Over the past few months, I’ve enjoyed the challenge of working with a physical product: face masks.

A couple of people have asked me for my pattern and supplies, so here you go! I’ve included dimensions for child-sized masks, too.

According to a study cited by the Boston Globe, a well-fitting cotton/flannel mask can filter as well as an N95, so I’ve been making mine from a cotton/flannel combination. Sometimes the flannel is the liner, sometimes cotton.

Notes for children:

• My daughter prefers cotton liner/flannel outside.
• Cut the nose bridges in half for child-sized masks.

Suppliers:

• Nose bridges
• Elastics
• Fabric: Rifle Paper x Cotton + Steel
