手縫いマスクの作り方

county からのお知らせに「手縫いマスクの作り方」がありました。

私は今のところ作る予定がないけど(材料がない)もしよろしければどうぞ。

もちろん米国ですので、図解とか写真とか一切ない、文字だけの作り方となっております(難易度高いな…)。

Supplies & step-by-step instructions for creating the hand-sewn masks.

Supplies

  • Mask: 2 pieces 6” x 9” of cotton fabric. You can use cotton fabric, cotton t-shirts, cotton sheets, etc.
  • Ties or Elastic: 2 pieces 1⁄4” or 1⁄8” flat elastic 7” long each, OR 2 pieces 7” long Rope
  • elastic or Beading Cord elastic, OR 2 pieces of 30” long Fabric ties*, OR 2 pieces of 30” long ribbon or bias tape.
  • Notions for project: shears, pins, sewing machine, tape measure, cotton thread.

Instructions for Mask

  •  Cut 2 pieces of fabric 9” x 6”.
  •  Lay ties on top of right side of the fabric. The process is the same for all the different type of ties.
  •  Place the second piece of fabric face down and pin at the corners.
  •  Beginning at the center of the bottom, sew to the first corner and back stitch to secure ties. Pivot and sew up to the next corner, back stitch. Repeat for all 4 corners. Leave approximately 2-3” gap for turning the right side out.
  • Turn right side out and press. Pin three tucks or pleats on each short side of the mask. Make sure the tucks are the same direction.
  •  Sew all the way around the mask, reinforcing the ends with the tucks. Cut fabric ties in half, if using fabric or bias tape, sew across the ends. DO NOT CUT ELASTIC TIES! If using ribbon, singe with a small flame.

Directions for fabric ties (if you are unable to use elastic or ribbon)

  • Cut a strip of fabric 1⁄2” x 30”.

  • Fold each long edge to the center and press.

  • Fold in half lengthwise and press again, stitch along the fold line.
