Four more 3-layer face masks came off the work table and have been gifted. For this project I revisited the Aplat face mask pattern, available here for free download. They are made with a Japanese cotton that has been in my stash for many, many moons. These actually have the wrong side of the fabric showing, as it was requested.
The masks are not sewn as per instructions. I opted for elastic instead of a cord and inserted the elastic after all the top-stitching, prior to folding, was completed. The website does make a point about elastic deteriorating after washing but these will be hand washed.
Easy peasy make and a comfortable fit.

ReplyDeleteI really like the Aplat fit, and use elastic loops around the ears as well.
