⦅how to make face mask from patchwork⦆

If you're looking for a mask for yourself or others that are not treating COVID-19 patients, the CDC says homemade cloth masks can help slow the spread of the coronavirus. These fabric masks can help protect you in places like the grocery store or pharmacy where it's harder to keep a safe six-foot distance from other shoppers. This works best if everyone wears them because people who don't have any symptoms can still be spreading the virus through droplets when they cough, sneeze, or even speak. 
Before you make the face mask, you need to have:
    ⇢Sharp fabric shears
    ⇢Sewing needle and thread (needle size and thread weight depend on fabric)
    ⇢Ruler
    ⇢Marking pencils    
    ⇢Patterning material
    ⇢Sewing machine
 
⬩steps⬩
  1. Cut two layers of 9"x7" cotton fabric and one layer of 9"x7" non-woven interfacing
  2. Cut two 6" pieces of elastic (Note: Tubular elastic is best, but 1/8" elastic also works.)
  3. Stack the layers of fabric, with face of the fabrics facing each other and the filter layer on top
  4. Insert elastic between the top and lining layers 1/2” from top on the short sides, then pin
  5. Stitch both short sides with 1/2” seam allowance
  6. Sew top seam at 1/2" seam allowance
  7. Center nose piece in top seam allowance and stitch down
  8. Pin bottom, leaving 2-3” open at center
  9. Sew both sides of bottom from one part of seam to the pin and back stitch. Make sure not to pin the center gap
  10. Clip all 4 corners at an angle without cutting the stitch lines
  11. Turn right side out
  12. Pull corners out so mask forms a rectangle
  13. Fold bottom opening in to the same point as seam allowance
  14. Press all 4 sides
  15. Fold in half (top to bottom) then press
  16. Fold with top and bottom meeting at the center fold, then press
  17. Start from top and take press fold to halfway to the next fold line and pin. Continue for all 3 pleats, then press with iron
  18. Sew 1/4” top stitch around the entire mask, making sure to close the bottom opening
  19. Press pleats

Garrett A. Morgan Garrett Augustus Morgan was born in Paris, Kentucky, on March 4, 1877.
