Face masks aren’t going away any time soon. Learn how to hand sew a face mask at home and make a fashion statement while you’re at it!

What you need

  • How to hand sew a face mask at home
Shop the supplies

Fabric

  • I used a non-woven fabric similar to what reusable grocery bags are made of
  • There are quite a few types of fabric that are deemed safe by the CDC

Elastic cord

  • I ended up sewing this cord in half lengthwise
  • Super comfortable around the ears

Pattern

  • I used this pattern
  • My head is small-ish, so I used the small pattern. If you have a bigger face, use the larger of the two patterns

Needle and matching thread

  • I chose a thread color that matched my fabric
  • I hand-sewed this mask, but it would be a much zippier job on a sewing machine

Scissors

  • Fabric scissors work best here, but any scissors will do

How to make

  1. Trace pattern four times
  2. Cut out pieces of fabric
  3. Erase any trace lines
  4. Thread your needle and knot the end of the thread
  5. Hand stitch the long edges of two pieces of the fabric
  6. Flip over and repeat
  7. Then, loop the thread to knot once you’re reached the end
  8. Cut thread and repeat with the other two pieces of fabric
  9. Snip slits in the fabric perpendicular to the edge you’ve just sewn
  10. Repeat on other fabrics
  11. Lay both halves together with stitched-sides facing out
  12. Stitch along the long edge
  13. Flip over and continue stitching
  14. Loop thread to knot once you reach the ends
  15. Cut thread and repeat on the other long edge
  16. Snip corners in the center to reduce any bulk
  17. Turn inside out
  18. Fold in edges on both sides
  19. Stitch along the long edge
  20. Loop thread to knot once you reach the ends
  21. Repeat on the other side
  22. Place elastic into the folded edge and stitch in place
  23. Repeat on the other side
  24. All done!
