Hello Shiny, Crafty People! Welcome back! Today I'm showing off a FANTASTIC new BOX FRONT mask that needs no template! Just a simple rectangle that you clip the corners from.
I have really enjoyed this design because it is so easy to make!!! It's also got some great coverage if you want a mask to really cover your entire lower face.
Here's what you'll need to make this mask:
Fabric (you can choose different fabrics for each side if you want)
Matching thread (if desired)
Elastic
Silicone Toggles for the elastic (if desired)
Iron
Sewing Machine
Scissors or Rotary Cutter
Here's where I buy my elastic: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086V23BMJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Here's where I buy my silicone toggles: https://www.amazon.com/Silicone-Toggles-Drawstrings-Adjuster-Adjustment/dp/B08942V3NK/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=silicone+toggles&qid=1628005142&sr=8-5
If I'm not recording a video, I can make one of these masks in about 6 minutes.
If the mask as originally designed is a bit too big, you can always find an "in-between" size by using a bigger seam allowance. Try a 3/8" seam allowance rather than a 1/4" allowance.
OTHER SIZING FOR STARTING FABRIC:
Small Mask: 5" x 8"
Medium Mask: 6" x 8.5"
Large Mask: 7" x 9"
XL Mask: 8" x 10"
THE RATINGS:
I rate this mask a 9/10 for comfort
I rate this mask a 8/10 for utility or efficacy.
And as for ease of sewing, I rate it an 9/10.
Have fun making this cool & easy mask and, until next time, stay crafty!!
