Thanks so much for this video! I am an ED RN and have been trying to make masks since the Covid 19 pandemic started. I am really not a sewer so I was looking for a pattern that was easy to do and your is absolutely the best on the web in my opinion. Your instructional demo was so easy to follow along with that I was not not intimidated to try. I just finished the first on except for the wire which I will do later and love the fit! I am cutting out the next one now! Again, THANKS from the front line!!!!

As an inexperienced sewer I think this is the simplest pattern. The step by step instructions are the best. Getting the pattern is awesome! Thank you!

I have made several different patterns for masks, but this one is the best! It fits well, your instructions are easy to follow, and the masks are very well made. I found the mask holds up so well that I didn't have to put in the nose piece at all. I made about 30 in the last few days and everyone loves them!

This pattern and tutorial is excellent. I am a 76 year old lady who has been looking for a pattern where I won't get confused.... for 6 month and I kept going until I found you, Congratulations to you because you are very precise and I can follow your steps. It is wonderful to find one finally that I can follow. Thank you so much and stay safe yourself, were you a teacher? I'm sure you will receive a lot of positive comments.

Excellent tutorial! I've made over 100 masks of another style and just happened on your video today. I'm actually looking forward to making them again and the nose wire encased is brilliant! As a reminder, when you print the pattern be SURE your printer is set to "actual size" not "fit to page" as the pattern will not be the correct size. Two comments for beginners - be careful not to sew over your pins - it can break your needle! It's good practice to put your pins up and down (perpendicular to the fabric) rather than the same direction you are sewing. If you can find Batik fabric - it has a much tighter weave than regular quilting cotton. Again, what a great tutorial and the options are so helpful! Many thanks and stay safe!

I am new to your channel was searching for a tutorial to help me follow the mask pattern that I purchased from another KZfaqr and stumbled across your video. I seen over 20 KZfaq mask demonstrations and this video for me beats them all. Your video is clearly detailed, understood, simplistic, and free. The other video seems so complicated , some want money, tutorials given too fast to be understood, or too lengthy where your no longer interested. I was so desperate I paid the few bucks for my pattern. You instructions gave me enough time to make my mask along with you. Not to mention your video was short and to the point. I am truly impressed. You are the best by far. A big thank you. I am now a new follower. I will watch you channel keep the videos coming. Again thank you!

This is by far the most simplest mask pattern with the nose wire and filter pocket ever!!! Thank you for your patience in explaining and demonstrating. Blessings to you and yours!!!

The Olson mask simplified! I love how you extended the front piece and fold it back, rather than having A Separate Peace. Ingenious!

I’ve made a bunch of mask for my family. I’m always trying to get better and make a better one. But I had to comment on this. I wanna thank u for taking the time to show what u can use!! I think u did a wonderful job and just the explaining of items u can use us a blessing. Thank u so much and God bless and stay safe everybody

Your video is excellent. You take your time to explain instructions and to give options. There is no guessing on any of the details. I am going to dust off my sewing machine and get started on making masks. Thank you for the inspiration. I am a health care worker (respiratory therapist) and am tired from working so many shifts but on my day off I will be making masks and scrub hats. God bless and take care everyone. Let’s take care of each other. 💗😘 I forgot one recommendation: do not use straight pins because they create holes in the mask that the virus can get through. Use clips instead. 💕

This is the best tutorial I've seen in weeks. I admit that I'm a 54yo newbie eager to learn on how to sew. I bought a low end sewing machine last week and was only able to get some fabrics last monday when the stores finally opened after 9 weeks of lockdown. Up to today, I've wasted over a yard of fabric due to bad patterns out there (there was one pattern that was supposed to be an adult size and the finished mask would be the perfect fit for your doll, that's how small it ended up!). I've found the same pattern as yours, but the tutorials were terrible... I was able to cut and prep 8 masks today but every tutorial weren't enough detailed for the assembly and really thought my sewing journey was over; so I decided to look again and found you! You are my hero and can't thank you enough for your video. Best regards.

I have tried probably 30 or 40 face mask patterns and methods. Yours is the best, and this is the best tutorial video I’ve seen. Thank you!

Just made 3 masks yesterday and must say so easy to do. One thing I changed though was I top stitched first before stitching the nose wire and it was much easier. Many thanks

Thank you! I love that you cut out all the unnecessary steps and just "got it done". I need to make a bunch of these for my senior's centre and this is the method/pattern I'll be using.

I've been sewing the Olson design, this one looks very similar in fit but much quicker and much less faffing around. I'm trying your mask tomorrow. Thanks for the video it's one of the best I've seen, getting straight to the point and cutting out the unnecessary bits is great! It's going to speed things up greatly. Thank you!

Just wanted to thank you. A clear, concise, no nonense, straightforward explanation of how to make a mask! On top of which, it's user friendly, options provided, and demo given. Couldn't think of a single question by the end. You deserve a Gold 🌟 love and Stay Safe, Melbourne, 🇦🇺

Your tutorial video was the best I have ever seen. I watched it twice and then made two masks straight through. Thank you so much for doing this. Now I am going to sew for the rest of my family. You have made such a difference. Be safe.

I've watched a LOT of videos but yours really puts everything together nicely. I really like using the face and cheek together -- cuts down on cutting and sewing time. Thank you for posting this.

I’m repeating the others when I say, BEST tutorial on the Olson Mask. I love your no nonsense style. Can tell you are a professional seamstress (I date myself, I think the correct word is “sewist”). Thank you for sharing. Subbed.

Finally --- A great tutorial, hits all the marks.

After days watching tutorials I've find you. Thank you! This beginner appreciated a lot

I have to tell you, your mask was the easiest and better fit mask I’ve made. Thank you for the patterns and the easy instructions 🤗🤗

Excellent video, you give good instructions without endless chatter, I appreciate that!

Mrs. Sew With Me. Thank you for your honest and most of all your Godly love. Your are amazing and a true blessing from God. I was overwhelmed with happy tears running down my face when you began to speak. Thank you for your free tutorial. Im now following you and wish only greatness for you and you family. Again thank you.

I wish I could add a picture. It started out as a volunteer project with Olson masks. My former boss, and now friend, helped me make my first masks. So, I probably wouldn't do as well as I do if I hadn't had her guidance, but that said, I LOVE YOUR PATTERN! It is the only one I use now. You can have a filter or not, you can have a nose wire or not and it's so easy to add to it. I was just making masks for my son's non-for-profit, and I wanted to stop and thank you for all you do and your amazing teaching skills!

Thank you so much. I'm a new at sewing. This was a very easy mask to make. The potential to switch out the elastic is what drew me to this mask. It fits me great.

Thanks for a great video and pattern!!! I made this last night and it was easy and quick. I made over 40 of the pleated style masks and wish I had found your video sooner because your mask is easier and more comfortable. I also bought the mini iron from your link. :-)

I love your face mask, was looking for a slightly easier way to insert nose piece and came up with the idea of inserting the nose piece before sewing round the mask. I enclose the wire in the 3 x 1inch of lining fabric, then before sewing around I use an edging foot, supplied with my Bernina sewing machine 54 years ago, I put the selvedges all together with centre of wire at the centre join and sew around as per your demonstration before turning the mask right side out. it speeds up everything quite a bit.

My relatives are very happy knowing they now have masks they can wash. Outstanding video. My mother in law would have been proud of my first sewing adventure

Thank you so much for sharing your genius pattern! I just learned how to sew a couple weeks ago and have been trying to make all sorts of masks. This is the best by far! Easy to follow and I love your short cuts!

I've looked at other videos and tried a few others but this is my favorite! Thank you so much for the pattern, I've lost count of how many times I've used it.

As a novice in sewing, this pattern by far is the best & easiest . I have one other favorites from the 9 i have tried. Ear our we still on the works for me, but i have options ther. Thank you ever so mush. In 2 days I shipped out 12 masks with this patty

Hello from Cleveland, Ohio!! Thank you for this video! I just finished my first mask, by following along with your video. I’m a beginner at sewing, so I was nervous the whole time that it wouldn’t turn out right. But even with some stitching faux pas (uneven seams), it turned out great, and it fits nicely! I already received a request for 2 more from my best friend and her hubby in Georgia. 😳😁 God bless you!!

Ive been looking everywhere for this tutorial, something that me and my family could actually use, i tested it out and it works, very easy to follow and the stuff isnt hard to get, i will leave a like so more people can see this and im sharing this tysm! Stay safe everyone!

Thank you so much for your videos and for sharing your patterns with us! I was looking for a project for my neurodivergent daughter to help her to continue to work on her motor skills and this is somethings she does seem interested in and is willing to try. She has a little sewing machine and also a love for dolls which she collects. Hopefully she'll love doing some of the things you do. I for one am looking forward to using your videos to try to do some projects myself.

Brilliant! One video, covers it all & simple. Bought my fabric, off to the sewing machine. Thanks!

I had made masks for my children following your guidance a year ago… i am making more now… it is still not totally safe yet in my country & we still wear masks when we go out… your video is really helpful… thank you

Thank you for the FREE pattern! I am a beginner, and I was able to make a mask with the filter pocket and nose support on my very first try. My masks are looking good! You are the best.

I have made a few masks - all different patterns. I saw your video so thought I would give it a try. Glad I did, because this is by far the BEST pattern I have used. The pattern is great and your video is very very easy to follow. The mask fits me perfectly and I like the fact that there is a place for a filter too. I liked your tip for covering the wire also - so easy to do. Very very good pattern and video. Thank you for sharing. I will most definitely be using this pattern from now on.

I'm most impressed with your tutorial video--the best!! I've watched soooo many videos trying to find one that I'm comfortable with and the most effective design--you've got it!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! God bless you, be safe and good health!!

Thank you for the very easy to follow instructions. Love the idea of bonding web for putting the nose wire in, I would never have thought of it.

This is the absolute best video/tutorial I have come across! Very clear and straight forward! Thank you so much for sharing!

Love the style, the way it fits, the best pattern I've found. So much easier to get the filter in. Your directions are super great. Thank you so much.

This is the best mask tutorial on KZfaq! Thank you😀

Love your design, easy and straight forward. Blessings to You and Yours

Thank you so much for sharing your tutorial and patterns. It made making this mask so easy with your direction. I am a dialysis nurse and get lots of comments on your masks that I have made for my fellow nurses. I will be faithfully following your site. You make things so easy to tackle. Thank you again!!!!!

Good tutorial. I also top stitch the top and bottom at 1/8" as it helps the mask keep its shape better in the wash.

I love your pattern! I have been making many masks and using various patterns, but this is my favorite! It is well designed and has a clean finish! I did subscribe. Thank you, again!

Thank you for the video. It is so easy to follow. I havent sewn in years except for mending. After watching this video I have made 3 cloth masks today. excellent.

Great instructional video, thank you for making and sharing it. One thing I would suggest is to use quilting/sewing clips instead of pins, so you’re not making any holes in the fabric.

Thank you sooooo much for this tutorial and pattern, Lele!! I’ve tried so many other patterns and not happy with results. Yours is the simplest and easiest one to make. I’ve already made five to send to my son and his wife. 💕👍

Thank you so much for this. Been looking for an easier way to do the Olson style mask and this is great!! Only two pieces instead of six!!! Thank you thank you!!

Thank you ever so much for your easy to follow video and free pattern. I have to wear a mask for work and was using disposable ones. After a while disposables can become too costly. I have a sewing machine and it’s been collecting dust. I watched your video from beginning to end and felt encouraged that I could do it. When I completed the mask it looked and felt great on. Your mask pattern was a perfect fit that I didn’t need to insert the wire and my glasses didn’t fog up. Thank you again.❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for the video , patterns and links! I tried 10 different types of masks- I believe yours are by far the best! Well done on the video- bought several items from your links- The Iron is awesome! Thanks again

Thanks so much for this! I’ve been trying so many different patterns and all. This is perfect and so easy to do. Thanks so much.

I enjoy your simple explanation and natural way of speaking. The only thing I have a problem with is the elastic stitching. I have to hand stitch. My Husqvarna would grab that little bit of elastic and pull into bobbin area and ruin it. Also, I made the regular size for myself and woman friends/family and we have to have 8" of elastic, and since handstitching it is a tiny overlap. I like the cotton tshirt - I leave the knot out at the bottom, it keeps it from bulking up when folding over and you can cut it and re-tie if it stretches out too much - or to modify for wearer. The xl fits husband and boys well, but have to fold fabric over the elastic further or it gaps on the side. It's a great pattern, and as every sewer knows there's always modifications!

Thank you so much for your pattern and video. As soon as I viewed it and saw that you added the pattern I had to get to work right away. I am do not do a lot of sewing but your video got me motivated. I am a dialysis RN and have given some to my fellow nurses and they really enjoy them as do I. Thank you again for so willing to give part of yourself to us.

Love your tutorial! You probably have heard this, but I have one suggestion - people have suggested that the virus can travel through pinholes, and so many are using little clips instead of pins to hold fabric together. I don't know how big a risk pinholes really are, but thought I would pass it on. Thanks so much for your instruction!

Wonderful video, thank you! And thank you for not torturing us with an annoying music loop.

I happened across your channel looking for SIMPLE facemasks. I am a simplistic sewer, but feel with your video & instruction I SHOULD be able to do this. Bless you for the awesome video!!

Great video!! You made it easy for anyone to follow. I will be following you now. Thanks for sharing.

Your instructions and pattern & options make for a well fitting, easy to make mask. Thanks, Lisa. I've made 2 and will be using this as my go-to mask, as it includes the filter pocket and nose guard as well.😷 Linda R., Naples FL

I can't thank you enough for your time and patience showing how to make this perfect mask. I love the nice open filter pocket and the way you made it so easy to make! Great instructions. I am going to make it right now!

Hello! I have been watching numerous videos on Mask making and found your video the very best. Your instructions and patterns were exacting and left nothing for error. Thank you very much. Now I can make your masks for my daughter who is a doctor in another state. I will also be using the N95 filter in the pocket for her to change out daily, I appreciate your sharing your knowledge and pattern.

Your tutorial is great. Thank you for easy access to the pattern. This style is the best fit for me and my family members. I think even beginners can successfully follow your tutorial.

A chopstick works wonders for poking the corners out. I keep a cooking chopstick (it's like a normal one but super long) at my sewing table just for this purpose!

I like how you modified The Olson Face Mask Pattern by eliminating the cheek pieces. I am going to try it this way. I make the original, but yours will be quicker as I am not cutting out extra pieces. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

I was feeling like I would never use my sewing machine again til I tried your pattern...the pattern is easy and comes out looking like I new what I was doing. Thanks!

You are an absolute Gem for sharing a free pattern AND a tutorial on how to make it. thank you ever so much!

I’ve made a few masks with different patterns yours is truly simple. I’m trying it today I’ll let you know how it turns out. Thank you for sharing. ( I also have that little iron it’s cute but durable).

Thank you Sew much! You are a great instructor...so easy to follow. Thanks too for the easy to download and print pattern.

Great tutorial! Looks like one of the best and easy to follow. I like the idea of a removable filter. I tried making one with the filter inner facing in between the two layers and it was very bulky to turn inside out. I also like your nose wire idea. Thank you for the pattern! Stay well.

Thank you so much for this pattern and the free template. I have searched so many video's and yours is so easy to follow. Good job!! and thanks again.

You are the best!! I have watched so many videos and made tons of masks. Your mask is excellent and your description, delivery, and explanation are the best I have seen! You are a pleasure to watch! Your voice is also so calming. Thank you

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial!! It's easy to follow and well-explained. I just finished making my own mask with the hand stitching technique. Haha it took me almost 4 hours sewing by hand but I love the results!!!💕☺️✨

best video around, so clear and easy to follow. the nose wire is so comfortable to wear. I am going to make some for my grandkids - I'll just cut the pattern smaller

You win the best of all videos !!!!!!!

That was a fantastic tutorial. Very instructional with all sorts of details for people like me who lack of sort of sewing knowledge. Thank you so much

I just made 2 masks for my niece. The pattern and tutorial made the process easy peasy! Thank you so much for sharing your pattern.

Excellent tutorial! Very clear directions and synced up well with the video.

This is the BEST and EASIEST face mask pattern!! Thanks so very much for sharing!

Thank you for the helpful video. I've been watching videos on how to do just the 👂 ear loops and how to see them on. Your the only person who had what I was looking for. And how to do it. Thank you.

This is my favorite pattern! Thank you! I have made about a dozen now

Love this pattern. Unfortunately ive tried at least 15 or more an this is the Best, fits really well to my face an i hand sewn mine. Thanks for sharing!!👍😀

Your patterns and instructions are so easy especially for a beginner like me! I did this pattern earlier and it was so easy to follow along with you. Thank you so much!

Thank you! I love this mask it has everything you need. Best part you explained the process so very well!! Thank you!

I just love how informative and approachable this video is! Thank you from the UK! xx

Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial! I've tried many others and have not had nearly as much success as I do when I followed this video! My masks from your instructions have been turning out GREAT! :-)

Thank you for this incredibly helpful tutorial. I really like your clear, no-nonsense style of teaching and, your suggestions for hard to get notions. Well done!! Stay Blessed💛

I have been searching for good, easy tutorial WITH a pattern I could download. This was perfect! Good job! I have already made two and planning to make more. thanks.!!!

I wondered why the sides were so long but that’s clever! Gives you options x

Best mask tutorial so far I have seen. Thank you its great... I love the pocket and the fold back .... Helen M.

Thanks for a great tutorial. I really liked how you showcased the different options. You are a great teacher!

Thank you very much from Belfast, Northern Ireland 💕

Your design is fantastic ! Just what I wanted...and you explain it so well. Thank you !!!

I think this is the best pattern for facemasks! It is easily adjusted for everyone! I just wish the edges of the pattern piece was a solid line instead of a dotted line so my Cricut will cut it. Thanks for all of your hard work!

Amazing! Absolutely easy to follow. By far the best mask tutorial I've seen.

Came across your tutorial today& have viewed it 4 times! Am excited to download the pattern & get started tomorrow! Thanks so much 😊

My family and I are so excited to finely come across your training video, after watching countless of others that are good, but yours rang the bell; it has all the bells and whistles, plus easy to make. I gave you a thumbs up and subscribe to your channel. Thanks again... :)

Thank you so much for a great tutorial and a great looking mask, which I’m going to try to make. The added bonus of the nose wire and pocket lifts this to another level. The explanations are simple and clear and easy to follow. Appreciate this and the free pattern 😀 this video is a keeper!
