Clear instructions, after which the mask-snood will master even a novice seamstress

2020 forced us to get a mandatory accessory. Whether we like it or not, a protective mask has been added to the mandatory set of items before exiting: keys, wallet, phone. And many forget it at home. Today I want to tell you about how to sew a reusable mask-snood, which is impossible to forget.

The advantage of such a mask is that it is worn around the neck as a snood instead of a scarf, and if necessary, it can be worn on the face in a public place. Comfortable. This mask can be sewn by anyone who has a meter of fabric and a sewing machine.

You'll need it.
  • 1m cotton fabric
  • 1m rubber
  • shears
  • pattern
  • sewer
  • pin


  1. Mask will sew a two-layer, so cut the size of the pattern, retreating 1 cm from the edge, two parts of cotton or cooler surface. You will find the finished pattern through the link.



  2. At the top mark the place for the nose on both parts of the mask. Cut out the grooves and run them on the sewing machine. If you have an overlock, you can immediately sew it on the overlock.



  3. Now pull every detail of the clamps down the back seam.



  4. Put one piece in half and put a notch in the middle. Measure the length of the rubber band to the notch.



  5. On the top cut, fold the details face to face. Sew the parts to the notch and apply the rubber band. Scroll the gum parts down the back.



  6. Now put the clamps down. On the overlock, this is done on the front side with a narrow overlay seam. On a sewing machine, you can stitch with a linen seam or stitch from the underside, leave a hole, turn the product and manually sew the hole from below.



  7. Turn the product around and tidy it up. If the fabric is strongly pinched, then lay a line on the front side of the clamping on the typewriter. Done.





The video clearly shows the process of sewing a mask-hammer. If you adjust, you can do without a pattern. In experienced needlewomen, the manufacture of this accessory takes up to 15 minutes. I'm sure you can handle it, too. Just look at that beauty.

Mask-snood thanks to the pull on the nose and rubber band fits tightly to the face. This is a good alternative to masks that are uncomfortable to wear in winter with a hat. They always come down! Did you like the idea?
