How to Make a Shaped Face Covering

Project by Sew Jessali

Click here for the full project.

Create your own mask at home with a few basic sewing techniques! You’ll be able to make a shaped, comfortable face covering with your pick of patterns or colours. The best fabric to use for your homemade face covering is tightly woven 100% cotton.

Use with our homemade ear savers for added comfort. The tutorial can be found here.

All seam allowances 10mm unless stated otherwise.
