No one wants to spoil the mood, once again recalling the raging pandemic, but I will try to be brief and broadcast only to the point. Contrary to all the admonitions that it is impossible to protect yourself from the virus with masks, people bomb all local pharmacies and are constantly rejected. No masks! I think that if you change them often, they still make sense. In addition, if you suddenly caught ARVI somewhere, and do not want to infect your family, you should stock up on such a useful item. Today I will tell you how you can sew a medical mask at home.
I don't know about you, but when I was in school, we were taught to sew medical masks with our own hands. It is now full of them in pharmacies, although with the current situation... Well, okay, let's get started!
I offer you three options for making medical masks with your own hands at once. Take note!
First option
This method is the easiest. You will need a square piece of fabric measuring 45 * 45 centimeters. Thick natural fabrics, such as linen, cotton, or homespun, work well. You also need 2 elastic bands 18 cm long. Here you need to look, depending on your parameters, maybe more, maybe less.
Working process
Fold a piece of fabric in half and then assemble it into an accordion. Make eyelets around the edges and sew. It is quite possible to do it with your hands, but you can also use a typewriter. Although it doesn't matter at all, the main thing is that everything is stitched tightly. As a last resort, you can use fabric glue. Thread the elastic bands into the loops, and that's it. The mask is ready! Nothing complicated, in principle, a child who is at least a little familiar with the sewing technique can handle it. By the way, here's another way for you to do during quarantine at home. Sew masks with your children!
Second option
This method is a little more complicated than the first, but the mask will also protect the respiratory tract well not only from microorganisms, but also from dust. After all, spring and summer are known for their allergies, or rather the season for allergy sufferers will be at its peak. Perhaps this will help you save yourself at least a little. You will also need a thick fabric 45 * 45 cm, elastic bands of 18 cm and another piece of fabric that will serve as a filter.
Working process
In principle, the course of work is similar to the first, only a piece of fabric is folded in half, then an additional piece is applied to them, and then an accordion, sewing loops and inserting an elastic band. Everything is ready, you can use it!
Third option
Or you can make a mask with a replaceable filter. Another option for making a medical mask is a little more complicated, but health is more important. The mask will have a replaceable filter. The course of work is similar, only the filter will need to be changed periodically. It's better than changing the mask itself.
I will not talk about sewing a mask that we sewed at school. There you will need a lot of bandage or gauze, cotton wool, and a lot of hassle. According to the above options, the masks are tight and do an excellent job with the responsibilities assigned to them.
This is how you can sew a medical mask yourself. Now it is not only an opportunity to make a thing to your liking, for example, with a cheerful pattern or print, but also the most budgetary option. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find masks in pharmacies now, and if they are, they are expensive, and given the fact that they need to be changed very often, the purchase can be a pretty penny.
Take care of yourself and your loved ones!
