CDC on Homemade Cloth Face Coverings
CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies), especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.
CDC also advises the use of simple cloth face coverings to slow the spread of the virus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others. Cloth face coverings fashioned from household items or made at home from common materials at low cost can be used as an additional, voluntary public health measure.
Cloth face coverings should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.
The cloth face coverings recommended are not surgical masks or N-95 respirators. Those are critical supplies that must continue to be reserved for healthcare workers and other medical first responders, as recommended by current CDC guidance.

I just made one of these, and never sew in my life this was my first sew project and now I'm hooked, and yes the masked turned out so good. Thanks so much for sharing your the best.
@@julliestrippoli7551 best video on hear. Covers slot and you can put a filter this was great.
Same! My first time ever sewing and this was so easy to follow. Great instructions!
Much appreciation for pattern, I am your subscriber now. So professional and understandable . The best video and clear instructions . Stay healthy and prosperous. You don't charge any money like some others. Because of such people world still exist! God bless you, dear Daisy!
How do I download the pattern ?
You can also use elastic waist band from old underwear if can't get elastic otherwise.
thanks for the tip!
you can also use hair ties, large rubber bands and strips cut from t-shirts...
Just change the pattern a bit and use FABRIC instead of elastic. Fabric will hold better anyway, and last longer.
you can cut apart old bungee cords. they are full of excellent elastic material.
or the elastic from a fitted bed sheet :)
I think we all "knew " in our hearts that any mask is better than NOTHING! *be safe*
I agree that this video was by far the best I have seen yet! Thank you for the very clear instructions both verbally and by video. I would like to mention that the blue pleated mask that you describe as an N95 is NOT an N95...It is a standard everyday mask we use for general purposes in the hospital. An N95 mask filters out 99% of small particles like viruses. This mask does not. The N95 is a stiff, rounded formed mask that does not have pleats. I say this only so the community doesn't get confused and think they are getting more protection than the standard hospital masks provide. It is, however, a great idea to insert a standard hospital mask inside the pocket for extra protection, These are more readily available. Thank you again! I am going to make two tonight for two medical practitioners to use when supplies are low. TI Registered Nurse
Can these be washable?
Ummm n95 filters 95% of particles like the name states
Tanisha Lee Jones no. Arbon mostly gets smell
Tanisha Lee Jones sorry carbon filters
Tanisha Lee Jones Do you mean HEPA bags with fiberglass particles? Bad for lungs!! Just use 100% cotton. It’s washable and safe. Distance yourself 6-10” from others. Best tip from doctors and nurses: Wash hands correctly for at least 20 seconds, and stay home to protect others as well as yourself.🙏🏼😊❤️
Of all the tutorials I watched, this was the easiest to follow. I just made my first one today, and it turned out very well. Thank you so much!
.
Just a suggestion, I haven't gotten to see one yet, but it looks as if right before you sew and reinforce the edges, you may be able to place a wire inside to help with the nose seal. Love your design!!!!
I did. It is not super neat, but not horrible. I put the wire in after I turned it right side out and sewed around it to hold it in place, top stitched up to that area, then skipped to the other side of the wire and started top stitching again. Seems to work well.
You could slip in some pipe cleaner. :-)
The first adult mask I made was too small (probably because the printer didn’t print to scale). I enlarged the pattern and got great results to fit our bigger faces and instead of ponytail holders I attached some bias tape ties (RUclips tutorials) that I folded and reinforced. I like the ties better because they don’t hurt my ears.
Shelia Ervin I measured my face and increased
the size of the pattern by about an inch and a half mostly lengthwise (added about an inch and a half to the chin) and a little bit to the sides so the proportions were basically the same. What I ended up with is sort of a one size fits all that actually fits my kids as well because the ties make it adjustable.
I'm gonna try this. I was on the frontlines delivering groceries and supplies. Now I'm home in quarantine. Not enough test too see if I have the flu or what? So I'm gonna make use of my time. If this darn headache let's me thread the needle. Wish me luck. Be safe out there. God Bless you all.
Hope you feel better🙏🏼🥰🥰
hope you're doing ok
Hope you're feeling better!
Headaches are one symptom of being infected with the Corona virus. Please get yourself checked out and tested. Hope you feel better soon.
🌟✨🌟 Can’t wait until this pandemic is over so that Walmart and Hobby Lobby will open back up so I can get what I need. 😳
Walmart is open and you can have it delivered
Theresa Pace you’re awesome. Thanks.
I just ordered the materials that I needed off of Walmart for store pick up and the Hobby Lobby here just got shut down Thursday
lol
I went to three Walmarts today trying to get materials. The first 2 had shut down the crafts section, and the managers refused to cut fabric even when I explained what I wanted it for. It's really insane to shut down the only place where you could get materials, after the CDC recommended people at least wear homemade masks. That section requires a single employee. Then need to reopen the craft stores. I would consider them essential businesses.
By far the best Video on face mask and thank you for the pattern!!!!
I have watched COUNTLESS videos trying to decide which style I wanted to make. Your video is by far the best one I have seen yet. I also watched one of a nurse talking about the different styles and she said this style is the best. I'm going to make some today. Thank you for the very clear instructions!
Thank you for the pattern. It was very easy to follow. Since I had some time on my “hands” and did not have a sewing machine, I sewed two of these by hand one for me and one for my wife. Yes a man who sews... lol
You go, Tyrone!
This is a great pattern and method thank you for sharing. However, I had heard that it is not advisable to use iron on interfacing as the glue may be hazardous to your health. Perhaps use a non iron interfacing instead?
Thank you! Couple questions, if you don’t mind: (1) who says the the fusible webbing filters? (2) is this (machine) washable?
Hi daisy. Its really interesting. Nice mask..thx
Ive tried a few different patterns, and this was by far the best and easiest for me! Thank you
I modified a similar pattern for my own use. I made the filter pocket opening on the bottom, it's a bigger opening, easier to insert your filter of choice. The tension when you wear it keeps the opening closed. I'm using pieces of blue paper shop towels for the filter. In lieu of elastic for ears, I'm using a shoe string and cinch lock, but could use a length of crochet chain.
Can you share how you used the blue shop towels as a filter. I have a box of them and would love to know how to use them.
@@karenerc1529 I cut the blue shop towel to size and insert 2 pieces into the mask pocket. For the size mask I make, I can get 6 pieces out of a sheet.
Using the adjustable loop method allows me to hang the mask from my neck and put it on or take it off with ease.
@@krisinoregon6806 thank you so much! Are you using interface on your fabric as well as shop towels.
how many inches did you leave for an opening at the bottom of the filter pocket.
Hi Daisy, which one from your pattern is similar to this video? Is that pattern you are using 6 inches?
Is this one 😉 drive.google.com/file/d/16un2-9q53tvuvdc1fALnyzGA5cejLkea/view?usp=drivesdk
Hi Daisy, how do I down load the pattern ?
Is your fused mask washable?
My sister-in-law has tiny ears and floppy I guess you could say lol but anyway
I used hair elastics For the top and tie strings for the bottom.
So It doesn’t pull your ears down and make the mask fall off, plus you can just slip the top off your ears and flip the mask down if you need to take it off without untying the bottom. Just Incase you know anyone with tiny ears or it works great for little kids also 😷
Happy stitching to all and God Bless EVERYONE
Love you all!! 😁
Thank you! And thank you for sharing the PDF's for kids and adults! This style of mask (that hugs the face) with filter pocket was what I was looking for!! 🤗😊❤️ Great video!
Dani 78 are the PDF print outs actual size?
Yaya save it first in your desktop or files and then you print it from your files. Make sure to check with the ruler after your print it
Adriana Adorro hi, can you tell where this face mask pattern is located? I don’t see it anywhere
I can't find pdf pattern
It's in the video description 🤗
Hola he mirado muchos turoriales y me decidi por seguir el tuyo. Tengo dos ninas pequenas y te agradezco el molde. Soledad Chile
Your videos are very easy to understand. Thank you for the patterns!
Thank you for this pattern! My coworkers know I'm the token seamstress, but I for some reason just couldn't figure out a good general size (Because I made my pattern to fit my face specific) to make theirs, and this was perfect!
I've watched many tutorials lately on making masks, and this is one of the best ones I've seen. Thank you!
Find the pattern
Thank you I got the pattern and will make mask for my family
Love this design but just for clarity that is NOT an N95 mask you are inserting, it is a surgical mask. Still a great design and using a surgical mask will be helpful. Nice.
This is the 3rd mask I made today and by far the best design. I modified mine by using a continuous fabric strap instead of elastic (for longevity) and it looks great!! I am by no means a professional seamstress but this looks like I am haha! Thank you.
do you have a pattern

I want to switch to a fabric straps for tying also because the elastic has to be tied at the right length for each person, so I think ties are more adjustable. But that means making a lot of bias tape.
@@pamelablunt1839 It does and it's such a pain! But in the long run it will be worth it.
Only n 95 detals please
Best tutorial I have seen so far and I have looked at about 10 of them. Looks like a very nice mask that provides good protection. Now I just wish you could make me one :) Nice job !
Best tutorial hands down
Wow beautiful, made quite a few already. Thank you so much 💕
Which pattern do I download to print adults actual size there are so many options?
Thank you so much!!! My husband and I made several different masks today from several different sites and your was the most helpful! Thank you!!! Great job!
I enjoyed thus video. Need children and men size. Thanks in Advance
i do this style mask by hand i dont have a Sewing machine so far made 9 mask in 4 day for family they love them 💖
Excellent pattern and instructions. I like that there's no need for a third layer to create the pocket. I added a channel at the top to slip in a nose wire. Thank you so much for sharing this!
I've watch several patterns and this is REALLY the BEST! It's easy, fits perfect and less holes in stitching. Thank you very much for sharing and sharing the pattern for free. May God Bless you more.

Can you add a pipe cleaner to fit it around the nose?
@@katrinmehler5087 I think you could easily sew an extra seam about 1/2 inch from the top edge, leaving end open. I would take pipe cleaner out for washing, (or however you are sterilizing except for UV sterilization). Then the pipe cleaner can be replaced. I'd also fold the ends of the pipe cleaner in so they don't poke through.
Do you sell these?? I have 4 children from 3-7, and I think this would take me a long time to do by hand.
@@MandyAmelia Wouldnt take that long to make, if you know how to sew and as the video is pretty good, think about 10 to 15 min for each.
Are they washable?
Very concise AND easy to follow step by step instructions!!! EXCELLENT video!! Thank you so much.
I haven’t sewed since I was a kid, but you had the best instructions. My mask came out perfect !! Thanks!!!
Where do I find your patterns and measurements?

Old guy (75) bought fabric and Pellon, watched video, cut pattern. Watched part of video, sewed, watched, finished. Great fitting mask (Medium Adult pattern). Wife made four masks for kids/grandkids. Thank you!
Can someone tell me how to print or make pattern
it opens as a .pdf file which should be readable on your computer. There should be an icon on the screen that looks like a printer. Click that and hopefully you'll have a printer readily connected to print. Otherwise she posted a diy pattern that is simple to recreate and is based on a 7" X 7" grid.
HELP ! Can someone help with understanding the way pattern at fold flares out somewhat in this video as where her PDF does not. Is this for both the top and lining fabrics. ?? I’ve looked at a couple videos and same.. how many more inches is the slight flare out?
I made the mask, liked the pattern, liked the tutorial and it turned out great but the pony tail holders just pull my ears forward and fall off. Disappointed. Back to the drawing board.
Hey Sharon, I skipped the elastic and threaded t-shirt "cord" through where the elastic would go. The cord ties behind the neck and head. I find it more comfortable anyway. Make t-shirt cord by cutting a 3/4 to 1 inch strip all the way across the width of a t-shirt. Pull tightly and it will roll itself into a cord.
Sharon, look up ‘ear saver’, it might be what you’re looking for here
Hi. Did Four and Im using them. I don't have a sewing machine so I sewed them by hand.
Great tutorial! Will be using this pattern to sew some masks for my family. Thank you so much for your clear directions!
Tbh this was unhelpful to me because she doesn’t say which sample she used for the mask and they are so stiff after making them a tutorial should be thoroughly explained to every single detail
One of the only videos I found in this pattern with actual sizes. I am using my phone, so to connect to my printer or pull out my laptop (2012 version) would take forever to print out a template. I want a few masks just in case. 😃👍
🌺 *Daisy* 💯 ✔️
from what I understood you're not supposed to use fusible interfacing when you making these masks because it is not good to breathe through.
Fwiw, I wondered about the interfacing too. I picked up some 1 micron pillowcases on Amazon, will skip interfacing and just do a layer of micron fabric and batik. Both have density yet are breathable. The 1 micron covers help against allergens, etc. Batiks are 200 and over thread count. I am a quilter.
@@titianmom Thank you so very much. Your answer is what I have been looking for!
@@titianmom How do you find 1 micron pillowcases on Amazon? Does it have a different name? Amazon website says it does not have something like that.
lightweight non-woven fusible interfacing is fine to use.
I just made my first one and used fusible medium weight that I had. I can breath through it with no problem. I am not likely to wear it a lot because I am mostly home. Maybe there is an issue with whatever outgassing comes through because of the adhesive?
Thank you for the instructions and pattern, I would Not put fusible interfacing into the mask it's hard to breathe. Instead use non fusible interfacing.
Great work Daisy! This is probably the best construction guide I’ve seen using ponytail holders. I love the way you finished the edges and left the opening for HEPA filtration material. 1/4” elastic bands are the new toilet paper in terms of local availability lol.
There's elastic in underwear.
I saw that bungie straps are full of small elastic bands, and in the one I opened up (which was not an easy task) there were many but each one was very small in diameter or width. Don't look strong enough.
I'm using up an old fitted sheet for elastic. The elastic was fully encased, most have elastic surged into the seams. This won't work for cheaper or newer sheets probably.
paracord, cut a headband and sew each end to the mask, thin headbands, use your imagination, I've seen masks attached to a headband by a button so it doesn't dig into your ear
@@dianebabbe1270 paracord would stand up to repeated washing way better than many suggestions. I found some small bundles at the dollar store, last month.
Thank you Daisy for the detailed demo! I've made my first fitted mask. The most difficult part is making the pattern by hand. But once done and used to cut the fabric, sewing is very easy. Much faster than the surgical mask style that I have to sew the pleads.
This is the best I've seen! Great job
Thank you for this. My wife used your pattern to make the mask using shop towels instead of fabric, and skipped the interface. Also, she attached a doubled-over pipe cleaner above the nose to improve the seal. It is light, comfortable, and breathable. Shop towels are inexpensive and are supposed to be reasonably effective against the passage of viruses. It seems sturdy, but only time will tell how well it wears and cleans up.
Thanks Daisy. I’m a really out of practice seamstress and was looking for a mask that’s fitted and has a filter pocket. I have no elastic on hand and a lot of ponytail holders so that’s another plus that your mask calls for that. Just need the fusing which a friend is going to leave out on her doorstep for me. I’m excited to try this to make for my family, extended family and friends.
Ledge Edge was this mask breathable?

George Costarica Best masks for people with allergies. These are washable and reusable. Filter out more than 90% of particles by itself. Adding extra insert will filter out 99% and is antiviral and antimicrobial. If only need protection from pollens, no need to use the insert. Antibacterial and antiviral masks made of nano copper infused fabric, washable and reusable. Have scientific studies to show that the masks are still effective after at least 30 washes.

Thank you!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for the patterns. I have received many complements on how well they are constructed. The way you explain the process makes it very easy. Thanks again!
Love this tutorial thanks so much! And thanks much for the pattern.
how do you get pattern for masks??
hey daisy. i created a leather earguard on my channel
maybe you could take a look and do a take of your own. it helps to avoid ear chaffing. thanks for your tips. will try to make a fabric inserts for my leather face mask as well. be safe.
I've seen in other video comments that health care professionals warn against using fusible interfacing because of the glue being considered to have harmful chemicals. I use craft felt instead as the filter to make mine. I hope that helps.
Noelia MacLaird I’ll be using felt as my filter as well. When using it will I need to still make double layers of the fabric like the interfacing with fabric?
@@alyssao4741 that is how I did mine. 😊
@@alyssao4741 I saw this video a while back and got the idea to use craft felt in the personal masks I made. This was before the newer versions started being shared. ruclips.net/video/I2bZTaKtcQM/видео.html
I read that too about the glue. Also all those layers might not be very breathable! Pellon recommends light to medium weight sew-in interfacing. I think you could also make the sew-in interfacing as a separate mask (without the seam allowances around the sides) if you want to insert it in the fabric mask but not actually have it sewn into it.
@@joycelayton7353 I haven't used mine yet, but it's recommended that you hand wash and lay it out to dry. You could try using a hair dryer to speed up the process or use the lowest heat setting on your drying machine.
Great job

Hi thank you for a nice tutorial.. do you speak Spanish??
Muchisimas gracias!!! when I retrieved the patterns I was so grateful that you showed how to print the pattern as well as showed us how to copy it with measurement. You made it so easy for us to make the pattern and come back and make it step by step with you. Estoy muy aggradecida. Wow, I just realized you also made it bi-lingual. You are so thoughtful. Que Dios te bendiga corazon!
How do you know what size to use for yourself? I'm not sure especially since I haven't sewn since 8th grade. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you tons!
Will it still work without the stabilzer or fusible interfacing
CDC recommends wearing any mask even if it's only made out of fabric
😉
This is a nice video but the accent...is very hard to understand.
I am not a native English speaker myself that's why I had a hard time. What kind of accent is this? Phillipino or Mexicano?
Daisy, I watched the tutorial but I can’t figure out how to get the pattern. HELP!!!
Just under the video are some comments by the demonstrator. You will need to click on "see more" to view it all. The link for the pattern is at the bottom of the comments and printed instructions.

I've asked several people about using fusible non woven interfacing and have been told not to use it because it isn't breathable so I've been using Muslin in place of it.
Is it correct what I'm doing? Thank you!
I came on here to ask that same question as that's what i heard, also wanted to know about wash ability she seemed to treat the fusible interface quite delicate so you'd only be able to wear it a couple of times? I like the pockets
I heard some nurses were using hepa filter fabric? as its closest to the n95 for filtering particles.
Lucky Lucy Ricardo I was told to use non woven interfacing that’s NOT fusible. They have it in every fabric store
You are correct! Please do not use the sewn in "filter"! You can cut a piece of Oly play fabric and insert into the filter pocket if you do not have a surgical mask to use as the filter. (An N95 mask will not fit inside these, but you can place this over an N95 to protect the outside of it.)
I thought the fusible would be bad because of the glue it contains . Not sure if you can breath through it but I was wondering if felt would be a good filter. Anyone try that ?
Thank you very much Daisy. Your video was clear and easy to follow. And thank you for the templates. I found I had to copy them at 105% after I printed them to make the squares an inch.
I’ve been looking into making some mask and this is the best video I have found so far I love the way you explain thing. I can understand step by step. Now I’m trying to get the materials that I would need but I’m not having luck finding the Pellon 950f interfacing? Is there another one I could use and works just as good?
A product called OLYFUN was recommended on another web site. It is not fusible, so not sure how it will work. Just got mine last night,but haven’t tried it yet. Ordered it from Walmart since I couldn’t find it anywhere else. Hope it works since I have a ton of it. I didn’t realize it was 60” wide.
I was able to fine the cloth material a Jo-Ann. This week they had quilting panels on sale for 40% off. Their cut the perfect size and most of all, price. $1.79 each. As for the elastic, good luck. I went to the dollar tree and got the same as she had (12) $1. The infusion was at Wal-Mart, I wanted to get at Jo-Ann and use my coupon.....good luck and happy sewing.
Excellent video, good easy to follow instructions. Why cam more videos be like this? Thank you so much.
These are amazing! I just made my first of many more and it came out perfect! Thank you so much!
thanks for your sharing with us and we will do it😄
The Fusible Interface is really a step that should just be skipped unless you are planning on only using these one time. That interfacing would last maybe 3 washes and then it would be completely gone. You never put the mask on, but ponytail holders are WAY too small to have any type of secure comfort fit for a large majority of people. If you could get it on your ears, it would be yanking on them.
SD Cruiser you complain to much.
Fusible webbing lasts plenty long enough. I use it when making dresses
I take it you do not sew. That interfacing is commonly used by sewers when making garments - it will last every bit as long as the rest of the mask. And as to the pony tail holders, tell that to everybody else also using them for masks.
@@bellis8204 your missing the reason behind why she is using the interfacing. She's using it as a bonded material to help filter. After a few washes it's worthless for that reason. And pony tail bands might work ok for 15min maybe an hour, any longer and your ears will be on fire.. That is unless you have a pug shaped face
@@israelc1717 don't see a single complaint there, it's feedback. Don't like it, go lick a public door handle.
For fuck sakes, my sewing machine broke down on my last year. It won't stretch forward. But stretching on one spot.
Thank you so for this pattern! One question, though: could I use another material such as felt to replace the interfacing (since I don’t have any)? Or would it be okay to simply use no interfacing but use a good filter to insert into the pocket?
I tried the pattern and I found it very easy. I thank you for your hard work making the free patterns.❤🙏
Daisy can i order from you i don’t ha a suwing machine pls.

Hi Daisy can you send me the link to print the pattern, I’m trying this today looks great
Here in this video you put 7x14 ....but u don't put the measurements for cutting the mask
I think melt blown filter fabric is a better alternative to the interface fabric. I would think the glue used to bond the fabric would prevent air from being drawn in through the mask and instead draw air in through the sides...path of lease resistance. Just my take
beautiful lady with great skills thanks for sharing this. :)
