Steps
Print the V7 mask template at full size and cut it out with scissors. Check the scale against your head before you cut any fabric.
Tape the paper template to your folded Lycra and pin it down so it cannot shift. Place the fabric on a lightboard or bright window to line up the pattern.
Cut the fabric through both layers with sharp fabric scissors. Keep the pins in until every piece is cut.
Sew the main mask pieces together with a stretch stitch and stretchy thread. Backstitch at the start and end of each seam.
Sew the neckpiece to the mask where the template marks the join. Try the mask on and mark the eye positions with a marker.
Cut the eyeholes along your marks, then hand sew or machine sew the triangular and quarter-circle bra pads onto the forehead and eye area for shape.
Cut lens shapes from clear plastic packaging. Glue black T-shirt fabric to the plastic, then glue white mesh over the fabric for the lens look.
Test the lens position on the mask before gluing. Apply hot glue around the lens edge and press it onto the mask.
Trim the inside of the lenses so they sit flat and do not press on your eyes. Glue the mesh layer last and let it dry.
Tips and common mistakes
Use 4-way stretch fabric only, because woven cotton will not stretch over your head.
Keep hot glue away from your skin and never glue lenses while wearing the mask.
Sew a test seam on scrap Lycra first to set the right stitch length and tension.
Mark eyeholes while wearing the mask so they line up with your eyes.
Questions
Can I make this mask without a sewing machine?
Yes, but hand sewing stretch fabric takes much longer. Use a stretch stitch or a zigzag stitch if you have a machine.
What can I use instead of bra pads?
Thin foam sheets or craft felt can add shape to the forehead and eye area. Glue or sew them in the same spots.
Will the lenses fog up?
They can. Leave small gaps at the bottom of the lenses or use mesh with larger holes for airflow.
