Teen / Tween / Tiny Cotton Mask Tiny Houses by So Gingerly

So Gingerly masks for teens are made with two layers of pre-washed, high quality quilting cotton, sewn with organic cotton thread, and finished with colorful and soft elastic straps that tighten with a silicone adjuster bead. Each mask is hand cut, sewn, finished, packaged, and shipped from my home studio.

The mask has a 1/4" wide elastic loop that is approximately 40" long, which is more comfortable for long term wear than elastic ties behind the ears, without being bulky along the neck, on the sides of the face, or on the head. To wear the mask, extend the lower loop of the elastic and pull it over the the head much like you would put on a necklace. The mask will lay on the chest like a bib at this point. Then grab the knotted end of the elastic, placing the mask along the face, and pull the bead toward the head to tighten the fit. The tighter you pull the elastic, the more fitted to the face your mask will be.

The mask's general dimensions are:

• 3.5” along each side (tie channels)
• 5” at center (vertically, from nose to chin)
• 9” across horizontally (ear to ear)

The CDC recommends, and many state and local governments require, that people wear face coverings (masks, etc.) while in public. Doing so is a social good because it contributes to international efforts to control the spread of COVID-19, flatten the curve, and keep s you and your communities healthier and safer in these pandemic times. Tightly woven quilter's cotton is the fabric suggested as the best choice for masks as it is the least porous option available to home sewists.

This listing is for one So Gingerly cotton mask. All efforts have been made to provide images of masks that reflect the colors and textures of the fabrics. Some variations may be visible between screens. Additionally, due to the handmade nature of this product, there may be slight variations in fabric pattern placement.
