I thought the pattern and instructions were just fine. Made a couple and love the pony tail holder idea ... genius!

What is the issue ?
I am looking at the pattern and the instructions. I am not understanding what the problem is that the other reviewers are complaining of. It’s all there. 5”x8” or 5” x9”. Fold mark laid right out on the pattern for you. Reading the instructions you are guided to sew all around the edges and after turning right side out and pressing you are instructed to measure and sew the pleats in. Just like the photo of the mask. The store also offers already made masks. Perhaps you want to consider that option. Just saying.

Inadequate-Doesn't completely cover the nose.
Why provide a pattern that is ineffective? Misleading to crafters trying to protect their children.
It doesn't cover the nose.

wrong PDF pattern, not for a pleated face mask
wrong PDF pattern, not for a pleated face mask
Why do all the pleated masks instructions have the wrong PDF mask pattern attached?

Doesn’t make sense- someone needs to proofread
The instructions don’t match the pattern - I think this is a good idea but based on reviews people are just irritated

Not a bad project. Cut on the fold is genIus.
Great little project that can be duplicated for community service. I was able to use basic sewing skills and knowledge to produce a quality project. Loved it. Thanks for the pattern.
