SUPPLIES:• ¼ yd. fabric• Elastic
STEPS:1. Cut 15" x 8" piece of fabric.
2. Fold fabric in half and sew in 3 inches on each side, leaving open space in middle for filter.
3. Bring seam to center.
4. Cut two 7" pieces of elastic. Place a piece of elastic between layers of fabric on each side of mask, pinning ends at corners.
5. Sew edges.
6. Turn piece right side out and press.
7. For pleats: Place pins, starting 1" from bottom on either side. Continue placing pins with the following spacing: 1", ½", 1", ½", 1". These pleats are important, because they help the mask expand completely to cover your nose and chin.
8. Fold pleats and match up pins.
9. Sew around piece, close to edge.
