a tiny overlap. I like the cotton tshirt - I leave the knot out at the bottom, it keeps it from bulking up when folding over and you can cut it and re-tie if it stretches out too much - or to modify for wearer. The xl fits husband and boys well, but have to fold fabric over the elastic further or it gaps on the side. It's a great pattern, and as every sewer knows there's always modifications!
I agree the way I did the elastic does not work for everyone and it don't work for some machine. I did update this video and pattern. Not sure if you seen that video. If not here it is ruclips.net/video/3n_tonKgRMo/видео.html Happy to hear you like the cotton shirt for the tie. I find that one is best as well. Thank You so much for your kind words.
You win the best of all videos !!!!!!!
Wow! Thank You so much!
Your design is fantastic ! Just what I wanted...and you explain it so well. Thank you !!!
Thank You so much! I just released an update to this pattern and added a child, XL and XXL for big boy man or bearded man. That video is here if you like to check it out. ruclips.net/video/3n_tonKgRMo/видео.html
Best mask tutorial so far I have seen. Thank you its great... I love the pocket and the fold back ....
Helen M.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the great video!! I sew and quilt and your demo on different materials options was BRILLIANT!! Keep up the great job :)
Thank You so much!
I was feeling like I would never use my sewing machine again til I tried your pattern...the pattern is easy and comes out looking like I new what I was doing. Thanks!
You are so welcome! This makes me happy to hear you gave it a try and did it. Love hearing this.
Great instructional video, thank you for making and sharing it. One thing I would suggest is to use quilting/sewing clips instead of pins, so you’re not making any holes in the fabric.
Thank You so much!
Wow , this is the best Instructional video. Great job. 💕😍💞💞💞💞💞💞
Thank you so much 🤗
Your pattern fits well with eye glasses, and you gave good instructions on the video. I was very pleased with the result & the tie variations offered. Thank you for doing this; I Shared with friends to consider this mask if they are making and using fabric masks.
Thank you so much!
The most practical and easy to follow video I have seen. Thank you from Dublin Ireland! Go raibh mile maith agat
You are very welcome! Glad to hear it was easy
Came across your tutorial today& have viewed it 4 times! Am excited to download the pattern & get started tomorrow! Thanks so much 😊
You are so welcome!
Great pattern, easy sew. I've tried about 7 different Olsen patterns 7 this is by far my favorite so now I'm making a bunch using your pattern. I do put in a nose piece & make my own filters from products I get on ebay (from China) Polypropylene and non woven. Thank you so much for your pattern & instructions. Hope to quit making these some day but who knows, we may be needing these more often than we hope.
So Happy to hear you found my video and my pattern is your favorite. Not sure if you seen the updated video to this one. Which is here ruclips.net/video/3n_tonKgRMo/видео.html I have a few other sizes in that video as well. Stay safe and healthy.
@@Lelesdesigns The only deviation I made was to press seams open on the curved parts before moving on because the first time I didn't line up the seams very well sewing the outer mask to the liner. Easiest pattern every, thanks again & I will check out your other sizes since I need them. Happy Labor Day!
Your Welcome! Happy Labor Day!
