make your own Olson mask

You do not have to be a whizkid on the sewing machine to make your own Olson facemask, in fact sewing them by hand is perfectly fine – it just takes longer. The principles are the same whether you use a sewing machine and an overlocker or just sew by hand.

There are lots of patterns and tutorials out there to help you make your own mask.

Here are two links that helped me getting started:

The sewing is quite quick and relatively easy – it’s the preparing everything that takes time. If you only have a sewing machine and no overlocker, then the tutorial is quite good.
