DIY Surgical Face Mask with Filter Pocket

While above, we got a basic idea of how to make a surgical face mask. This instruction list adds a bit of more creativity, by adding space for an additional filter. This method provides extra protection as opposed to the simple mask and provides more filtration to particles. We start the process by folding the fabric, with the wrong sides made to face each other. Place a paper template onto the fabric and pin it down. Next, cut the fabric after leaving a three out of the eighth portion for the seams. Leave a one-inch fabric allowance for the outer layer and almost half an inch for the inner layer. Next up, trace the sewing lines with tracing paper if available.

In the next step, turn the fabric over and pin the pair together, with right sides facing each other this time. Sew the curved tracing lines together. Draw a line approximately a quarter of an inch away from the original sewing line of the inner layer and repeat the process to the other edge of the inner layer. Followed by clipping the seam allowances half an inch apart. Repeat the clipping process on both the outer and inner layers.

Now turn the pieces right side out, put pressure on the seam allowance to one side and topstitch near the seam line. Repeat the same process for the inner layer and fold the second side next to the original sewing line of the inner layer. Topstitch to sew onto it and repeat the process on both sides of the layer. Next step put the inner layer on top of the outer layer. With both layers onto each other, sew the top and bottom crease lines. It might be noticeable now that the inner layer edges are almost a quarter of an inch away from the outer layer sewing line. If this does not seem to be the case, repeat the previous steps correctly. Clip curve the seam allowances on the point where the two layers meet. Leave approximately a half-inch from the ends, unclipped.

Now come to the outer layer and double fold the bottom and top edges, followed by stitching near the top edge. Proceed to repeat the same process with the bottom seam edge. Leave the margins and pockets on the side for the elastic bands. Use a top seam edge stitch to make a vertical line and sew on it. This would leave an opening in the top and bottom to have an opening for insertion of the elastic band. This point would also serve as an opening for the filter insert.

Adjust the elastic bands to the pocket face mask, according to your dimensions and choice. You can insert a surgical mask into the fabric to act as an additional filter. Otherwise, a dried antibacterial wet wipe can also be used instead. Change the filter every day and wash the fabric for a much better and hygienic experience.
