Sewing masks!

Searched internet to get a pattern and ideas of what supplies I could use.  Whoola! found what I needed  There's so many good DIY videos.  Thanks to all the contributors.


I found my black elastic cord I use with my bullet journal inserts.  There were so many ideas on what to use for the metal piece around the nose.  I found these file thingies and they will work perfectly!



The pieces are double layered with a slip area for the metal pieces.  There's also a pocket to insert a filter.   Add cords and tie off.  I left the ties knots out so they can be fitted.  Sewing through the thick layers once you put the folds in was challenging, but overall I find sewing relaxing.
Sent these home to all my family members.  I'm working on 30 more today to give out to friends.  I'm using a much simpler pattern idea so I can make my elastic cord go further.  Using 7" per side as opposed to 10".   They won't have the metal nose piece nor the pocket for a filter.
