Face Mask 2020 Part 3

I try to show people how to make things with what they might have. Here is a slightly quicker way if you have longer Ties available.

Pin Tie













Instead of Sewing each individual Tie. Pin one piece to the End of the Mask. Then move the Tie Left or Right until you are sure it is Central.

Fold and Sew Tie







Then Fold the Edge of the Mask over and Sew along the length and at the Ends. Then Sew the Ends of the Ties if needed.

Face Outline









Every time you make a Mask check the Facial measurements if you are going to add Embellishments.

Rough Cat Sketch











As what I have in mind is more complicated I made a Rough Sketch on paper before drawing on the material.

Black Background













I have cut, Hemmed and Sewn the Black Background for the Face. I have also cut and Centred the White Cheeks and Pinned in place.

Pin Tongue













I have cut out the Tongue and slipped it underneath the Cheeks. I then Pin it in place to check position. Next I Fold back the Cheeks and Sew the Tongue in place.

Sew Cheeks













Next I position the Nose. I decide to Sew the Cheeks then Pin and Sew the Nose in place.

Warning. – When making a Design that calls for multiple parts make sure that you are not overlapping too much. The more layers there are the more difficult it will be to Breathe through.

Pin Cat Cheeks












To add the final touches I use Pins to Mark where I think the Whiskers should go. I then place the Thread on Top of the Cheeks and realign where necessary.

Complete Cat Mask










I Backstitch the Whiskers in place and there we have it a Purrfect Cat Mask.
