Get the free pattern for this cool veil face mask at https://jennifermaker.com/veil-face-m... I appreciate every subscriber. It's free and easy to subscribe -- just click here: http://bit.ly/sub2jennifer The cool and refreshing face mask can be made with or without a filter pocket and nose wire, and it's perfect for staying cool this summer. Having a variety of different face masks is a great thing, especially when they’re stylish alternatives to the traditional fitted face mask. In the past week, I’ve designed a neck gaiter style and a scarf style face mask, but I may be most excited about this light and cool veil style I’m making now. It’s been really hot lately, and I think this veil face mask will be a lot more comfortable in the heat. It keeps your neck free for air to circulate and even provides a little sun protection! I’m happy to share this pattern with you and show you how to sew this cool veil face mask!

A: I recommend you use different fabric colors or patterns so you can tell the inside from the outside — you don’t want to accidentally put the layer you’ve been wearing on the outside against your face. Q: I can’t find any elastic. What can I use instead? A: Find an old stretchy T-shirt and cut strips from it to make ear loops instead. Q: I can’t find any pretty cotton. What can I use instead? A: See my list of Best Fabrics for Face Masks. Your goal is to find and use closely knit and STRETCHY cotton. You can tell how close it is by holding it up to bright light — if not too much light is visible between the threads, it’s probably good. Q: What kind of sewing machine do you recommend? I am new to sewing and want to make these scarf face masks! A: I am a big fan of Janome sewing machines, and that is the brand I am using in this tutorial. I think they are simple to use, affordable, and long-lasting. Q: I need to make a veil mask for my child. Do you have a pattern that small? A: Use the pattern marked for “Youth” (in the SVG cut file, it’s the set that’s yellow-green). Note that the CDC advises that children under the age of 2 should not wear a face covering. Q: Can I cut these veil face masks on my Cricut? A: Yes! See the instructions under Step 2 above, and check out my tutorial on How to Cut Fabric on the Cricut. Q: How do I wash my veil face mask? A: The CDC advises routinely washing your mask in a washing machine. The frequency of washing depends on your frequency of use. We wash our face masks daily after we’ve worn them. Q: I can’t sew. Do you have a no-sew pattern? A: Yes, we have a super easy no-sew face mask pattern at https://jennifermaker.com/no-sew-face... . But you could also use fabric glue instead of sewing to make the face mask here.
