Step 1: Gather Supplies
-Fabric outer layer: .25 yards (canvas, twill, cotton, or any fabric that is tightly woven)
-Fabric lining: .25 yards (non stretch soft cotton)
-Bias tape: Extra wide
-Braided Elastic 1/8in(.32cm): 24 inches
-PM2.5 filter
Step 2: Cut Pattern
-Front main panel: Cut 1-2 depending on how many layer you want for protection. This can also be determined by how loose your fabric is. Just keep in mind the more layer the more protection.
-Front and lining bottom panel: Cut 1 outer layer fabric. Cut 1 lining fabric.
-Lining side panel: Cut 2 lining fabric
-Center lining panel: Cut 1 lining fabric
Step 3: Hem Lining
-Mark the hem lines onto the lining panels.
-Both sides of center lining panel and only the inside edges of the lining side panels.
-Roll over and pin edge.
-Sew at .25 inch seam allowance.
Step 4: Lining Peak
-Place the right sides together.
-Sew as close as you can to the edge.
Step 5: Attach Lining Panels
-Overlap the center lining panel with the side lining panels.
-Tack stitch just the bottoms.
Step 6: Attach Lining Bottom
-Line up notch points on bottom lining and center lining panels.
-Pin bottom in to position.
-Sew at .25 inch seam allowance.
Step 7: Tack Stitch

Step 8: Outer Layer Point
-Place right sides together.
-Sew as close as you can to the edge.
Step 9: Attach Bottom
-Line up notches.

Step 10: Place Outer Layer and Lining Together
-Place the outer layer and lining together. Make sure wrong sides are touching.
-Line up bottom notches and nose point.
-Pin together.
Step 11: Bias Tape Edges
-You can use made bias tape or bias tape attachment. Both methods work.
-When sewing on top edge bias tape. Add twist tie or other bendy object above the nose. This will allow of adjustment around the nose area. I just mine at 3 inches or you can use a full twist tie.
Step 12: Finish Side Edges
-Serge or zig-zag stitch side edges to prevent fraying.

-Roll over edge and pin.
