I have upgraded my mask design to meet the need for medical professionals. My new design will cover the N95 mask to help them last longer. I have also added a wire that is removable for washing so no worries about rusting plus I have reshaped the mask for a better fit. I offer solutions to combat the nurses complaint of ears chaffing from elastic and give you two solutions to fix that problem. Shaped Pattern: 9" x 8" rectangle I show you how to shape it in the video, elastic 6" - 7" depending on the elasticity of your elastic Nose Bridge: One full length of pipe cleaner folded 2 1/2" - 3" Nose Wire Casing: should be 1/2" wide about 3 - 3 1/2"long. Double fold bias tape is best size for this Cut 4" length Standard Rectangular Pattern: 9" x 7", elastic 6" - 7" depending on the elasticity of your elastic Nose Bridge: One full length of pipe cleaner folded 2 1/2" - 3" Nose Wire Casing: should be 1/2" wide about 3 - 3 1/2"long. Double fold bias tape is best size for this Cut 4" length NOTE: If you have to use 1/8" elastic set your machine to more stitches per inch like between 24 - 12 AND on your pleated ends do three rows of top stitching to reinforce the hold of the elastic rather than sewing in the same place get more stitches in the elastic because the smaller the elastic the harder it is to grip. 1/4" elastic is the best. IMPORTANT NOTE!!!! Try not to put pins in your interfacing especially in the center which can compromise the safety of the barrier the interfacing provides. I know I did that in this video with the thought in mind to help you hold down your pleats and now I wish I had not done that. If you iron the pleats well you should be able to just hold them in place with your fingers. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6qV4Rms7-A
