Another simple no sew t shirt mask
Updated: Nov 12, 2020
I made a t shirt scarf from a sleeve yesterday and while cutting it I looked at the sleeve and realised that it would be very simple to construct into a mask. So here is a short tutorial.
Lay the shirt flat down on the table.

Cut the sleeve off under the seam.

Cut the hem off the sleeve, don't throw it away you can use it as one of the ties instead of elastic.

This is what the cut sleeve looks like.

Cut off the hem at the bottom of the shirt above the stitching line,

You now have one tube. Cut it into 2 pieces.

Your 2 sleeves and 2 longer hem cords.

If you prefer to have 2 long cords to tie behind your head, take both the cords and string them through the sides of one of the sleeve like this.

Fold the top part of the t shirt down behind the back part like this

Pull the cords and one mask is ready.

The second option is to thread through the sides of the sleeves as above using the 2 shorter cords that you cut off the bottom of the sleeves.

Knot the ends of the shorter hems to create 2 earbands.

Your second mask is ready as well.
If you use a long sleeved t shirt your masks can be cut higher (longer) . Measure from between your eyes, over your nose and under your chin adding on about 5-7 cm to see how long it must be cut.
