Face coverings! Something I never thought I would EVER become so familiar with... but having stitched over 700 for Seasalt and another 50 odd for friends and family, I thought some of you may find it useful to use the pattern I have developed and tweaked to ensure I could get one with a good fit!  


I tried a few of the open source patterns and in general the ones that claimed to be unisex were far too big for a female face ( and I have a big head! ) and needed more shaping, so I came up with the following pattern.


You will need:


Cotton fabric from the outer and lining in a high thread count, high quality cotton, with minimal shrink (less than 5%) or pre-shrunk at 60% before use. 100% cotton twill sateen is ideal for the lining, the kind you line curtains with.  

5 - 6mm elastic (6 or 8 cord woven is ideal)​ - 2 x 20 cm for ear elastics or 1 x 60 cm for head straps


Tools:

Thread

Rouleaux maker or safety pin to thread the elastic

Silcone or other type of toggle

Scissors

Pins


Construction is ever so simple but to help you along I videoed a quick tutorial which you can view here which talks you through how to use my pattern to make a face covering with / without a filter pocket and with either ear elastics or head straps depending on your preference and length of wearing. 


​Long term use with ear elastics can cause skin irritation and unless you specifically know you will be wearing for short periods or to go to the hair dresser I would strongly advice the head straps for secure fit and long term comfort!


A kids fit can be made by printing at 70% and a larger mans fit could me made by printing at 110%


Good luck and let me know how you get on!
