Stylish Face Masks (Free Face Mask Patterns)

"Learn how to make a DIY mask with this easy tutorial. Here I will show you how to make 2 styles of face mask with numerous variations including filter pocket or no filter pocket and different strap options. Style 1 is a pleated style that is great for beginners and hand sewers. Style 2 is a shaped style that has a printable pattern piece. This tutorial has instructions for using a sewing machine or hand sewing. "
Notes: In settings where professional/medical-grade face masks are not available, the general public is encouraged to wear face coverings: "The CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies) especially in areas of significant community-based transmission."
This was named a top face mask of the year! With the easy-to-follow instructions, video, and customization options, it was a favorite of AllFreeSewing readers this year, and rightly so.
