Remember back-in-the-day when kids were getting ready to go out for Halloween and masks were discouraged in favour of face paint. Boy have times changed!
I've tried a new face mask pattern. This one is the Aplat-Mask, it's an origami design.
This is the first one I've made of the origami design and so far the only complaint I have is the elastic cord that I used. That's an easy fix. And the only reason is that I wear glasses and it's just too bulky with an elastic cord and the arm of the glasses competing for top-of-the-ear real estate. Otherwise, it's a great fit.
The pattern calls for two layers of canvas fabric. Instead, I used two layers of printed quilting cotton plus one layer of white cotton. If you don't feel like sewing your own, you can purchase a ready-made one from their website.
Project Details
Seams: 2.4 length straight stitch
Seam finish: No interior seam finishing but the outer edges were top-stitched.
Tips: There is no one perfect face mask pattern that will fit everyone since we're all different shapes and sizes and some of us wear glasses while some don't. So I won't endorse any of the face masks patterns that I've tried over the others. The best that I can tell you is to experiment and find your best fit.
