Daisy, I got into making masks when this whole COVID thing happened. Through lots of trial and error, I came up with my own pattern. I came across your video-with the skull faces, and I am making my masks so similarly to yours, however, you are a much better seamstress than I. I am in the process of trying your pattern and will post a pic when done. I just got on the comments things and saw that there were dislikes! Let me tell all those people, you are out of your minds! As I started to say, this is the first time using a sewing machine since the seventh grade so I’m learning how to use the machine as well as making a machine. Daisy has been overly kind to offer her patters as well as for those who don’t have a printer, gives the coordinates in inches and centimeters. Who does this? I’ll tell you who, someone who cares that people watching her and taking her invitations to print her patterns, etc. Daisy, your mask is one if not the BEST I have seen. You make them with the correct amount of protective fabric pieces, it fits correctly, CDC states fit is the most important factor. Anyway, wanted to say thanks for the time and for sharing your pattern. I’m going to find your Facebook page and post my pic there!

This is so awesome! I was using your older video and adding nose wires as well as the rope/loop method myself. I'm so glad there's a tutorial for it for other people now!!!

I have waited until now to try to make a face mask. . thank you so much Daisy for your extreme kindness by sharing your patterns that are so hard to find now because too many people are asking us to pay for them and for being so thorough. Resources are so hard to come by now and I never would have thought of these basic alternatives without your help! From my family, THANK YOU SO MUCH! You have inspired me to make a few today and maybe I will make more for others to share the wealth of health as you are for us!! THANK YOU!!

Thank you very much for the video and free pattern. I am definitely a novice and was able to make the masks without issues. I used the pipe cleaner, which I really like. I used the small pattern to cut a filter to insert into the pocket. My filter is made of unbleached coffee filter, 1 sheet notebook paper, 1 dinner napkin - 3 layers. When finished I have a 6 layered mask. I did add about 2 inches to the bottom of the large pattern (chin area) to cover my husband’s entire face and beard, his face is more long than round and needed to account for that. We prefer to secure around the head vs. ears - the bands kept curling over on our ears. Your instructions are 10/10!. Thanks again!, great video. Stay safe!

This is brilliant! I loved your first video, and the changes you have made are so efficient! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

Daisy I cannot thank you enough, many many blessings to you. My grandbabies will now have masks too. I'm a disabled Nurse and it isn't as easy for me to sew as it used to be and making m own patterns is frustrating. Thank You Daisy for making this tutorial.

I cannot thank you enough!! I am about to dive in head over heels and begin a small venture in making and selling face masks, and accessories, as well as odd jobs like house cleaning, and walking dogs to make an extra dollar. I have common variable immunodeficiency so I am unable to work!! however with resilience and creativity I fully intend to overcome barriers set in place because of covid 19. Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing your instructions for free. I have been making masks for teacher friends of mine and others' children, with fabrics I already had at home. As my husband has had little work since NZ's first lockdown and I am a teacher aide, so school is closed owing to the latest lockdown, we don't have one cent to spare. A lot of friends have given us excess vegetables and fruit etc from their gardens, so this has been a way that I can do them a favour in return, that doesn't cost us any money. Very kind and generous of you, in a time when many others are making money off the situation, regardless of the needs of others, and often hiking prices because of the shortages, which I find completely immoral. Great instructions, too. I like the way that the video is real time, so you can get an idea of how long it takes to make each one. Thank you, thank you, thank you.x

Also since I don’t have a printer I literally made a graph using a ruler and marked each point according to the medium template and cut it out on paper and it came out perfect!

You are the best. You point, talk, then, you say the same again only in different words. Even the simplest novice can understand your instructions. You are a great instuctor. I thank you and appreciate the time you spent making this you tube video. You helped me so much. Thanks again...

These hair elastics as traditional elastic, is pure genius! So much more comfortable and cheaper than elastic some sellers are scalping right now! Thank you for sharing ☺️

I was questioning my sanity watching so many mask-making videos, but I usually learn something. In this one, using a zig-zag stitch for the pipe cleaner was elegantly brilliant. Thank you so much for the video!

I am so grateful to you for the patterns, the instructions, the videos and especially your kindness in sharing it all unselfishly! I have a family member that works with special needs children and one that is teacher for special needs children on one side of my family and the other side I have 2 that are cancer patients. Everyone is so welcoming of something bright and cheery in these masks. I am so happy I can do it thanks to you! It is a fantastic pattern that will stand up to the wear and washing! Thank you and God Bless you!

Excellent tutorial! Thank you for your generosity in sharing your expertise :-) I have made almost 200 masks so far and tried almost all patterns. Can't wait to try this one! With the pandemic, most businesses prefer non cash transactions. This means not many of us are carrying small bills or coins. This has left the poor and homeless, who depend on pan handling for survival. So instead, I have been sewing 3 layer masks since March, and giving them to people who call the streets home, here in Ottawa, Ontario.

Thank you for the pony tail holder suggestion ! That is a great idea!

Great video and the best instructions.I don't know how to sew, but your video gave me the confidence to try. Last night I was able to make an adult and child mask. I absolutely love the method you used to help people create their own pattern. Muchas gracias.

When I am searching for information I always view several tutorials. I scan and go to the ones with the eye catcher headline, i.e., “the best, the fastest”, etc. So I have wasted my valuable viewing time with -ah, no. I will tell you that your tutorial is not deceptive and is in the realm of true reality. It is truly faster ‘cause I have used it, not to mention you have been generous enough to share your patterns. Thank-you for your generosity to help those of us that are trying to learn and help others as well.

I love when people use fun fabrics. Just because we have to wear them everyday, it doesn't mean we can't have fun. Show your personality. With a handful of fat quarters one can create a variety of masks.

Just wanted to say thank you very much for this easy to do tutorial, even for beginners like myself. Love the mask design and fits perfect. May God bless you and your family.
