Patterns and Tutorials

NO, You are not obligated to use these patterns if you have a pattern you prefer.

We have curated a selection of mask, scrub cap and ear saver patterns. These patterns are accessible to all skill levels and provided as suggestions.

We do ask that all mask patterns intended for first responders and essential workers have a FILTER POCKET. There is no preference to having the filter pocket at the top or on the side, only that there is the ability to replace the filter in the pocket (if one is used).

The most commonly requested features for a mask and a scrub cap are:

1. Visually distinguishable front facing and back facing fabrics ( different colours or patterns) This allows the wearer to quickly identify the inside and outside of the mask or scrub cap.
2. We have had mixed feedback on the ties versus the elastic. Some workers wear their masks for long periods of time and prefer ties and not elastics. Whereas some workers prefer elastics or elastic with an ear saver. Sew for TO has no preference between elastics or fabric ties. All of the patterns provided, use elastics, please feel free to replace with fabric ties if you like.
