Very curious which mask idea you liked the most, let me know! If you have more genius hacks to make masks fit better, easier on the ears, look cute and coordinated, please spill :) stay safe everyone!! and wash your masks ✨ (I have a hook in my house where I collect them, and then toss them all in a bra bag for protection in the washing machine)
First thing I'm ever making with my sewing machine wish me luck 😭 Edit: yall are so nice I will tell you the results when I finish might take a while ☺️
I actually “flipped” the elastic to go from top to top and bottom to bottom (rather than staying on one side from top to bottom) and slip it on over my head. I wear hearing aids AND glasses, so a third thing behind my ears is just not good at all. With the bought masks I quickly realised that they were way too big for me when placing the elastic as intended “behind the ears” but then I figured out several ways of pulling the elastic all the way to the back of my head. 1. Cut elastic in the middle and tie bow (top right to top left and bottom right to bottom left string) 2. Get a heir elastic band and do the loop de loop (I have no idea what one calls it..) it’s kind of the same mechanism as zip ties) 3. When wearing a high pony I’ve also looped the elastic “over” and to the other side of the pony tail, sort of crossing them with the ponytail as placeholders in the middle I’ve also created these with edge-banding that extends longer and have, kind of like you did, tied it into a bow around my pony tail as well. Basically doing the most to help out my poor ears.
I use tshirt strips as straps when making my masks (can be a shoelace, any sort of long tie) and loop it through the mask with the ties on the top, so when its untied it hangs on my neck like a necklace and then i can pull the ties through to tighten it to my face and tie it behind my head stays off my ears completely, the ties stays on my head well when moving around all day and its comfortable, and it can hang on my neck (i fold the nose wire when its on my neck so the mask lays in half on my chest)
One of sewing ladies I'm watching on Instagram has made a fabric rectangle (about 1x5 inches) with buttons on either side, you put that rectangle at the back of your head and hook the elastic onto the buttons. I haven't tried that yet but I'm defo considering it. I've also seen a photo of a nurse sewing buttons onto her fabric headband and hooking her elastic on that.
this has been the best kind of face mask for me to wear! i wear glasses and have about a dozen ear piercings, a mask that goes over the ears can be super uncomfortable
Instead of folding over the edges and tying the elastic in a loop, I fold the layers inward and sandwich the elastic flat between the layers. It helps relieve some stress on the ears, since it isn't pulling downward from being in a loop, and uses less elastic!
Hey what would you say about diy-ing an actually warm and also cute dress or two for the cold months? I hate everything I find, they're either not warm enough or cute enough
I've been making reversible masks with 2 different fabrics! I've made one with bees on one side and flowers on the other so I can coordinate without having to make tons of masks!
I've been making masks for myself and my family, and I've been having a lot of fun finding fabrics. I've made several bandana masks, including a couple that are pink on one side and light blue on the east other... They remind me of the new Harley Quin. I also found some rainbow tie dye-esque bandanas that are making really pretty masks. I made some denim masks for my dad that I lined with red plaid flannel. Both fabrics were in my reclaimed fabric stash.... He really liked them. I figure if i have to wear masks, I might as well have masks that make me happy!
I have tons of old fabric. Some I got from my mom 30+ years ago. I had a small amount of Loony Toon fabric and was able to make 2 masks along with some smiley face fabric from 25+ years ago. I have been using them along with some newer fabric I purchased and have been making masks for employees at work.
Yes! I'm so stoked for this mask template 💜 A good mask test is trying to blow out a lighter flame while wearing the mask. If you can't blow it out, your mask is pretty effective
I've been finding that elastics that go all the way around the back instead of hooking around your ears are SO much comfier! You'd think it'd mess up your hair, but as long as you have the right length, you can just pull your top layer of hair up over it and the elastic blends right in! (tho, it's easiest to just hook it over a scrunchie)
i just spend last 6h to design the perfect mask fit for me and let me tell u it was WORTH IT, thank-you for motivation and showing easy way to sew it ❤
my gramma has been making loads and loads of masks since the beginning of quarantine. Since my grandpa has hearing aids he can't have elastic around his ears, she she has experimented with lots of different kinds of ties and elastics. Even though I used to use disposable around the ear masks all the time, I found that I actually really love masks with elastic that goes around my whole head, theyre so much more comfortable. My favorite mask has soft elastic that I can put around my ears and then pull my hair over it so that its totally invisible, but that bow is so adorable and i want to make 5000 now haha. All of these designs are so cute!
I use a bobby pin for a nose wire. It's a bit of a pain to get into shape at first, but then it stays snug on your nose forever. I use a pattern that has a pocket for a filter medium and there you can just topstitch a quarter inch from the top to make a channel for the wire. Saves a bit of time when you're making a lot of them.
All the mask were fun, pretty and safe to wear which we will need for awhile, I believe. Plus you have patterns for all sizes and for different ages from small kids to men, which I haven't seen from any other people yet. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
Your eyelet hair bow is super cute! I like how you made it custom to your face, usually I struggle with the face mask that loosen up throughout the day with knit based fabrics. Woven material gets super hot! Hoping that the “winter season” I make cuter mask for myself to style. 🎭
Yes to decorative masks! Couple of days ago I was thinking of making some Star Trek themed ones and kept wondering how I could add decorative front (which would require some colour blocks) without compromising the shielding properties by adding even more holes in the fabric. Looks like I've got my answer
love the nose wire. I have been doing this since the get go. I use tin ties because they have two wires and are very firm. You can find them on coffee bags or order them online.
This was perfect timing. My mom and I were just making some new masks today and started with the first pattern. Managed to make two to get me by, but the pattern still needs reworking to fix the gaps. The white one with the bow in the back was super cute. Especially when your ears need a break lol
That’s awesome! You can do it!! Lots of hard work and you can get there! 💛 don’t listen to the haters and do what makes your heart beat 💛 one love ❤️ stay safe
wow same im 14 and ive been sewing since i was 6 (my nan taught me on a machine very young) im doing textiles in school and have decided to go to fashion school when i leave high school (im in australia) yesterday i cloned one of my dresses but altered bits to make it my own design and it turned out so well so keep trying try purchasing a dress form and that will really help for you to see the desired fit :)
Hi Wendy loved the 2and mask very girlie. My grandaughter would definitely love it. Thanks for the ideas. Jen xx Ps have you done anymore wall hangings. I'm loving the inspiration for them. Thanks Jen xxxx
I love the bow especially the blue one, it is so pretty with the ponytail. Could you maybe do the elastics on the side of the mask directly into a scrunchie so that it hurts less?
Hey Wendy, just wondering if you can explain your mask pattern a little bit. The PDF has two "sizes," which are labelled Inner and Outer layer. They each say to cut 2, but in your tutorial, it looks like all your layers are the same size. Just wondering if the PDF is meant to provide two sizes for separate masks, or if you're supposed to use them together to create one mask.

I made one of the masks from the tutorial you made a few months back, the square ones with pleated fabric. I'm excited to make this one, i feel like your tutorials are the easiest to follow and the results are always good because of that ✨💜
Also I use a shoe lace instead of elastic. You pull it in from the tops and tie it behind your neck. That way it doesn't really rest on your ears at all and you usually don't have to untie it to pull it off of your head.
I love the idea of the hair ribbon as an ear saver! Cutest way I've seen to do it so far. I went through the same process to create the perfect mask shape for myself as well, albeit a lot slower since I hand sewed mine. I also decided very early on that I preferred sewing the elastics in rather than creating a tube to thread them through because I found that tube to be too bulky and sticks out weirdly because of all the layers of fabric.
Hello everyone. Friendly reminder, with no harsh feelings, just to help: please add a gap to insert a filter. Fabric masks without filter are not helpful in interiors and short distance such aa public transportation or work. Try to help others health by using filters in your masks 😊
Melany Perez hi, if you change them when you need to, they are benefitial. If you don’t use filters and sneeze, your smaller particules get up to 1,5 meters from you, contaminating everyone near you. If you use them, they will only get up to 15cm from you. Obviously it is not nice for the environment, tho it is much better than quirugical masks. I’m talking about sheet filters, not the ones that filter the air you find in some store ones which are actually for painting 😊
I'm a little confused on what exactly a filter is. I've been adding OlyFun between two layers of cotton as a structural/filtering layer. but also having kept fish a while, the removable filters look like charcoal/carbon filters. Are either correct? (as of current research) It's been about three months since I read OlyFun filters well
These masks are beautiful! I love the tutorial on how to create a custom fit. As a teacher, I wear surgical masks and change them out several times throughout the day as they do get "moist!" :) Could not breathe and talk with three layers of cotton while teaching but I would definitely wear these masks out grocery shopping. BTW, we are on the hunt for a sewing machine for our Makderspace in our school's Learning Commons. Love the growing interest in sewing among our young adult population!
i like to sandwich the elastic between the front and back before i turn it right side out (i’ve figured out by now how much elastic i need so i don’t have to measure every time :))
I am speachless!!! Woooow, first of all I am going to make the same changes, so that the mask is more fitted. And second, how gorgeous ideas for masks, wow Sara Nena DIY
I really liked the last one. The greenish blue one that had a bow to reduce the elastic pull on the ears. But, I did notice that it didn't sit well on the bridge of your nose when you talked. It looked as if it if was going to pull down. Other than that, they were all really nice masks for different looks. Thanks!
i reeeaally liked the sporty one but the idea of the white one is very smart and practical, though i feel like the blue one you showed at the end would be better because it had much less fabric for the back of the head and this video gives me japanese street fashion vibes:):)
Just made this!! What an amazing amazing pattern :) Thank you so much Wendy!! I got a little tripped up when I was layering the inside, middle, and and decorative layers before sewing, but figured it out alright in the end :) I loved seeing your thought process as you created and edited as you went along!
Mask is like a cute accessory where I live, not just for safety but a fashion statement 😂. Yesterday I did embroidery on some plain masks I bought. Need to up my mask game otherwise it's a shame among fashionista colleagues.
Those masks really look so adorable but, having to wash them, there is one major question. How will the decorative fabrics end when washing them as the masks should be washed? I wash my masks with 60° Celsius which is quite hot and i can surely say, the organza won't stand a chance to survive. Have you got got any tipps and tricks how to wash your beautiful masks because i really wanna try and make some like them for my famliy and me! ^^ And thanks for your gorgeous content!
you can wash them at 30° and it will still kill anything! but if that concerns you still, there's hygiene add ons liquids (??) that go in your fabric softener space or in a cup directly in the machine and it'll extra kill bacteria and viruses and stuff, while also being skin friendly :D
If you're concerned about the fabric getting ripped in the wash, consider a delicates bag. They're great for anything that's lacy or small or easily stretched. Can't recommend one enough. I'm unsure about the temperature though.
In my country it is recomended that you either wash them in 90° Celsius or boil them for 5 minutes in soapy water, so I'm also woried that any synthetic fibers would melt if I did that to them.
I find not tying the elastic but sewing it into the mask makes it a lot more comfortable! Edit: for clarification the elastic ends up coming from the sides of the mask not the top and the bottom
Thank you for this video! 🤗 Good to see how to fit masks.. The cottagecore idea was new to me, that i will try out. :) I made a mask with two long strips of jersey instead of elastics or ribbons. The mask is so comforable that i forget that i'm wearing it. Literally right now i realized it is still round my neck. 🤣 (I got some take away about 5 hours ago..)
I love all of these! The white one with the bow was my favorite though. Do you crochet? There are tutorials on RUclips for crocheted bands with buttons that you wear on the back of your head with the ear loops over the buttons. I probably didn't explain that well. I made a pile of them and sent them to my daughter's MIL, who is a nurse. She passed them out to co-workers and everyone loved them. I need to make more for her. Thanks, Wendy! I'll check out honey. Blessings all!!!!!
I liked all of them! I think my favourite is the ~athletic one cause I've never seen one with ear loops like that and I think it's a great idea! I also love the super frilly pink one : )
Loved this. I bought some “mermaid” fabric to go over my mask. It’s going to be like the strawberry one but shimmery. I’m also making all sorts of Halloween masks.
Very curious which mask idea you liked the most, let me know!

Hello
I wish i have a sewing machine 😭
12:29 lol same girl
The mesh one ( sporty style) is my favourite
Will definitely use your hashtag when I make it and post about it 😘😘
I love frills but fell head over heels for the embroidery one with the bow you wore with your white dress.
Honestly the best mask idea is to personalize the fit! No matter how cute they are, they won't be wearable if they dont fit properly!
I saw her downtown and she is even MORE stunning in person. I wish I could have said hello but respecting personal boundaries and distancing!
Way to practice healthy boundaries!! :D I bet it was hard to not walk up and say hi!

It helps relieve some stress on the ears, since it isn't pulling downward from being in a loop, and uses less elastic!

All so cute !! I love the white eyelet one and the pink ruffle!

Your thumbnail is GORGEOUS!! the face masks look so pretty
I hoard those wires too. They are great for closing frozen food bags(like veggies) before throwing them back in the freezer.
So cute, my favorite was the one with the scrunchy. Thank you Wendy for sharing!!! Judy
the elastic pull was such a good idea!!!!
I especially like the bow addition. I have a friend who was born with only one outer ear. ☮️💞🙏🏼
I love the ribbon along the back! It’s cute and functional.
Love them all. Genius with the ribbon taking the strain off our ears. 👸❤️
I wanted to mention the need for nose wire and you got it at the end. I also love the one with the bow at the back.
Floral wire & craft wire are also good substitutes for a nose wire I’ve used them for my first three masks & they work great
Thanks for the tip! The nose wire is the hardest part to acquire.
The strawberry mask looks so cute!
Yes to decorative masks! Couple of days ago I was thinking of making some Star Trek themed ones and kept wondering how I could add decorative front (which would require some colour blocks) without compromising the shielding properties by adding even more holes in the fabric.

Mask is like a cute accessory where I live, not just for safety but a fashion statement 😂. Yesterday I did embroidery on some plain masks I bought. Need to up my mask game otherwise it's a shame among fashionista colleagues.
The ribbon method is so cute!
That bow is so cute!!
Only Wendy can make mask making seems fun!
The bow is so cute, I'm so excited to try it
I looove the music you use in your videos, the pink lemonade one is so cool
Those masks really look so adorable but, having to wash them, there is one major question. How will the decorative fabrics end when washing them as the masks should be washed? I wash my masks with 60° Celsius which is quite hot and i can surely say, the organza won't stand a chance to survive. Have you got got any tipps and tricks how to wash your beautiful masks because i really wanna try and make some like them for my famliy and me! ^^ And thanks for your gorgeous content!
you can wash them at 30° and it will still kill anything! but if that concerns you still, there's hygiene add ons liquids (??) that go in your fabric softener space or in a cup directly in the machine and it'll extra kill bacteria and viruses and stuff, while also being skin friendly :D
If you're concerned about the fabric getting ripped in the wash, consider a delicates bag. They're great for anything that's lacy or small or easily stretched. Can't recommend one enough. I'm unsure about the temperature though.
In my country it is recomended that you either wash them in 90° Celsius or boil them for 5 minutes in soapy water, so I'm also woried that any synthetic fibers would melt if I did that to them.
I made the frilly pink mask! It was the one I like the most, and I had to make one for myself! Love the video! And thank you for sharing it! ♡
So cute! I'm literally about to go make some. Thank you so much!
I find not tying the elastic but sewing it into the mask makes it a lot more comfortable!
Edit: for clarification the elastic ends up coming from the sides of the mask not the top and the bottom
Thank you for this video! 🤗 Good to see how to fit masks.. The cottagecore idea was new to me, that i will try out. :) I made a mask with two long strips of jersey instead of elastics or ribbons. The mask is so comforable that i forget that i'm wearing it. Literally right now i realized it is still round my neck. 🤣 (I got some take away about 5 hours ago..)
I love all of these! The white one with the bow was my favorite though. Do you crochet? There are tutorials on RUclips for crocheted bands with buttons that you wear on the back of your head with the ear loops over the buttons. I probably didn't explain that well. I made a pile of them and sent them to my daughter's MIL, who is a nurse. She passed them out to co-workers and everyone loved them. I need to make more for her. Thanks, Wendy! I'll check out honey. Blessings all!!!!!
I liked all of them! I think my favourite is the ~athletic one cause I've never seen one with ear loops like that and I think it's a great idea! I also love the super frilly pink one : )
I loved the idea of the ribbon.
Love this video at least I can give some cute masks as stocking stuffers this year thanks
wait that mask with the bow is CUTE AF! i'm about to buy some fabric just so i can make those
Loved this. I bought some “mermaid” fabric to go over my mask. It’s going to be like the strawberry one but shimmery. I’m also making all sorts of Halloween masks.
OMG, you are so beautiful and elegant and I loved your masks ❤️
