On YouTube I found a great video by Fabric Patch explaining in great detail
how to make a face mask shaped like a dust mask. The PDF pattern they used was
adapted slightly from craftpassion.com. I made two today and like the fit much
better than the rectangular pleated mask. They use a small piece of aluminum from a
disposable food pan and insert it between the fabric layers to form a shape that bends around
your nose. They recommend 5″ long elastic to ft over your ears but it was too short for my head so I made mine 7″ long.
