Cut the remaining bias tape, but leave an extra half inch excess- don't sew this down. Sew around the full circumference of the eye hole or outer edge, and continue for an extra quarter inch over the starting point. Stitch the outside length of bias tape using small stitches. Fold the bias tape over the raw edges of the mask- the raw edges will be pressed into the centre crease of the bias tape, and each neat edge of the bias tape will be sewn down on either side of the mask. To hand sew the bias tape the method is the same for the eye holes and the outer edge. Iron and fold the fold the strip in half again. To create bias tape fold and iron each edge of the strip into the centre. ![]() Each eye hole bias tape measures ten inches long, and the outer inch measures 26. The wide the fabric, the wider bias edge. Step 2: Piecing the Outer Fabric Layerīias Binding can be sewn on by machine, however it is easier to manipulate the fabric into place while sewing it down by hand, and can often create a neater finished edge on the inside and outside.Ĭut 2x strips of complimentary fabric for the eye holes and outer edge of the mask. Once trimmed lay out all of the pieces over your paper pattern to see if any are missing, and to check that the layout looks nice. Ensure that you leave ample room around each piece for seam allowance.Ĭut out each of your pattern pieces, and then trim each piece to have your chosen amount of seam allowance- this can be up to you and your skill level. Iron each little piece of interfacing to your quilting cotton- ensure that it is facing glue side down onto the wrong side of the fabric (you do not want to accidentally iron your interfacing onto the bottom of your iron). If the printer ink is faded in places remark the pieces where you need to. Once the interfacing has the pattern printed onto it, cut out all of the little pieces. Print a second copy pattern onto standard paper cut around the outer edge- this copy will be needed later to cut out the quilt batting and the inner fabric. ![]() Printing directly onto interfacing ensures that your dimensions are perfect for every piece. Ensure to run a clean cycle after each piece. To print onto interfacing cut out an A4 size piece and run it through your printer like normal. You will need to print out two copies of your pattern- one directly onto your iron on interfacing, and one onto standard printer paper. The pieces surrounding the eye holes are defined by little dots at the end of the dashes. One side of the pattern the numbers and letters are circled, and each piece has dashes at the corners to show where each piece needs to connect- single dashes connect to the same single dashes, double dashes to double dashes. The top pieces are numbered 1-14 and the bottom pieces are lettered A-H. The pattern is made of two mirrored sides (4x pieces in total). ![]()
