Supplies:
For every 30” length of fabric (based on approx. 45” width) you can make 5 masks.
Cutting Instructions:
For the main part of your mask cut a rectangle of your fabric that is 7.5”x15”
For the ties for your mask cut two pieces that are 1.5” wide by 36” long.
Instructions for Constructing the Mask:
Fold the fabric, right-sides together, matching up the short ends. Your piece should now be about 7.5” x7.5”. Using a 1/4” seam allowance, sew along the short edge making sure to backstitch at both ends. Turn your piece right-side out and iron your seam and your folded edge so they lay flat.
