This mask PATTERN is unique in that it includes a dart on each side of a center seam to allow for easier breathing and less feeling of suffocation while wearing the mask. Detailed instructions are easy to follow with images for each step. Materials needed to complete this pattern are: • Two pieces of cotton fabric approximately 8” x 20” • Optional: If you want a three-layered mask, use a layer of interfacing and sew just like the top and bottom fabrics. • 4” piece of a pipe cleaner (for the nose pincher) • 26” of ¼” elastic, cut in half • OR 48” of ¼” ribbon, cut in half
