DIY Prym kit mask tutorial

Hey everyone !

Today I wanted to share with you guys these awesome PRYM DIY mask kits !

As lot’s of you know , I have been making hundreds of face coverings these past few weeks on sale via our sewing school website . Over the last few weeks I have had lot’s and lot’s of requests for a tutorial to sew your own , and when I saw these awesome Prym Sewing kits I just HAD to share them with you all 🙂

Each kit comes with four pieces of ready cut fabric , elastic and metal nose clips plus some instructions.

Now the instructions are multi lingual and just a few images , which I know a lot of you guys find tricky to follow.

So I’ve taken a few photos and made a short tutorial for you below 🙂

You will need :

Your Prym Mask Kit

A measuring tape or ruler

Your sewing machine ( although you could totally make these by hand sewing)

A safety Pin , some wonder clips and an Iron.

Ok , so fold your fabric in half ( check the measurements on your instructions card).

Put the metal nose piece in the middle and draw around it , leaving a gap around the outside. Now , slide the metal piece INSIDE the folded fabric and use some clips to hold it tight. Stitch around your drawn box as above.

There we go , one nose piece.

Now on the bottom of our rectangle you will see we have two edges.

With some clips and an iron , fold those two edges inwards like the photos below to create a hem .

Now do the same on the other edge , so the top and bottom long edges of our mask has a hem.

Fold the whole thing over , so they touch , and re clip them together ( so the good sides of the fabric are facing you , and the wrong sides are touching).

Stitch !

Yay ! Nearly there now…

Next we need to make casings for the sides for the elastic to slide through.

Fold the edge fabric in and then over again using the measurements on your instruction sheet. Give them an Iron and stitch along the inside . Repeat on the other side

Last bit ! Thread your elastic through the channels you just made using a safety pin ,tie to size and slide the knot inside …now wear your mask ! and make the other three !
