How to Make Face Shield or Face Guard - Free Pdf Pattern

DOWNLOAD FREE PATTERN

I got a message from my sister in Indonesia that she needs face shield and asked me if I know someone who make and sell them. At this time like this, I wish I could make for her and my family back home. But we live so far away from each other. 

I told her it's easy to make one but then I am the only one who can sew (and my mom but she doesn't do much sewing nowadays).

So today, I am sharing this super easy tutorial for those who may need it to protect themselves and their families.

It's super easy and quick sew. I put together a PDF File with templates for you to download.

I used a thick (maybe around 0.8 mm) clear vinyl, the one that usually used for table covering. You can off course upcycle clear vinyl from new duvet or bed sheet  packaging, etc. The bias binding around the vinyl will stabilize it, if your vinyl is not thick enough.

I showed my SIL and she loved it. She wanted few for her Lab staff. I hope, I can get the vinyl as government has allowed certain business activities from tomorrow. Or else I have to wait until lock down is over on 3rd May. 

The face shield really remind me of Korean Ahjumma visors ^^. When I showed it to my friend, Eva, she said she needs one to use when she peels/cut onions. Well, now I guess I need one too ^^. 

Any way, I hope you like the tutorial. Please download the pattern using the link below. 

Thank you for your continued supports!

Easy Scrub Hat Patterns

Get the Pattern on Etsy

Hello,

I hope everyone is keeping well. I've been working on few pending patterns that are in my draft folder for a long time :D.

Creating pattern especially with templates takes time. From making samples, try it out, make sure the templates are correct, taking photos, editing and the tough part is writing the words! Many times, my brain freeze and I just had to leave it ^^.

I've been working for this banded scrub hat pattern for a couple of weeks. It's based on my original tutorial 9 years ago. I tweak the pattern to fit most adult with head circumference 58 cms or 23 inches and Kids size with head circumference 20-21 inch. 

This surgical cap pattern comes with full scale patterns in 2 sizes which you can easily print on your home printer. Everybody has different head size, so I added a tips on how to  scale up or down the scrub hat. For example, my SIL (who is a doctor) loves the hat to cover  most of the forehead, while my elder son (who has a big head with narrow forehead) prefer a slightly narrow hat. I prefer the narrow one to wear as underscarf but love the broader one to cover most of my head when I am cooking :). Oh yes, I wear head covering when I cook for hygienic reason. 

The pattern is available in my ETSY shop for minimal price. Or if you like simply click the button below this post to get one.
