How To Hand-Sew A Germ Face Mask

There have been many patterns for face masks on the internet but all of them have been using sewing machines.  What if you do NOT have a sewing machine?  What if a medical issue makes it impossible to use a sewing machine?  Well, you too can make masks if you can sew by hand.

I watched this from end to end and found it a good source for masks.  There are two ways to add the ties, either looping over the ears or tie backs.  I also feel that one can insert a filter of some kind if you only sew the top section together leaving about a 2 1/2" center opening.  You just have to maneuver a coffee filter or other chosen filter into the opening and it gives that extra layer of protection.   You can also toss the filter away after use. 

I have some medical issues that, for me, make sitting at my sewing machine a difficult task at the moment so I plan to try making this type and sew it by hand, sitting comfortably on my sofa with thread and needle in hand.

I will take pictures of the event and give any tips as I make one of my own.

Have a good day.
