Kudos to owner of this video who graciously uploaded a full, easy to follow video tutorial on making this 3D face mask. She has also generously provided a link to the PDF pattern so you guys don't have to reconstruct the pattern from her measurement. ON TOP OF that, she has also provided a link to another youtube video which has all other sizes. THE LEAST we can do, is READ the description/caption and not come up with unnecessary question like 'can you send me the PDF'
I just realized after reading all the comments on your page, we finally have something that connects us all over the world. I do not think we ever did before. It is a positive thing when we can connect for the better. Thanks for your connection. God Bless.
I am a super amateur sewer, and I made this perfectly first try! This has to be the best mask design ever... It really doesn't leave fog on my glasses! It's amazing!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing!

I’m just writing to thank you for posting this wonderful and useful video. The pdf pattern is perfect the instructions very clear. We’ve done our first pieces and each has turned out perfect. I’m sure you are saving many lives. Thanks su much.
Thank you so much for offering this to us free. I made more than 300 masks at the beginning of the pandemic but those who wear glasses have trouble with fogging their glasses. I'll make more of these for my family.
I really love this mask pattern and tutorial, thank you for sharing. I have just finished sewing my third mask with this pattern, which were all sewn by hand. 💛
This mask is by far my favorite mask! It's so comfortable, looks fantastic, doesn't slide down my face as much, and doesn't fog sunglasses or glasses. Thank you so much for sharing!
Just a note to all asking for PDF. That down arrow is for all info and links for all and anyone uploading a youtube video. Click it on anything you watch and you will find everything from link to the music to brands of paints and yes, the PDF for this mask. I’m 65 and wonder what happened to the curiosity of people or do some just slam back questions never reading? Despite the big www out there I’m amazed. Ive been online since my first computer didn’t have a hard drive or a mouse. The world is at your fingertips. Explore it. Stop making people help you all the time. Just look! I’m not being sarcastic of mad but this person is spending a lot of time giving you this for free. Dont’ waste their time.
Please forgive my ignorance but what "down arrow" are you referring to? On my PC I see no down arrow anywhere above the comment section. If you can help me find that I am greatly appreciative.
I don't see any 'down' arrow and had no problem getting the PDF using the first link under "Link to download the PDF pattern here" (the one above the men's size.) A bit complicated to cut and sew, but if it fits well, it will be worth it.
This is an excellent mask, and I've made many different styles! It really does prevent glasses from fogging for me. Well designed and beautifully presented. I will try out your filter pocket version next, then make them for all my glassses-wearing friends. Thank you so much Thuy!
I love this pattern! I'm a teacher and need to do a lot of talking while wearing a face mask - this pattern allows me to talk clearly without the mask slipping. It does give me a pointy face 😆 but I can put up with that in return for comfort and functionality! Thanks for sharing!
I've made masks from many different RU-vid videos, and this is the best. The engineering to create that nosepiece that also hugs your face on the side is truly brilliant. There is talk in the media about wearing two masks in order to get your face snugly covered, but if you sew and design, you can meet this goal with one well-designed mask. And this mask pattern is the place to begin, believe me. The fabric used in the video seems tissue-thin, and I wanted to address that. I found that using a slightly heavier cotton fabric eliminated the neat way the sides of the nosepiece lay against your face -- they now sort of stood up like a sail. So I worked up a lining -- a third piece of fabric, closely-woven cotton. It's cut to fit the bottom half of the mask only, and is sandwiched in with the two pieces that form the mask. This gave me the thicker fabric on the bottom half over my nostrils and mouth. Big help in making this mask: Clover Wonder Clips and a walking foot attached to your sewing machine.
Thank you so much for this wonderful design, it greatly reduces the glasses fogging, and I love the casing for the elastic which lets me replace and adjust the elastic when I need to. I also LOVE that this mask leaves space between my mouth and the fabric!! So much more comfortable and easy to talk! Perfect, perfect, perfect--thank you for sharing
Félicitation pour cet astucieux modèle de masque, confortable et joli. J’ai confectionné différents modèles de masque mais ceux que tous les amis choisissent ce sont les masques faits avec votre modèle. Je vous remercie d’avoir si bien réalisés votre tuto que l’on suit facilement. Dans certains cas il y a encore de la buée sur les lunettes mais moins qu’avec d’autres masques. Difficile de supprimer cet inconvénient. Merci ,merci beaucoup. Une grand-mère de France qui a fait 40 très jolis masques pour ses amis et sa famille, en suivant votre patron. Je viens de découvrir votre PDF avec toutes les tailles de ce masques, c’est super, je vais pouvoir en faire pour mes petits enfants
Thank you so much for sharing! I have now made two of your mask patterns for our daughter. They fit her face perfectly & her glasses don't fog up. Thank you for sharing your pattern & instructions for free with the world! 🙌🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Janet Shirley, I am a rookie when it comes to sewing and this video really confused me. I thought I was understanding everything until it got to the 5:00 mark. In the beginning of the video I noted that the fold of the fabric was along the top and didn't seem to be used--at the 3:40 mark, it looked like the far left side of the pattern was against a cut side, not a fold. But when she got to the 5:00 mark, it looked like she unfolded each piece--it looked so much wider, maybe twice as wide. I see that she sews the 2 pieces separately at that point, but I can't see how the pieces are so long/wide at that point. Did she change the placement of the pattern so that it WAS on a fold? I'm hoping that since you've already made the masks that you'll be able to tell me what I'm missing. I would be so very grateful if you could!
Barb F The fold of the fabric ends up in the centre of the mask. I see what you mean that the fold looks like it’s at the top at 3:40, I think that might be because she’s got two layers of folded fabric (so she’s cutting through four layers but it ends up as two full length pieces) I hope this makes sense 😊
@@meaghan1902 It makes perfect sense! Thank you so much! About an hour after I initially watched this, I stumbled on another video "Journal Research Review of Fabric..." showing the test results of safest fabrics based on scientific studies conducted at various universities, etc. Here's the link to it if you'd like to check it out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SS5LAUdLRwA.html It's too bad all this information wasn't available sooner, it's sure enlightened me about what fabric to buy! Again, thank you so much for helping me out.
Hôm nay chị vừa may kiểu khẩu trang nầy - nhưng thun chỉ dài 18 thôi và dưới càm chị chỉnh lại cho ngắn bớt 1cm thì chị đeo mới vừa - cảm ơn em nhiều lắm hihi
Looks easy. A few suggestions: Chain stitch whenever possible to eliminate so many stop-trim-starts. Add a layer of fusible interfacing to increase protection and keep it from getting sucked onto your face when you breathe. Use sewing clips instead of pins to eliminate holes. I'll try it today. Thanks.
I've bought some ear elastic for masks from Amazon, with some toggles to adjust the elastic around my head, altered your pattern slightly to make a mask to fit my hubbies bigger face and they are soooo comfortable to wear. I've made 2 with plain fabric and one with tartan. I can't wait to cut out some iron on vinyl and add my own design to the plain masks. Thank you so much for your pattern and clear instructions. 🙏🏼💕💕
Hi ArtBee... Hey - I'm just wondering how you altered the pattern? I've also purchased these toggle elastics from amazon, which I really love. But I've made this pattern twice now and haven't come up with a great way to sew these in? Did you reduce the length of the ends? Any help appreciated!!!
I have made many of these. I like them. I have made bigger and smaller versions too. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world! It was so interesting watching you draw out the pattern on the paper.
I LOVE this pattern. I shortened the elastic holders wings on the sides to about half as long and only cut them on the outside piece. On the inside piece I don't have them at all. It uses less fabric and it doesn't bunch as much. I've made about 400 of these masks - it's a wonderful pattern.
I’ve made this mask and I find that the bunch, seals my mask a bit better. I also cut it down to about half, because of the bunching. Thank you for making masks for others! :) you’re protecting us.
Merci beaucoup pour le partage. À 73 ans, comme je ne peux plus voyager en raison de la Covid, j'ai appris à coudre l'automne dernier. Je compte bien réalisr le masque suggéré pour les porteurs de lunettes. Je vous reviens lorsque ce sera fait. Encore une fois merci!
This is really nicely presented, the mask works a treat and even looks kinda groovy! I appreciate that you showed us how to make the pattern too, as I don't have a printer. Thank you :)
Best pattern and tutorial yet. Everyone I’ve made one for finds them easy to wear, no fiddling, great! I added length to the elastic and threaded the finished elastic through a bead so that the elastic can be adjusted to fit by the wearer.
Fogging likely also depends on the environment. I'm going to try this. My surgeon friend puts the same stuff that divers use on his glasses when he's operating. That might be a good thing to do too.
This has been the most comfortable and easy breathe face mask I've tried (5th attempt). I just need to modify how the elastic/straps fits around my ears. I think I need something that wraps around my head as this pulls my ears a bit. Perhaps my elastic is too short. Love the mask part.❤️💕
I can't get elastic here, so my husband offered up an old t-shirt. I've made strips of jersey (most stretch in the long direction) and am using that. I just cut the strip, pull it so that it curls, and use about 22.5 cm per loop (no stitching;finishing, I just leave the jersey as is.) It is soft and comfortable, might be worth a try for you :)
Or make a much longer loop that goes over your head and round your neck, then up on top of your head. It also means that if you need to take your mask off to eat or talk to someone with hearing problems, you can take the top loop off and back on without touching the mask.
orangudress me too! All complained of elastic and I got low. Need it for other projects. My daughter had given me a bag of all her teen type T-shirt’s. She’s 30 now! They are 60/40 cotton/polyester. I find the stretch on that good for ear ties. Ive been making pleated masks with side casings planning on the elastic to not hold up anyway. I send long ties with all my masks. My sister just ties it through the ear ties at work but doesnt use it all the time.
See my comment to Jacquie. I saw someone make adjustable ear ties using 2 beads. I may think about that but I just lop knot it and let anyone retire them or as noted, send a long string too.
For over the head: I use strips of 95%Cotton/5% spandex knit fabric that i have but an old tee shirt works well too. However, I use longer strips (approx 36 inches or 91cm). I cut the 1" wide strips and stretch them out so they curl in and it ends up looking like elastic cording. I then feed the cord through the mask starting at the bottom, up over the top of the mask, down through the other side of the mask. I then feed a pony bead using wire that I fashioned into a narrow U (I have jewelry wire - but a long twist tie would probably work too) and I feed both ends of the strips through the pony bead, one at a time. I tie the end of the strips together using a knot so the pony bead doesn't come off. You end up with two large loops that fit over your head. To Put it on: slip bottom loop (part that has pony bead) on over your head first, then slip top loop over head and then you can adjust the pony bead so the mask fits snuggly. Put top loop over your ears. It sits on your ears but doesn't pull on them.
Loved the design, will make for sure. please correct the slide (3:40 onwards) for pattern placement as it is not on the fold as it should be. Thanx for a very nice design. :)

@@kathypritchard7494 there is a link below the video to print out the pattern or follow along at the beginning of the video to ''draw'' the pattern yourself. Hope this helps!
I am making more masks like this as Australia fights intermittent clusters of the Covid virus. It the best one for wearing with glasses. I added a nose wire, which helps.
only thing is, it doesn't have a filter pocket, so unless your doing the cotton, poly-cotton and polly, it doesn't meet suggested requirements. (cotton being the layer on your face)
Hi! I've made two of these now and I'm REALLY happy with them... This is a great, easy, fast pattern. Do you have a PDF of this for kids? Or should I just reduce the scale when printing? 80%? Thank you for this great pattern!!!
