This is my fourth pattern to be released from my New Collection of Face Mask Patterns with Nose Bar and 2 Filter Options. This is a new shape I am experimenting with. It is similar to some of the patterns already available out on the internet. I have tried several of these patterns, but I was not happy with the fit, hence I have adapted it to give it a better fit.
I will be only showing you how to achieve the mask using option 1 in this tutorial, the conventional filter lining. If you have watched and made my last mask, then this is going to be an easy one for you.
If you want to have the Reverse Filter Option, then I suggest you to watch the Cover Mask Tutorial or the Basic 1 Piece Mask Tutorial, and skip to the 2nd half of the tutorial to see how option 2 is applied.
I know a lot of people have managed to adapt the pattern to put their own filter lining in, but this is more of a tutorial aimed at those that don’t know how to adapt the pattern, or if you are a beginner and want to try out another design.
Disclaimer: This not a medical grade face mask. Please, do your own research for the type of materials you will need, and adapt it to my designs. I am only supplying the patterns and showing you how to construct the mask.
Let’s Start!
- Measure from the top of the mask pattern (Leaving seam allowance out) to the bottom of the mask pattern. The mask should sit around the bridge of your nose to about just over 3 cm under your chin.
- Otherwise the other method is to print off the paper pattern.
- Cut the pattern out of paper, on the fold, or staple it together.
- Make sure the seam allowance is tucked away as if it is sewn.
- Fold away the elastic channel.
- Fit it to your face. This way it is better than sewing one up and realising you need another size. I am not able to give you the finished measurements because everyone has different level of sewing skills and will be using different fabric thicknesses.
- The files now have imperial measurements.
Download by clicking on the size you require. Remember to download the envelope if you want to use one. I am not able to make the envelope into a PDF file because it will be too large and will cause my website to crash. This is because my web hosting company cannot handle the downloading traffic. Last time it caused my site to be down for 3 days! For now, it will be a JPEG file.
When printing (Ideally on A4 International Paper) all patterns should be printed 100% scale with No Scale to Fit Page/Media. The envelope should be printed Landscape and Fit Page/Media to not waste space on the paper.
Here is a little gift for you to keep your patterns together and organised. Lookout for the other designs.
All you need to do is cut it out and dab a bit of glue to the sides, wait for it to dry and you are good to go.
My final pattern in this collection will be rolling out very soon. I call it the Butterfly Mask. The pattern itself looks like a butterfly. It is another mask for that extra coverage and also spacious around the mouth area, made in a similar way to this mask. I just wanted to make the patterns available so everyone has access to at least one fitted mask, since not all masks suit or fit all face shape.

See you next time!

Hi Linda, I just went to have a look at both of the websites that sell this fabric. Kawaiifabric.com and modes4u.com. I think they have sold out. Every time I feature a certain fabric, it always sell out. So sorry. I hope they will restock soon. I will message the owner in the morning and see is they will restock. If I hear anything back, I’ll let you know.
Shannie I love your video–I’ve been making lots of these and would like to find out where you got the fabric with the line drawings of dogs? I looked on your link–but this is not listed. Can you help? Thanks in advance!
Thanks Martha. I am glad you liked it. Just trying to make patterns available so everyone is protected. Stay safe.

Hi Patricia, the pattern is complete but I can’t film in the balcony anymore. The heat is melting me! Also typhoon season. Try to set up in the corner of the living room in a small cramped house in Hong Kong. Please bare with me.
Can’t wait for butterfly mask. My sister in law Birthday is coming. She has a Beautiful Gown that’s shape like a butterfly when she spreads her arms.
