Thank you soooo much! I have been doing extensive research on cloth face masks (from effectiveness of materials and techniques, to various styles & sewing methods). Of the nearly 100 videos/articles/etc. I have researched, your 2nd technique in this video is by far the ABSOLUTE BEST method I have come across - time effective with fewer steps & fabric pieces, efficient and clean cut finish. AMAZING -THANK YOU! I will definitely be adapting your 2nd technique (sans interfacing) to my prototypes moving forward. If KZitem gave out awards, I would surely give you one :)

Rai Dal-Bak I was an inspector working with an endless array of toxic materials and PPE...I have extensive certifications in all types of filtration and protection regarding toxic materials. Obviously, we are very limited with making her own mask, but we truly can get quite a bit of protection with what we have at hand.The Olsen mask is the best way to go and using a HEPA filter which you can buy in the form of a HEPA vacuum bag or the highest grade/efficient furnace filter that you can find and cut it to at least the size of the pocket. One of the other most important things is that it has to be breathable. Sometimes you have to choose the filter without putting interfacing in because it may be to many layers to be breathable. You don’t want moisture in your mask and sweating isn’t a good thing, so it can’t be too thick and heavy. You can get the appropriate filtration and still have a lightweight mask. You can also double the interfacing without a filter. There’s all kinds of options but the HEPA filter is the best way to go for the most protection, even if that means leaving the interfacing out. The other thing that makes a huge difference is if you seal around the area of the filter with double stick tape that is safe for skin. They sell an adhesive tape for bra straps and wardrobe/clothing that works perfectly. You get the most protection by putting an entire square around where the pocket and filter is with the tape, but at the very least, Putting a piece of double stick tape along your nose at the top gives you quite a bit of added protection. Not to diminish this video, but it is better to put elastic around the top and bottom up the sides to go around your head as opposed to over the ears. Ultimately you’re looking for the best seal all the way around not to mention comfort. It is best to use light weight, 100% cotton and sew in interfacing as opposed to fusible. There is adhesive in the fusible interfacing and that’s going to inhibit breathing to an extent, Not to mention that you don’t want any other funk or possibly toxic goop in the mask.I won’t get into explaining it all and I know it might sound counterintuitive but the filter is what you’re looking for for the most protection even if it’s only a couple layers of interfacing. Interfacing is bonded and not woven which means it filters quite a bit more.. Hope this helps.❤️

Mafresita: Hi. Sorry for late reply, for some reason KZitem didnt notify me that I had a reply to my comment. I found that 100% cotton of any kind worked best, which includes cotton-flannel (which is just a brushed surface, not a blend of textiles). Thats just my personal preference. I was careful to cut my pieces a little larger to account for shrinkage after the initial wash, b/c my cotton fabrics are not pre-washed. I hope I answered your question ☺️

Gretchen Wenzel: Hi. Thank you for your extensive feedback and insight! I like learning new things and you provided a wealth of info; your profession as an inspector sounds so fascinating. My concern, esp. because I am also making masks for children (which includes a child who has had pulmonary issues in the past), has been potentially breathing in toxic materials that are used as filters or directly touching the face. I’ve decided to play it safe by allowing users to insert their filter of choice considering different ppl’s sensibilities, also now that allergy season is currently upon us. Thank you again for your feedback. Stay safe!

Rai Dal-Bak Oh my gosh… I am in the same situation that you are regarding children. I have one son with a very poor immune system after having stage four cancer. A huge part of my job was knowing what was non toxic and that was a big part of my point that I probably didn’t convey well. Anything that I use in the masks that I making are hypoallergenic and non-toxic.. Fortunately, if people choose to use furnace filters almost all of them don’t have fiberglass in them, anymore but it’s easy to tell from the package. The HEPA vacuum bags Are equally safe, as well.I was trying not to go on and on in my comments, but there’s much more than I could share with you that will make it much more protective. We all know one thing is that we want to help and support each other in anyway we can during these times and do the best that we can. Thank you so much for your video. Oh! One thing is do not use pins while you’re making a mask! If you’re interested in more info re: a few simple things to make them more efficient/protective...let me know. The one thing that I didn’t want to do was to take away from your video.It was truly well done. Thank You!💕

I don't know if you need written instructions (like I do!) but here they are: 1. Fuse interfacing to front pieces (or to liner). 2. Sew centres of liner and fronts along the curved edge with a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Press open. Option, but highly recommended to keep mask shape: Press the top seam to one side. Topstitch about 1/8' from centre seam to incase the seam allowance. 3. Fold over side edges on fronts and liner twice in 1/4 " folds. Sew close to edge. 4. With the right side of outer fabric face up, pin liner with right side down, matching centre top and bottom seams of the curved edge. Sew along top and bottom with 1/4 " SA. Backstitch at edges as this will take the stress when inserting filter. 5. Fold the sides of top piece inwards, with right sides together, overlapping the edges of the liner about 1/4 inch or so. Just follow the curve of the fabric and it fits along nicely. 6. Sew along tops and bottoms, with backstitching at inner edges for strength. Press. 7. Turn right side out. Press well!. 8. Top stitch around entire mask. 9. Cut 7" of elastic (or tshirt tie) Sew ends together. 10. Insert ends of mask. Fold the ends over the elastic 1/2 inch. 11. Sew close to the edge. Avoid sewing the elastic by pushing the elastic away from the edge you'll be sewing along. 12. Determine what you will be using for metal piece along top of nose. 13. You can fuse two small pieces of interfacing over the metal piece. 14. Push inside mask up as far as you can to the top of the mask. Sew a little box around the metal piece (start near top, pivot, sew along bottom, pivot and sew upwards. Backstitch at beg. and end. Metal piece is optional. You could also make a box and leave one end open to insert/remove a wire. The mask turns out really nice!! UPDATE: I clip the curved edges. I don't use elastic. Instead I use adjustable slip knot ties. I also sew a channel at the top wide enough for a metal strip instead of a separate pocket. Less steps.

Interfacing is a non woven material. Usually put into shirt collars to make them stiffer, and to hold the shape better. For a face mask, it is added, because it’s less permeable than cotton. (ie woven fabric has tiny spaces between threads) Adding interfacing will be an extra layer of protection. But many people make masks with out interfacing too.* Still a useful mask for when out in public area. (Not for use in a hospital.) Also if you make a pocket, as in this video, a separate piece of Non Woven material can be tucked into the pocket for added protection. Coffee filter paper, cut to fit, is sometimes used. This filter is then removed, after each use, discarded and replaced as needed. Interfacing and filters are extras, but not essential. *So to your question, YES, you can leave out the interfacing.

First off, thank you so much to this lovely lady, I've never watched this channel before but you are very good at demonstrating your craft, and thank you for making the pattern freely available. You did a really cool and helpful thing so blessings to you. This is very do-able! Try it! I promise! I only really have experience with embroidery stitches and no sewing machine or sewing experience but I still made this by hand, would definitely recommend, use a cotton item in your household like an old pillowcase (what I did). Honestly with some scissors, the pattern and a needle and thread this was very easy to do and would I would absolutely recommend it, very very well fitted. In quarantine especially, a glass of wine and movie in the background makes making this very relaxing and rewarding. If you want it more structured you can use an extra layer of cotton material in lieu of "interfacing" which you may not have on hand. I didn't do this extra layer my first try and it worked out fine but each to their own.

Thank you for this tutorial! It was very easy and time saving. The nose piece I did a little different. I cut a 2 x 5 piece of fabric and pressed in half lengthwise. This piece can be cut on the bias which makes it a little easier to apply around the curved top but doesn't have to be. I didn't and has no issues applying to the curved edge but that would depend on the type of fabric using too. Turned short ends in 1/4" pressed and stitch. Fold in half creasing with fingers. Add the crease line to top of liner seam line, pin to keep in place then stitch the bottom only. The top will get closed when the liner and main front is stitched together. The sides will be open so pipe cleaners, coffee bag ties, wire or nose brace can be added. I've made a few already and added the coffee bag ties I had on hand because currently waiting on nose wires.

I watched another video where it said you can trace and follow along the lines adding an extra 1/4th inch out. I’m sure there’s a way to scale it on the computer too

Brilliant adaption of Olson mask! I have been making these the traditional way. I have sewn plain (no interfacing) for use with a filter insert. Also, I have fortified with medium weight fusible nonwoven interfacing the main and mouth pieces (not cheek) for non med use. Most folks who need a mask don't have a filter, so the 2 layers of interfacing and w layers of fabric provides excellent protection. This Olson mask is my preferred pattern (and I may use your adaptation). And you are correct....one CANNOT use a filter with 2 layers of fabric and 1 layer of interfacing (and definitely not two). So for med folks requesting these, omit interfacing. For regular folks, add another layer of interfacing to the mouthpiece. I stitch a channel in the top and insert the wire. As there is interfacing on both pieces, it fits snugly in the channel. Thanks for presenting your method! (P. S. as elastic is hard to come by, I cut 1" width of fabric and use my bias foot to make tie which forms loop at top of mask.

Why are you using interfacing? IS it for added "thicknesss" or for a "filter" effect? Can I just make wihout it.?

I gave up on interfacing long ago. I just use a high count white queen size sheet, cut out an extra layer of the pattern and use that. As per articles I've read, the high count sheet is excellent to use.

Thank you for this pattern and tutorial video, greatly appreciated. One thing to clarify is that when you cut the interfacing, you should cut 2 from 2 layers so you have a mirror image of the interfacing. Otherwise it doesn't connect as you show in the video. It worked out though, because you still sew these sides together so it's not that big of a deal but I got worried before I saw it worked out. Hope that makes sense. Again, thanks for a great pattern & tutorial.

Thank you for sharing this amazing simplified pattern and tutorial! I am wondering what kind of fabric you used for your masks? Did you use the interfacing as an additional protective layer or just for structure? Thanks!!

Perfect, with the exception of the interfacing. 🥺 Fusible interfacing can cause decreased airflow due to the way the adhesive blocks the weave of the cotton. If you want to add a stabilizer, using a polypropylene NON fusible interfacing will give you more body and likely do more to help create a filtering function (not currently researched so that's only a guess). That said, my Mom made me 3 variations with only 2 or 3 layers of cotton and cotton seersucker, and they work wonderfully for a full day of work at the pharmacy. Infinitely less irritation around the jaw, and knowing the research I feel confident with her fabric layering process. Thank you for sharing and explaining for determined folks like my Mom who want to do more to take care of the people in their lives while they can't be out and about.

I believe that the fusible is much better and safer. It is only one layer and not heavy. I have no problem breathing through it.

@@heathermckee3433 Like I said, nothing with interfacing has actually been used in any study, including those awaiting peer reviews, so we don't really know the effects. If it works for your trips out, that's great for you. I'm working full shifts in a chain retail pharmacy, which is why I shared the conditions in which I've used the ones made for me. My concerns regarding the fusible interfacing comes from the thought of wearing it all day and my own experience and training in costume and props production that I got a degree in (yay for getting a degree in a career area where work is limited). What we currently understand from studies awaiting peer reviewing is that 3 layers of tighter woven cotton is a better option than 2, but could cause breathing difficulty if worn for a long time leading to hypoxia or moving the mask in ways not falling within hygienic use, both of which causes user risk.
