You will now have 2 pieces of fabric

Step 2
With an iron, press in edges of fabric 1/2"on all 4 sides
Step 3
Fold the fabric in half and pin the top and bottom edges

Step 4
Stitch across the top and bottom


Step 5
The Pleats
Measure and mark from the top 2", 4", 6" for an adult mask or 2", 3.5", 5" for a child mask.
Starting from the top, fold and iron across the 2" line and fold that line up 1/2". Repeat for the next two pleats.


Step 6
Inserting the elastic just below the top stitch and above the bottom stitch, Sew down the sides of your mask. Don't foget to backstitch so the elastic stays in.
