Place the two liners right sides together, sew with a 1/4" seam allowance around all outside edges leaving an opening for turning. Turn right sides out, top stitch all edges.
Hand stitch liner around the inside crochet mask. Use a hand stitch about 1/2" apart so it can easily be removed to wash then hand stitch back on.
