Love this mask pattern!
This mask is so much better than the standard pleated mask pattern! It stays put and is more fitted to the face. And there are instructions! There are two PDFs to download - one for the pattern, and another for the instructions.
The only reason that I didn't give this a 5-star rating is that more information about the sizing would be helpful. 1 additional size for men would be good, too. :)

Easy and concise
Not sure why the previous reviewer is confused on this. Perhaps new to sewing? The template, which is a pattern, & like every sewing pattern,shows half of a mask. It states "cut 4" .That is of 4 of each size. That means 4 pieces of material. If you are using a print, make sure you have your material right sides together. Place pattern, Cut . Move pattern, cut. You will end up with 2 peices for inner, and 2 pieces outer.

Pattern is incomplete
PDF merely contains a template (in 4 sizes) for the left-hand and right-hand shaped fabric pieces. There are no instructions of how many of each to cut, nor of how to put them together.
