Due to popular request, here is a written/typed version for those that have trouble following video instructions and rather written/typed notes. The notes may not be very detailed compared to the video tutorial, but should give you enough information to construct the masks. I have created both filter linings for you to download.
Click the picture on the right to download the patterns required. Print at 100% on

If you prefer a video tutorial,
you can find it in the link.
The video tutorial and the photo tutorial are not always instructed exactly in the same steps.
Before we start, please note:
Pre-wash all fabrics and pre-treat all interfacing if you decide to use any.
Always back stitch the beginning of the stitching and end of the stitching. I will not be prompting you on this.
Main fabric is the outer layer. Usually with a chosen pattern.
Lining fabric is the layer behind the main fabric. Usually the 2nd or middle layer.
The Filter Lining slot is usually the 3rd layer.
Either next to the mouth or the layer that keeps the replacement filter in the mask.
Be sure to follow or subscribe to ShannieMakes on Facebook, Instagram or YouTube Channel for updates. Facebook is probably easier for me to update everyone since I can add links and folders in there.
Hope this helps? The next set of instructions will be out soon. Cover Mask with 2 filter options.
See you in my next blog.

Disclaimer/Please take note: My face masks do not replace medical/surgical face masks. These are also not designed to be used on babies or toddlers. Supervision is a must on small children. These are face masks with basic filtration. It is good for dust particles and maybe blocking out some odours.
You are welcome to download and use my patterns to make items for friends, family, neighbours, or even to sell. I only ask of you to help me share or credit me and state where you got the patterns from.
Hi Leslie, glad you have found a pattern want your grandchildren like. Make sure you post it on my facebook page: shanniemakes to show the world what you have made. Stay safe x
I can’t wait to start making these masks for my 5 yr old and 2 1/2 yr old grandchildren! Their pre-k and daycare require that they wear masks all day. They’ll love this style with all the cute kid’s fabric I have on hand. Thank you so much for sharing your talents!
