Different material badger mask
I thought I’d try this mask but use elastic instead of ties. I cut my elastic 6 1/2 inches for each side. I would make it more like 5 and a half inches. If you want snugger fit

Denim mask
It looks very nice, but the seam down the front will let micro particles in unless it is lined with appropriate blocking material. That's why it feels like you can breath better, because you can. Its barely blocking anything. You might as well just tie a bandana around your face if you want this level of protection. Easier & cheaper

instructions unclear for trim ties
I upcycled blue jean leg, but used flannel as the liner. Couldn't figure out from the instructions how to attach the rainbow ties. Will use pipe cleaner with the next one for a better fit to my nose.

Can't see the back
I download the pattern to save file. That way you get the full pattern size of 4" when you print. I would have like to see the back of the mask.

Great Fit!
I made this mask without the trim and used elastic for the ear loops instead. Love the fit. I did leaves the sides open and turned it using the open ends. I think that method is much easier.

Denim Mask directions
I agree with Connie that leaving the sides open to turn is easier. I also think its a good way to use use up quilt binding you may have leftover, or other premade tapes, as the ties. sewing the binding on will automatically close the sides.

Comfy & breathable design.
I quickly learned the hard way that the straight pleated masks are uncomfortable, difficult to breathe while wearing and fogged up my glasses. I made this today using old jeans that I had stashed away in my sewing cabinet (I’m a fabric hoarder). Rather than add the cloth ties I used 1/2” elastic that I cut to 1/4”. It was my first time sewing denim and it was a bit bulky on the edges so I used a lightweight cotton for inner liner. Turned out great. The template is spot on. I found that there is no need for nose wire in this project because of the countour of the pattern and stiffness of the denim.
