Depending on whom you’re sewing for, I have sizes for men, women, teenagers, young kids, and small kids. Follow the instructions below:

Select the size you plan to sew and cut.
Take two pieces of 30 x 16 cm cloths. Put them on top of each other and then fold horizontally in half.
Put the paper pattern on top of the cloths. Make sure that the smaller mouth of the pattern is on the open end of the fold.
Use sewing pins to keep the pattern in place.
Trace the pattern on the cloth using a fabric marker or pencil.
Cut around the marking and make sure you keep a distance of 7 mm from it.
Remove the paper pattern then, put back the sewing pins so your fold stays aligned.
Hand stitch or use a sewing machine to stitch on the marking of the big mouth of the cloth.

Note: Where you stitch is the going to be the inner side of the mask.

Once done, unfold your mask revealing the outer side. Spread the edges of the inner seam towards sides.
Stitch the edges of the inner seam onto the body of the mask.
Take another piece of 30 x 16 com cloth. Cut out the same pattern size from it.
Stitch the center of your second cloth pattern so it looks the same as the first one on the outer side.
Put the two patterns on top of each other, outer sides facing each other. Secure the edges in place using clips.
Sew the remaining unstitched marking, leaving an opening in one corner.
Create cuts on the edges of the inner seam. Then, cut out the four edgy corners.
Reverse the mask to reveal the outer side by pulling it out from the open corner.
Sew again on around the edges. Make sure you fold the edges of the open corner inside to have a clean finish.
Fold the two sides 1 cm inward. Secure in place using clips. Stitch them in place, leaving an opening at their centers.
Take two 25-cm long garters. Insert them into each folded side. You can use a hair clip for ease in insertion.
Tie a knot at the ends of the garters to seal them in place.
