I'm a 77 year old male and live alone and can not sew at all. The number of virus cases increase daily in the county I live in. This mask is the easiest and most comfortable mask to make and wear. Jan you have an excellent presentation and I want to thank you for showing everyone how to make such a nice mask.

This is the best fitting mask I have EVER worn in my 27 years of having to wear them for work! I hate the straps around my ears and I just could never get them to fit properly. I have a tiny head and face so the sinching of the material on the side ensures that I don't get the gapping either.... Seriously love this mask.... I'm sure you could find a way to sew this as well but for now it's a great idea. You should patten it right now!

You're just creating more anxiety and panic when you're nothing but negative. Next time, lead with the positive and then say, "in addition to that, to make it more effective, you can place a filter in it as well." & then give researched examples of some.

Or use the baby clothes(Salo) or Muslin cotton 2 layers that are more effective of preventing germ than regular cotton or polyester. Cheer up everyone from Thailand.

I bought 3 types and made one hand sewn all were sweaty, uncomfortable on nose and ears or rubbed too close to my eyes. So $80 later and lots of frustration. I made this for $1 with a xxl adult tee from Dollar Tree. Ty for sharing this and presenting it so clearly. This is so well fitting and so soft and comfortable and easy. Can adjust as needed I add 2 thin disposable layers of Toolbox disposable shop towels making this higher protection then a N95 mask. How clever you are! Blessings!

@michaelb.9876 4 жыл бұрын

@Bar Rez An N95 mask (or even a P100 mask, for that matter) can provide no more protection than an ordinary surgical mask without passing the OSHA mandated face seal check that must be performed prior to each wearing. Do the shop towels really stick so well to both the skin and the mask that they can actually provide an effective air tight face seal? (Certainly none of the earlooped "NK95" masks you're seeing all over the place nowadays do - some of which barely test out as equivalent to "N10" (if there were such a thing), or even "N05", many due merely to their use of earloops instead of headbands that can be tightened securely enough to assure an effective seal.

My thoughts exactly..even some super glue on the folds would stop it from falling apart. I'm clumsy and talk a lot. Thin pieces of polyester inside would be best.

My wife, daughter and I each made some of these this past weekend. It was super fun, and you're right, Jan, these are SO COMFY. I took an old t-shirt that was very soft, and it turned out its fabric was so good for this that my wife cut some of that shirt to use on her mask, for straps. She suggested we glue-gun the straps to the mask, and we put a couple of beads on the folds too. It keeps everything together so we can just grab the masks and go. The glue is not required, of course, but it was an added touch. I wore the mask on my 1/2 hour bike ride and it was comfortable the whole time. Thanks so much for this great DIY recipie, Jan!

Fits great, adjustable and looks good. And I did sew it a bit, to cement the parts down so they don't shift. Still workable and awesome, good for trips to the grocery store.

Great idea! You can also use the sleeves and run the strip ties inside the sleeves through the open areas. Then tie it off for ear loops or head loops. The open holes would be top(nose)/chin(neck), but these would be cinched/tight. This way there's nothing loose dangling inside your mask.

I like how it comes under the chin. Suggestions: Use a few dabs of hot glue, if you have it, to hold those folds shut. Also, I am using pipe cleaners or other bend-able wires above the nose to shape that top part to close any gaps around the nose. It works! Thanks for the video.

PROS: it is easy to make and very comfortable CONS: I tried wearing it for an hour and if you pull it down just once it starts to come apart. By the end of my walk it came undone and I had to take it off. If you can sew a little, just sew the top (nose area) where the fabric is folded over itself. I think this will keep it together longer. Be sure to test it before going into a crowded, public place.

Hello Jan and thank you for posting this simple mask, and step by step process. It is amazing and so easy to make. I made two of your masks following your exact instructions and they work very well. However because I can so sew, I did take it a step further and I sewed the top and bottom to finish off the edging and then I sewed the sides so that the tubing would stay in one place. Very versatile and so simple, I never would’ve thought to use T-shirt material. I have four masks and every time I go out now I just put it in the laundry when I get home. I find these wash really well in a lingerie bag and you can stick it in with the rest of the laundry. THANK YOU SO MUCH! It’s people like you, willing to share their talents and knowledge that allow others like me, to get things done right.

Also I’d find double sided Hollywood tape or similar to get it griped tight over the nose bridge, no gaps. Then glasses on. I’m off to make some now. Very good design for everyone. Thank you.

I can only hand stitch, I sure can thread that needle in the sewing machine. I have a decent sewing machine my mom bought my daughter a really nice sewing machine but she never used it (wanted to, nana was busy with work ) and I KNOW I could learn now. I AM going to learn , otherwise everyone’s in FL is getting a T shirt made from ALL the nice new shirts I have never worn, but HAD to have. Oh my gosh, I just developed a huge lump in my throat, my Daddy and my best friend passed away and he has so many polos many new, many hardly worn, new T shirts etc. I think to carry on his legacy I will get all the new clothes we bought before he passed T shirts, polos and such and make life saving masks! Love your video and spirit. RIP Daddy 3-3-2020 You were there as I took my very breath into this world. I was there as you took your very last as you left it! ❤️ I miss you so much!

Michelle Weagle it’s definitely a good starting point but unfortunately doesn’t offer hardly any protection on its own. I’ve been using a super wide stretchy headband myself for running but doubled over AND with an additional more protective layer underneath. The headband makes a great outer layer for running - or just in general - as I find it super comfy but do add something else underneath the area that goes over your nose & mask. Stay well!🔆

Also: You can use Cotton stretch leggings instead of long t-shirts.(Edit: This is a 2 layer version for those with heat or breathing issues.) I cut the bottom hem off and used it vertically, like a tube, to my face. With this you can even put a filter or piece of paper towel in the tube part. Then you put the long ties through the tube, one on each side. You can then tie them around your ears but don't cut the extra length because you may want to tie them around your head instead. Thank you so much for this video! I can't sew anything except a button!

Hi, I'm a sewer ( that means I sew and I'm am not a drain lol, that's a radio 2 joke, sorry) But this is a really good way to make a quick no fuss mask. I'd be tempted to run a line or two of stitches up the middle of the mask so you can safely throw it in the washing machine without it falling to pieces, but as Jan has demonstrated it's not needed if you can't or don't want to. I've made a couple of the other t-shirt mask patterns available and as Jan says they tend to bulkier and this one looks and feels better. So thanks to Jan for this one. Take care, don't take risks and stay safe everyone, for all our sake's.
