Free Surgical Mask Directions





I wanted to take a moment to share a link to the medical mask design that I created for those who sew and wish to make their own for loved ones or to donate.

I know there are many different designs available right now but most of them are quite time-consuming involving complicated pleating and ironing and turning and top stitching. When time is of the essence you may want a mask that is both effective and more efficient to make. I have spent years altering designs to maximize production time and efficiency and have applies those principles here.


This mask meets many of the preferential protection requirements including a non-woven spun or blown fiber filter as well as nose bridge wire for a conformed fit. Although no homemade mask can provide the same level of protection against bacterial and in particular viral penetration as medically constructed N95 masks, this construction conforms to best-practice guidelines offered by the CDC and scientific study to reduce exposure through non-woven material filtration and with maximum breathability.

I hope this helps and is a blessing to someone!
