Thank for posting this I’ve asked a couple of people to mail me a template so I’d have the pattern, but they haven’t yet. I tried the one with the pleats w/Cotton it’s fine, but for the guys I’m using denim and that make the pleats hard to sew over and I have only one extra needle and so afraid it’s going to break.
Well, I have not sewn in years, and I am not really a sewer- I am a knitter. But, I got out my ole machine from the early 80’s… and it worked! Your video was a great hit! If you see it having been watched many times today, I must have watched it at least a dozen or more times to make sure that I got it right.
This is by far the BEST fitting mask I’ve worn! My glasses no longer fog up. I can talk and the mask doesn’t get pushed down. It’s comfortable, which is really an important feature. Took about 45 minutes to make the 1st one……well worth it!
I printed the pattern right off the internet and made NO modifications to it.

Hey you’re welcome Toni! Happy sewing!
Why are the measurements in centimeters??
Hi Tony, why would it not be in centimetres?
Perfect, actually! In centimetres! I usually find patterns in inches.
150 mm = 15 cm
Easy peasy.
The metric system is adopted by most countries
Thank you so much for this template! It’s perfect. I have tried a few others, this one fits better!
Thanks you,

That’s great news Elizabeth! I’m also trying the same design but with ear straps to see which feels more comfortable…
