LightHouse Krafters Korner Hangout: DIY No-Sew Mask Workshop

LightHouse Krafters Korner Hangout: DIY No-Sew Mask Workshop


Sep 12

As the COVID-19 pandemic persists, three recommendations remain constant: wash your hands frequently, maintain physical distance from those who do not share your household with as much as possible, and wear a mask over your mouth and nose to minimize potential viral transmission via vapor and droplets produced when you breathe, cough, or sneeze. We’re going to cover your options for DIY no-sew masks made from items you already have around your house that you can fall back on in an unexpected maskless moment. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Scissors
  • A clear flat work surface
  • Mask 1: a lightweight cotton t-shirt; long sleeve is preferred, short sleeve may also work.
  • Mask 2: an odd cotton sock you don’t mind cutting.
  • Mask 3: a short sleeved, cotton t-shirt you don’t mind cutting up.

 

Note that these are not masks taken from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website. If you are a blind stitcher and/or would like to do some extra credit, you can access the CDC’s sew and no-sew homemade mask alternatives. For a deep dive on the who, what, when, where, how, and why of cloth masks to help prevent the spread of coronavirus, visit COVID-19: Considerations for Wearing Masks at the CDC website.
