Toileandtrouble's Entry
I wanted to try out as many mask patterns as possible, so sorted out suitable fabrics. It turns out lots of them were pink and why not. The picture makes them look greyish but that must have been the lighting. The masks I made show the proper colours.

Patterns, clockwise from the top,
Gentleman Doll. Made this to match a summer dress (- 25 tomorrow, so may wear it)
Trend patterns looks like it, but I thought it was from a Korean/Chinese video. I thought it gave the option of bagging out or binding the edges and continuing it on to make ties. Manage to lose the 'address' although I have the printout pattern. The outer is pink elephants on navy, lined with the pink striped shirting. It has a filter pocket inside although I don't use it. This one is the best fit of all of them.
Dhurata Davies I found the measurent made it a little small, will try a larger size next time.
McCalls. Easiest of all to make
Sew Much More in Store. Nice and simple, quick.
Pretty pleased with them all, but the 'Trend' one fitted best for me. Had to measure the elastic length individually for each type, the measurements suggested sometimes a little loose, sometime tight. Must depend on the type of elastic as well as the individual head. Since the close date I have received a delivery of adhesive aluminium strips to fit the top edge better, but not had a chance to fit them yet. Still waiting for some tiny toggles which would make it possible to adjust the elastic to fit while wearing.
