Another mask design.

[camwyn]

Another of the Made by Barb designs. This one is her N95 style. I'm... not thrilled. It fits loosely under the chin. Might be a better fit if I used properly sized elastic rather than roughly estimated strips of T-shirt fabric, but I don't know. The design was intended for thicker fabric- I think she cut up some kind of a shammy made from rayon- and originally included a plastic ziptie across the inside as a form of boning to keep it off the face. I use cotton, high thread count cotton, and chiffon by default. The result was a different structure and some fairly awkward earstrap casing folds. She also has a thing for iron-in nose wires. I attached a pocket to the inside of the lining layer instead to make it easier to wash- I can take the metal out as needed.


Bright side, I used up a bit of the bias tape I made in an attempt to learn how to make bias tape, but... enh, like I said, I'm not thrilled. I'll try fixing the ear strap issue later but I think my next mask or two will probably be done with one of her designs specifically intended for two layers of cotton and a noseline intended for eyeglass wearers. It'll probably get a pocket added after the fact for nose wire rather than ironing the metal strip in, though. Just on general principle.

(Side note, I am not particularly a Captain Marvel fan. I bought the fabric on eBay to make a mask for a friend who is a proper Carol fan and there was way more fabric left over after I did the mask up than I really needed, so... mask practice with Carol insignias.)
