3. Apply fusible interfacing to wrong side of cotton fabric using an iron.
4. Fold fabric right sides together, matching 9-inch (8-inch) sides.
5. Sew along the 9 (8) inch side, using 1/4” seam allowance and leaving a space 3” wide in the center to turn mask right side out.
6. Cut 2 pieces of elastic 7 inches long. Insert into the corners of the two open ends of the mask and pin into place. Sew across sides, backstitching well over the elastic, to secure the elastic in place.
