NOTES:
NOTES:
- You will receive a packet of pre-washed and pre-cut fabric
- Do not insert interface
- Do not insert drier sheets or any filter materials
- You can skip the directions on how to cut ties from old t-shirts. The packet you will receive will have pre-cut fabric, both cotton and t-shirt jersey.
Each piece of t-shirt yarn, however, will need to be cut by you into 4 equal pieces. You will need 4 pieces for each mask, or 80 for 20 masks. - For the nose wire, you will receive either a single pipe cleaner or 3 twisty ties per mask. The wire in the twisty ties is thin, so three together strengthens how well it stays in shape.
- You can skip step 3 - FINISH THE EDGES OF THE SHORT SIDES OF MASK PIECE USING A SERGER OR ZIGZAG STITCH.
- You can skip step 7 - TOP STITCH ALONG BOTH SIDES OF THE SEAM.
