Sew Your Own Reversible Face Mask Kit Complete kit for 4 reversible masks with filter pouch. This kit includes 8 assorted pieces of pre-cut cotton fabric, elastic, 1 piece of filter material, and instructions. You can customize the sizes for adults, youth, and child. Watch the youtube tutorial from your phone when you focus your camera on the QR code on the package. All you need to make these masks is a sewing machine, some thread, a measuring tape or ruler, and an iron. Simple. If you don't have a sewing machine you could also sew these masks by hand. The pieces of fabric are already cut to size for adults and the instructions give the measurements for cutting the fabric down to size for youth and child. You may need to adjust the length of the elastic straps to fit smaller faces. The instructions were straightforward and since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, I must have made at least 60 masks for family and friends, so making these was easy for me. These masks are at a beginner's sewing level. Just make sure to pay close attention to the instructions. You may also want to watch the YouTube tutorial. Trust me, anyone can make these. The mask design includes a filter pouch and a channel at the top for inserting a thin wire or pipe cleaner to shape around your nose. This kit also includes 1 piece of filter material for making four filters, one for each mask. To insert them just pinch the filter piece together and place inside the pouch. The cotton material is lightweight and easy to breathe through. The elastic straps were comfortable and did not irritate my ears but I did have to trim them down about an inch so the mask wouldn't slip down my face. Everyone's face comes in different shapes and sizes. The masks are also reversible so you actually have 8 different looks and they are washable so you can use them over and over. You can give these to friends and family members, hospitals, and doctors offices, "at-risk" elderly neighbors, or just keep them in your purse or glove box. You never know when you might need them.

Let me preface this review by saying, I don't sew. I have a sewing machine I bought years ago. I taught myself to thread it and to sew a semi-straight line. I get my sewing machine out about once a year to sew something that needs a wannabe straight line. When I saw this June Tailor, “Sew Your Own Reusable Mask Kit,” I thought, “Hmm. It looks like all I need to do is sew a straight line. I can kind of do that.” So, I ordered the kit and thought that if I mess these masks up, I'm not out that much money. I got out everything I needed (including an iron), I sat down, read the instructions, and thought, “Nope. Not even going to try following these directions.” They were beyond my capacity to stay focused on. So instead, I went to the June Tailor website the directions suggested I go to and watched the tutorial video. The instructions were easy to follow once I realized that what she considered the top of the fabric was the bottom for me because she was standing behind her table, not sitting in front of it. After each instruction she gave, I paused the video to do the step, and then I started the video back up to do the next step. The directions were simple. Sewing a straight line…not so simple, for me, anyway. Mine lines were wobbly and messing looking, and that stood out since I was using white thread on dark blue fabric. I didn't have much hope for having a pretty outcome for my masks. However, once the two pieces were sewn together, front to front, and then turned right side out, only the thread line on the bridge of the nose was visible. I intend to color over that with a dark blue permeant marker. Because my sewing wasn't straight, I didn't have a perfect rectangle when done, but you can't tell that once I pull it open. The fabric designs were good, but not fantastic. The video made following the instructions super easy. It was simple to add pipe cleaners to the bridge of the nose (directions for this included in the video). The mask is reversible, giving you a total of eight designs you can choose to wear from, between the four masks. There is a pocket for including the filter. There are four precut squares of material and one long piece of elastic that you must measure and cut. The filter is also a rectangular piece that needs to be cut into quarters. Overall, they were fun, easy to make, and inexpensive.

This kit was intimidating for sure. I cant sew to save my life. But my mum is a great sewer. So I decided we would both try this. It comes with a link to a how to video on YouTube so it makes it easier to actually see exactly how to do it. So I was absolutely impressed by these masks. Came with the filter insert as well. I made 2 masks and mum made 2. You cant even tell which is which. Overall this was a fun and easy project even with no sewing knowledge or experience. Seems we are going to me wearing these for some time. Knowing how to make my own and some for others will come in handy

This was fun and easy to make. The directions are spot on! You can make adult or youth masks. Everything you need to make 4 face masks (except sewing machine) is in the kit. Pre-cut fabric for the face mask with the elastic makes it even easier. Comes with extra filters that can be cut to fit right in. It's so easy to do. It's the perfect DIY kit. Even a sewing beginner could do this. The finished product even looks good and fits very well. Love it!

I love this pre-cut fabric. I'm a first time sewing machine user and I couldn't believe how easy it was to do this mask. Great color combinations. Lovely and amazing. The quality is great and the instructions are very clear. I'm so happy and excited with this product. I am sewing mask for my whole family.

This kit comes with everything to make four reversible masks. I found the instructions easy to follow. You only need an iron and a sewing machine. You can also hand stitch but it would probably take you a little longer. I really like that they included filter material that is washable. Great craft for the family. This kit is great for beginners as well as seasoned sewers.

I received this little kit to make 4 complete masks. You have to have a sewing machine, scissors and a couple of pins (if they had included a couple that would have been nice). After examining the instructions, I thought "WHAT"? and I sew! Those instructions are good if you need to adjust for a child mask but just seemed kind of difficult and I don't want you to be put off by the process, it really is not complicated. They had suggested taking a look at the process on their website or a youtube link they offered. That was most helpful. Now, after watching Jill from JuneTailor fold and press and pin and measure and press and turn and fold and press, I had the basic idea. I'm the kind of sewer that wants it done fast and I don't want alot of prep work like plugging up an iron and trying to find a ruler. It doesn't have to be perfect for me, just practical. The fabric is nice enough that if you fold it down and crease with your finger, it stays. The prints are nice enough, not quite as pretty as the front of the package but they will do and neutrals are good for men. I just pressed with my finger and pinned in place and honestly guessed at the measurements. It took me 17 minutes to make the first one, for the second I knocked it down to 11 minutes. The elastic is nice and stretchy and I was really pleased. The company is kinda cool, if you like sewing, you should check out their website.

The instructions are easy to understand and follow if you've ever sewn before. Easier than a regular pattern, so I would rank this with novice (think beginning home economics project). I did not go to the video, the written instructions were enough for me. You will need thread and an iron, plus the sewing machine. My kit only had 7 pieces of fabric (plus the filter fabric), but it was a non issue for me, I have fabric on hand. There is website to use to reach out and I had a number to call 800-844-5400. I did receive these for no charge to review and give my honest opinion. Hope this helps someone.

I admit Im not the best at sewing but I have seen better instructions than this. For one thing, the instructions should indicate by some sort of pattern the right side up, leaving the back side plain. lso, I think there are several steps that could be skipped to make this easier. I followed the instructions perfectly but the elastic was still a little snug for my face. I did like that there are 4 different masks included in this set. I am going to try a different way of making them to see if it turns out better. I also wasnt crazy about the selected material options. I think to have these reversible, maybe one side should be a plain color with no pattern on it, while the other side could have a pattern. All in all though its a good project and in this needed time of such a product, Im very appreciative.
