How to make simple DIY sew reusable face masks with fabric under 8 minutes

Hi friends! 

 Successful 4th week stay at home. How are you? I hope you all safe. I was little hesitant to post this tutorial because I am not perfect sewist but today I'm proud sewist 😎, I made face mask whenever the whole world 🗺 in need of it. 

Now our state governor suggested that wearing a mask or face covering is helpful against the coronavirus. Wearing a face mask gives you a little protection, actually it helps more to protect others, while de-stigmatizing mask wearing in our state recommends, so that anyone who’s sick with COVID-19 won’t feel embarrassed or uncomfortable to wear a mask.

In our nearest pharmacies, the masks are not in stock. Until last week, I used scarf to tie on nose and mouth whenever stepped outside. I told he same to my family when stepped out, they are not comfortable with my idea, so that decide to sew masks for everyone in my family.  By the way, this is about wearing basic masks, not N95 masks. In case you have cartoon fabrics do make face mask for your kid, then they love to wear it.

We use a small piece of fabric and only take 8 minutes to make.
