How to Sew a Mask from Sterile Wrap (and no-sew mask ties!!!)

4/4/2020

Hi all! Long time no hear!

This is a CRAZY time we're living in, huh? One second I feel like I'm adjusting and the next I'm completely disoriented. I'm sure I'm not alone!

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard there is a face mask shortage here in the US. We never would have thought hospitals would be asking home sewists to make PPE, but here we are. Now, I'm not selling masks because to be honest I don't love sewing them. But I figure, the least I can do with all my fabric, time, and sewing skills is make masks for those who really need them. As long as the folks on the frontline are asking me for masks, I will be sitting at my machine.

I'm not going to give you the full tutorial here, you'll have to skip over to my Youtube channel for that, but I'm going to add some links and notes here that will hopefully help you out.

What is Sterile Wrap?

So while doctors and nurses need masks, sterile wrap is an amazing option. Let's keep on rallying and doing all we can! 

Here is a link to the instructions I include with my masks:

Hope this helps! Feel free to contact me with any questions, I'm here to help!
