2. Cut out your pieces:
a. One outer fabric
b. One lining
c. One batting
3. Trim batting 1cm around edges.
Sewing Instructions:
Iron on batting to wrong side of outer fabric. Picture 1.
Pin and sew elastic to outer fabric with right sides together, ensuring the elastic is not twisted. Picture 2.
Pin and sew outer fabric and lining, right sides together using a 1cm seam allowance and leaving a 5cm hole (for turning mask inside out). Your elastic will be enclosed within your mask at this point. Picture 3.

HINT: When sewing multiple or thick layers together, engage you IDT™ . The time-tested PFAFF original IDT™ system guarantees the optimal feed you expect on all types of fabric with absolutely even fabric feed from both the top and bottom.
4. Trim seams to .5cm and cut small notches (triangles) around curves, being careful not to cut the stitching. Picture 4.
5. Turn mask right side out – you are almost finished! Picture 5.
6. Press, ensuring the lining is not visible from the front. Picture 6.

7. Hand-sew the hole closed using a ladder stitch OR machine top-stitch around the edges of your mask, closing the hole with your top stitching. I chose to top stitch .5cm from the edges.
8. Press once more for a neat finish.
9. Try on your mask and (if the time is right) have a sneaky snooze!
