I have a template which fits my face, and I embroider a design onto either
velveteen or satin (all of these were velveteen as satin does not always
photograph well). After embroidering the design, I put the backing on – I
use what I have been told is quilters flannel for the backing, and if I am
making the mask for use in winter, I have a layer of wool batting between
the velveteen and the flannel. Only one of these masks had the batting, as
again the batting does not help with photography. The final part of the
template outlines the holes for the elastic and finishes off the mask. I
have to punch the holes, and then thread the elastic and sew it down
manually.
These are such fun in addition to being so useful! Suz
