*NEW* 3D Shield Mask Design! Easy Pattern with NO Seams, Stitches, or Holes on the Mask Front!
Hello Shiny, Crafty People! Welcome back! Today I'm showing off a BRAND NEW 3D mask design I created!
The 3D Shield Mask has NO STITCHING, HOLES, OR SEAMS across the face of the mask. Plus, it's virtually one size fits most, which means you can feel confident most people can wear what you make.
I have really enjoyed this design because it is so easy to make!!!
Check out the diagram (which is meant to be cut on the fold of fabric) for the 3D Shield Mask here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xDM4...
And here's a smaller version for tinier faces: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i249...
Here's what you'll need to make this mask:
An outer fabric
An inner fabric
Fabric for the inner-inner layer (if you desire 3 layers)
Matching thread (if desired)
Elastic
Silicone Toggles for the elastic (if desired)
Some type of nose wire or bridge (if desired)
Paper to make the template (or freezer paper)
Iron
Sewing Machine
Scissors or Rotary Cutter
Here's where I buy my elastic: https://www.amazon.com/Elastic-Shed-P...
Here's where I buy my silicone toggles: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08...
If I'm not recording a video, I can make one of these masks in about 8 minutes.
If the mask as originally designed is a bit too big, you can always find an "in-between" size by using a bigger seam allowance. Try a 3/8" seam allowance rather than a 1/4" allowance.
THE RATINGS:
I rate this mask a 7/10 for comfort since it's so tight on my face (which it's supposed to be to keep the air from flowing out the sides)
I rate this mask a 10/10 for utility or efficacy, because it creates such a good seal.
And as for ease of sewing, I rate it a 9/10.
Have fun making this cool & easy mask and, until next time, stay crafty!!
