How to Sew a 3D Face Mask Free Sewing Pattern

Learn How to Sew a 3D Face Mask With Filter Pocket, Nose Bridge, and Ties with This Sewing Tutorial and Free PDF Pattern Download.

After many requests, I'm sharing my 3D face mask pattern! Of the five different face mask patterns I've shared so far, this mask might just be my favorite!

Wearing a 3D mask is preferable to many styles of masks because it sits further away from your face creating a pocket of air that can be breathed in easily. This style of mask is incredibly comfortable, the 3D style allows for more room around the mouth and nose while still providing a secure fit around the nose and chin.

As I'm preparing my children to return to school in the next few months, I knew I needed to create a pattern that would be easy for my kids to wear. The good news is that these masks have been tried and approved by both of my school-age kids! I sewed up a handful of them for my daughter in fun prints, and we added some pony beads to make them more playful. Just don't forget to tie a good knot at the end of the tie!

But this mask isn't just for kids!! This 3D mask pattern is available in 7 different sizes including Toddler, Child, Preteen, Teen, Adult, Large Adult, and XL Adult. So it's perfect for the whole family!

*Face masks are similar to bras in that you might have to try a few sizes before you find the perfect fit! Don't get discouraged, every face is shaped differently so this is to be expected. Personally, I sew the adult size for myself and it's a perfect fit!

STEP 1. PRINT THE 3D FACE MASK SEWING PATTERN

Begin by downloading the pattern to your desktop. Open the download and print at 100% with no scaling.

Immediately measure the 1″x1″ square to make sure the pattern has printed off correctly. Tape or glue the pattern together and cut out each pattern piece. Align the black lines and pink stars.

If you plan on cutting out multiple masks, you can cut the template out of something sturdier like a cereal box or cardstock. 

STEP 2. CUT OUT FABRIC FOR YOUR 3D FACE MASK

Fold the main mask pattern piece along the corresponding fold line. I like to use my iron (without steam) to set the crease.

FREE 3D Face Mask sewing pattern featured by top US sewing blogger, Sweet Red Poppy.

Cut out 2 layers of the main mask and one filter pocket. Cut a 1″ wide strip of t-shirt material to 35” to create an around the head tie. Stretch the t-shirt material by pulling it tight.

STEP 3. IRON & SEW FILTER POCKET ON YOUR 3D FACE MASK

Fold the main mask along the fold lines of the pattern and iron the fabric. This will create a top stitching guide for a later step.

Make sure the main outside fabric is being folded with wrong sides together.

FREE 3D Face Mask sewing pattern featured by top US sewing blogger, Sweet Red Poppy.

Fold the right and left side of the filter edges under 1/2”, press and sew along the fold.

FREE 3D Face Mask sewing pattern featured by top US sewing blogger, Sweet Red Poppy.

STEP 4. PIN AND SEW YOUR 3D FACE MASK

Place the filter on top of the main mask fabric with right sides together. Make sure to center the filter pocket.

Pin along the top of the filter.

Pull the filter pocket downwards to meet the bottom of the mask. It will be shorter than the actual mask. 

Pin in place. Place the lining right side down and pin around the entire mask leaving the sides unpinned.

FREE 3D Face Mask sewing pattern featured by top US sewing blogger, Sweet Red Poppy.

Sew around the mask leaving both sides open. Don’t forget to backstitch!

FREE 3D Face Mask sewing pattern featured by top US sewing blogger, Sweet Red Poppy.

STEP 5. TURN MASK RST, PRESS & SEW FOLDS

Turn the mask right side out, making sure the filter pocket gets turned to the side of the lining fabric. Use a turning tool to push out the corners of the mask. Press all seams avoiding the pre-pressed topstitching lines.

FREE 3D Face Mask sewing pattern featured by top US sewing blogger, Sweet Red Poppy.

Fold the flaps inward and pin the filter out of the way. With a 1/8” seam allowance sew along the pressed edge. Press the topstitching. Unpin the filter and push it into the folds of the mask.

FREE 3D Face Mask sewing pattern featured by top US sewing blogger, Sweet Red Poppy.

STEP 6. PRESS & SEW CASINGS

Flip the mask face down. Fold the raw edge inwards 1/4” and press. Fold the edge in an additional 3/8" and press. Pin the casing in place and sew along the inner fold of the casing.

FREE 3D Face Mask sewing pattern featured by top US sewing blogger, Sweet Red Poppy.

Pull the corner of flap upwards to create a 90-degree angle. Pin in place and sew parallel to the casing stitching line. 

FREE 3D Face Mask sewing pattern featured by top US sewing blogger, Sweet Red Poppy.

I like to draw in a stitching line parallel to my casing line to ensure I sew straight.

To create a nose bridge pocket sew 3/8” from the top seam along the filter pocket.

STEP 7. CREATE STRAPS FOR YOUR 3D MASK

TIES – First off, you can create a T-shirt casing that goes around the head. To do this, cut a length of knit fabric or a t-shirt 1″ wide by 35″ long. You can adjust this measurement as needed.

Attach a safety pin to the t-shirt tie and feed it upwards through the right-hand casing and downwards through the left-hand casing. The tie can be adjusted once it is placed on the wearer for a better fit and tied at the base of the neck.

FREE 3D Face Mask sewing pattern featured by top US sewing blogger, Sweet Red Poppy.

You can also create adjustable ear loops using pony beads. Cut a knit tie about 13" long. Feed the knit tie through one casing. Bend a piece of wire in half and slide the pony bead onto the wire. Slide both ends of the knit tie in between the wire, pull the wire to feed the bead onto the ties. Now you can adjust the ear tie using the pony bead.

FILTER – A filter can be slid into the mask through the openings on either side. Attach a safety pin to the side of the filter to help feed it through the mask.

I am just a customer trying to save the generous owner some steps, she's already done so much for us already. I hope this helps. Sometimes, I find if I can't do something on the computer, just ask your kids or brands.... they know how to do it all.... lol.....

          Yes, it is warm but my physician husband wears it ALL day because it is most importantly effective. And more comfortable than most. I use the blue Tool Box Shop towels, 2 layers as research was done using these.

      I have Evernote (there is a free version) - and you can "clip" the directions as "simplified article" and it takes out everything except the article/directions. You can then print that. It's also a great place to save all of your information in one place and be able to search by tags. This is what I do for directions I want to print without all the extra!

      Hi, I use Google Chrome and have added the extension Print Friendly & PDF. It converts a blog post to an article that you can print. You can click on anything you want removed and it disappears, then save the article as a PDF.
      I also sometimes use the command to Print, then scroll down to More Settings, then there should be a choice to open as a PDF or save as a PDF somewhere in that dialog.

      Annette, I'm not the awesome artist/crafter who owns the website. If it helps, you can search 3D face mask on the internet and see many examples. I have sewn this style of mask previously using information from Youtube but, fair warning, most are in a foreign language so you have to be very visual and able to convert from centimeters to inches and so forth. LOL This happens to be my fave style of mask for personal use.

    The only modification I have made to them is to use cord locks to slide up the ties rather than having to tie a bow behind your head.

      I buy the folder clasps (the ones that adhere to the top of a folder, like the ones the doctors use to hold papers with two holes at the top of the page).
      Use utility scissors to clip off the sides, leaving only the adhesive band that can easily attach to the mask. 1/2 x 3 inches. They are about $6.00 per 100 on Amazon. There are thinner metal bands that are being advertised as “adhesive mask bands”, also on Amazon, for a little more $., but not much more, and they are not as wide. Both options are Inexpensive and work well.

    Sew around the mask leaving both sides open. Don’t forget to backstitch!

    STEP 5. TURN MASK RST, PRESS & SEW FOLDS
    Turn the mask right side out, making sure the filter pocket gets turned to the side of the lining fabric. Use a turning tool to push out the corners of the mask. Press all seams avoiding the pre-pressed topstitching lines.
    Turn the 3d face mask right side out
    Fold the flaps inward and pin the filter out of the way. With a 1/8” seam allowance sew along the pressed edge. Press the topstitching. Unpin the filter and push it into the folds of the mask.

    STEP 6. PRESS & SEW CASINGS
    Flip the mask face down. Fold the raw edge inwards 1/4” and press. Fold the edge in an additional 3/8″ and press. Pin the casing in place and sew along the inner fold of the casing.
    Sew the casings on the 3d face mask
    Pull the corner of flap upwards to create a 90-degree angle. Pin in place and sew parallel to the casing stitching line.
    I like to draw in a stitching line parallel to my casing line to ensure I sew straight.
    To create a nose bridge pocket sew 3/8” from the top seam along the filter pocket.

    STEP 7. CREATE STRAPS
    TIES – First off, you can create a T-shirt casing that goes around the head. To do this, cut a length of knit fabric or a t-shirt 1″ wide by 35″ long. You can adjust this measurement as needed.
    Attach a safety pin to the t-shirt tie and feed it upwards through the right-hand casing and downwards through the left-hand casing. The tie can be adjusted once it is placed on the wearer for a better fit and tied at the base of the neck.
    You can also create adjustable ear loops using pony beads. Cut a knit tie about 13″ long. Feed the knit tie through one casing. Bend a piece of wire in half and slide the pony bead onto the wire. Slide both ends of the knit tie in between the wire, pull the wire to feed the bead onto the ties. Now you can adjust the ear tie using the pony bead.
    FILTER – A filter can be slid into the mask through the openings on either side. Attach a safety pin to the side of the filter to help feed it through the mask.

    The 3D is my family’s favorite now, but I never found enough sizes. When I tried to size down for my grandchildren (3-5), I made them too small or too large. So your pattern will be perfect! I’m using it for my donation masks, instead of pleated masks, going forward too.

    How would you use the elastic if you don't use the knit for the ties? Measure how much to go through the casing and then sew together the ends? Thanks so much Anja for the printed instructions only, saved everyone a lot of time. I agree that a video would be very helpful, still not sure of some of the steps. Thanks so much the this pattern and instructions.

      Janet, I'm not the originator of this pattern but have sewn several like this from Youtube videos. If you choose to use elastic you could try this:
      1) For over the ears, cut a length for each side to match your preference. Thread thru the casing and knot the ends to make it a comfortable length for you. Slide the elastic for each side until the knot is hidden inside the casing. (You could sew the elastic together too, then slide until that sewn area is hidden in the casing.
      2) For around the back of the head, cut one long length of elastic and thread thru casing similar to the ties in the pattern. Clip or fasten the ends to make the elastic tight enough but comfortable, then sew the ends together or knot them. Slide that knot or sewn area until it is hidden in one of the side casings.
      Hope this helps!

      Hi Cass, the post has been updated with a video to help! If your mask didn't turn out to be 3D it probably means you didn't pull your corners tight enough. This is what causes the mask to pop away from your face.

    I have been doing this mask style for quite sometime. There are some very good tutorials on youtube and you can see the mask on someone (search for 3D mask) - just turn off the sound, because they simply play music. A hint for all of you: It is much easier to cut the fabric on the fold and simply cut "1/2" a mask for the lining and outside fabric. Fold the pattern in half so that largest portion of the pattern (the center) fits on the fold. Also, when doing the 3D effect, make sure the wing is vertical and straight and that the top edge point on each corner fits in line with the horizontal portion. You will see what I mean on the youtube tutorials. I also use my machine's quilting guide to make sure I sew completely in line with the ear loop seam. I have so many people requesting this style, I am getting pooped! I am about to try this particular pattern for the first time to see how it fits, as I had made my own previously. I am looking forward to seeing more of these masks around that I personally didn't sew for someone!!!!

    There are three things I need to be clarified:
    1. 2 & 4 go together to make the pocket for the filter Yes ? Therefore 1 & 3 go together to make the mask?
    2. Instructions sometimes say filter and sometimes filter pocket. I "assume" that the blue piece is the filter pocket. What is that material? Supplies does not list but 1/2 yd
    quilting cotton.
    3. What are you using for the filter? That is not in the supply list either.

    Thanks for the step by step clear instructions for the 3D face mask. I have watched so many of these. Finally after watching your video I feel confident to give this a try. I have a question: Is there a way to match the physical measurements of one's face ( from bridge of the nose to the eat and bridge of the nose to the chin) to determine the size of the mask to sew instead of doing it by trial and error? Could you please suggest the pattern sizes that maps to the physical measurements?

      I'm a novice with sewing, so I don't know what the usual convention is, but in the past few months I've come across patterns where the seam allowance needed to be added when cutting the fabric and others where it was included in the printed pattern, and usually the only way to tell which was which was through comments / Q&A left by people who were trying to make the pattern. It's been several months since you left your question, and it doesn't seem to have been answered anywhere. I hope someone comes along to answer it!

    Do you include instructions on how to add a flexible nose piece if one is not including a filter? I made my own casing for one (that will use wire like the other masks) and it would seem that the best time to add the wire casing would be just after you turn it right side out and before you top stitch the folded edge.

    I really like this mask; its very simple once you figure out the "3D" bit.. Thanks for the pattern and video.
    I made a few modifications:
    - I skipped the filter pocket and instead just used a casing for the nose strip (as was done for the "fitted" mask)
    - I made the pieces about an inch higher (cut the pattern in the middle and inserted an extra inch of paper); and then used that extra to create a pleat. It made it even roomier in front of my nose and mouth -- which made it even easier to breathe.
    - the next one i make, i'm going to try using a separate casing for the ties (to avoid the extra bulkiness because of the extra pleat)

      Make sure you choose 100% in the print dialog. As long as one side of the 1x1 is correct, it should be fine. Mine was cut off too-- I think because it's designed for A4 paper, and I'm using letter size (8-1/2 x 11). I just estimated where to join the pages together!

Plus, my 1" scale box is dead on but the 5 cm box is not, it's bigger than 5 cm. So I don't know which is correct.

      The printout should have black-line borders around the edges, and you cut or fold along those to match up the pattern pieces (using the stars to help line it up). The missing word issue I also had - the watermark page number covers it up, but interestingly doesn't do that when I view the PDF in Chrome, so I copied the info from there. That portion should read "Fold over 3/8" (1cm)."

      My printout also is exactly on with the 1-inch square, but the 5cm square actually measures exactly 2-inches (5.1 cm). I'm intending to rely on the 1-inch square's accuracy when I make my first attempt at this, though I'm still trying to figure out a few other questions before I start cutting.

    Love the pattern, I modified the ties. I use a bigger bead and run the tie through again. Slides up and down really easy, and I used a pony bead at end to ensure you don’t slide tightener bead off. My husband has a muscle disease that makes his muscles atrophy, he just couldn’t grasp the pony beads. Hope it was ok to make that adjustment. Thank you for the wonderful pattern.

    I've made hundreds and hundreds of masks, but I have not made one specifically for myself yet. I want to try this pattern for myself!

    I’ve made about a hundred of these and live them! The people I make them for live them too - very easy to breathe in them. Love the range of sizes too - my partner has a big face and so many masks don’t stay up on his nose - made him the extra-large adult size and it’s a perfect fit! Thanks so much for this pattern!!

    These are my favorite masks to make and wear. Gives you more breathing room and I think easier to make.

    One thing that is not mentioned in the typed instructions, but is mentioned in the video, is that the seam allowance is 1/2 inch. My masks came out too big using a smaller seam allowance.
    This design allows you to showcase specialty printed fabric so much nicer than other designs I've used.
    Thank you for posting the pattern and the video.

    Hi. I love this pattern, have wanted to try this style. I was unable to print the actual pattern. Is it possible to get measurements for the pattern itself? Thank you!

    Your 3D mask is my go-to mask to make now. It's the only mask that fits my small 5 yr old's face the best!
    I've been taking off the loops from the disposable masks and using them on these masks because its more gentle around her ears than elastic.

    Hi,
    I know it's been almost a year since you posted this video but for the life of me I can't figure out how to fix this sewing problem. I sew a teen size mask for myself but on the bottom chin there is a hanging gap. I've resolved to pinching the middle and sewing another stitch to close the gap so it can rest on my chin. Any suggestions what to fix the gap problem?

    H
    I am in the process of making this but I do not understand this direction "To create a nose bridge pocket sew 3/8” from the top seam along the filter pocket.".
    Please explain.
    Also, what kind of material are you using for the filter pocket? It looks like gauze in the picture.
    Thanks for your help

      If you're wanting to add a nose bridge (wire to bend to the shape of your nose), you'll just sew a stitch 3/8" from the top of the seam of the filter pocket.

      Here's a video - hopefully it helps! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEOl5GZsgcU&t=3s

      I'm using cotton.

    Your video is easy to follow and professional. The 3 D mask is exactly what my 2 1/2 year old grandson needs for pre-school. Unfortunately, I have tried unsuccessfully for an hour to print a readable pattern. I measured the 1” square and doubled my print size since my square measured 1/2”. Both patterns I printed were totally unreadable. All the other pages are clearly printed. I’m thinking about winging the geometric pattern on my own. At this point I’m 2 hours in to the effort. MADDENING!!.

      I'm so sorry that you're having trouble with the pattern. When you print it off, be sure to set your printer to 100% or no scaling. This should print it off correctly. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    Hi! Just wanted to say thank you SO much for this great tutorial & pattern! I’ve made a bunch for my sons & they fit great & my son prefers them to any other masks I’ve made in the past for him. I have no idea if anyone will scroll this far down the comments, but I wanted to add some things I’ve discovered to really nail this pattern. First, when doing the last “3D” stitch, I’ve found that in addition to making that horizontal line, pinning the point of the top & bottom flap in line with the stitched center crease really makes the mask bump out. I pin there & then make it a straight line across, this also helps keep both sides even, as I had a couple crooked masks at the beginning. Another trick to help with this I’ve found is to sew each fold individually rather than a straight line. I start at the top, stitch down to the crease & then backstitch. Then I take it out turn it around & then sew the bottom, so it looks more like two darts rather than a straight line. This keeps the edge in place & keeps both sides even. I also needed to sew my almost 2 year old some first masks for school this year. I wanted them to be soft & fit well, so I opted for some stretch Jersey I had, rather than the more mask appropriate batik fabrics I used for my older son. I also skipped the filter, since I really need to make sure he can breathe freely. I used the smallest pattern size & sewed a 5/8” seam allowance to make it smaller & it’s perfect for his tiny face. It fits amazing. I get so many comments on how well it fits & other toddler parents always ask me where I got it. Last I use Jersey fabric for ear loops rather than the behind the head straps in the pattern. I cut 22”x1” strips, stretch them & then cut in half & they’re perfect. Then I push both through a pony bead with a thin knitting needle & tie a small knot on each end to keep it from slipping off. This makes the mask fit really well & the ear straps are soft & comfy & adjustable. I hope all that made sense! Thanks again! I really appreciate your patterns!
