Snug Fit Face Mask Video Tutorial

Well, I am still sewing face masks, though mainly I made to giveaway to friends and families. And now as the weather is getting more humid and hot, we need several masks to wear throughout the day, right?

I've been making the above-pictured snug fit face masks and I shared the templates and video tutorial on my Youtube Channel.

This snug-fit face mask is comfortable to wear. I like to wear it when I do my daily chores. As I have quite bad dust allergies, I need to wear a mask even when I cut fabrics and sew. The snug-fitted face mask has pleats on the sides so that there's no gap and also helps in creating 3D shape and makes you breathe easily.

These are other Extra spacious face masks I made recently. This mask style is my boys' favorite cos they don't feel suffocated when they wear it. And this is a great mask to wear as an outer layer with your disposable mask.

I also made these pretty Indian print 3D masks that were a custom order. I made extra for myself too as I love the prints and this is my fave mask style. But on these masks, instead of having the elastic go through the casing, I simply sew in the elastic. The fabrics are very soft and I use either poplin or cambric cotton for the lining.

Looks like the face mask is here to stay. Personally, I like wearing a face mask when I go out even before the pandemic. And now with new Covid19 variants discovered almost every week, I would not feel safe without a face mask even if  I got vaccinated. I believe by protecting myself, I am protecting my family and my society.

Free Pattern : Pleated Face Mask with Filter Pocket

Thank you so much for your overwhelmed response to my mask tutorial/pattern. That was a pretty simple one. Many asked me to make a pleated mask with a pocket for a filter which is very necessary especially during this COVID19 Pandemic. 

In the past few days I've been making masks (with and without filter) for family, friends, and people around me. Masks are not available now and hence people resort in fabric masks. I'm very touched reading so many stories of our sewing community come together and donating masks to the hospital. I am donating a few to a nursing home near my house, they have been a great help for us for years. It's time to show our support to those who are on the front line.

UPDATE

I got a few questions regarding the pocket esp from beginners, so here's the easier way to do it. I just use a screenshot here, which I hope clear enough. I already updated the file in the shops, so if you download it on 27th March at 10PM IST you should get the new one. If not, feel free to download again or simply save the photos here:

Feel free to email me if you have any doubts :)

I hope this pattern will be beneficial for you all. I will try to add video as soon as I get time to edit it. meanwhile,you can simply click the button below and download the pattern.
