No Fog Facemask

Tools and materials:

• Paper
• Ruler
• Marker
• Scissors
• Fabric
• Elastic
• Sewing machine

Draft the pattern 

To make the pattern for this breathable facemask, I folded a piece of paper in half. I then marked 3.2 inches from the bottom of the paper. 

Then I drew a 5.2-inch horizontal line from that marking. 

Next, I drew a line down to the bottom of the folded paper and then marked a point 1.2 inches from the bottom of that line. I also marked 1.4 inches from the bottom on the other side of the small rectangle. 

Next, I marked 1.2 inches on the top line of the rectangle from the edge. 

I made sure to write the measurements on my pattern. 

I then drew a diagonal line to connect the two points on each side of the corner of the rectangle. 

I then drew a second diagonal line connecting the top marking to the marking on the other side of the rectangle. Once I had drawn the line, I drew a curve under it connecting the two points. 

I picked up a pair of scissors and cut out the pattern. 

Cut the fabric 

In the next step, I folded my piece of fabric over twice to make a smaller square. I placed the pattern on the fabric and cut it out so that I was left with two layers of fabric for the facemask. 

Sew the fabric

I then folded the fabric so that it was right sides together and sewed the short, diagonal lines next to the curve. 

Add the ear loops 

Next, I added the elastic ear loops to the facemask. I placed the two fabric layers, right sides together, and then put the elastic in between the layers with the loop facing inward. 

I stitched around the edges of the mask, sewing the elastic pieces in place as I stitched. I made sure to leave a small gap in between the elastic ends on one short side so that I could turn the mask. 

Turn and sew 

I turned the mask and neatly sewed closed the small gap. While I was at it, I decided to topstitch around the whole mask. 

This easy to make, the breathable facemask is just what I needed! What did you think about this no fog facemask DIY? Share your thoughts in the comments!
