There’s some evidence that wearing a mask when you go out is a good idea. Here’s how to make your own
Photo: The Cut/Instagram America’s health professionals are facing down coronavirus with a rapidly dwindling supply of protective masks, gowns, and gloves. Given the scarcity, masks are being diverted from traditional retailers like pharmacies and online shops to help workers on the front lines. So what to do when buying one is no longer an option? Spin the wheels of ingenuity and make one yourself.
1. Assemble the Pattern This is the blueprint of your mask. Once you download and print two copies of the pattern, which you can find here, cut them out. One will serve as the blueprint for the lining of your mask, while the other is for the main fabric part of the mask.

On each of the two lining pieces, fold 1/4 inch down on the side edges and iron or pin down. Sew a topstitch along the folded side edge. A sewing machine will save time, but we have all the time in the world, so this can absolutely be done by hand.

Even better news: this stage only requires stitching the front center seam — sewing the side edges are not necessary. Layer the main fabric pieces on top of each other as previously done with the lining pieces. Pin the curves and sew the 1/4 inch center front seam.
