Back in March 2020 I went on a frenzy to find face masks. I started watching YouTube videos on how to make them, but quickly found that I didn't have any of the important tools like an iron, pins, or a sewing machine. So, I turned to Etsy. I bought a simple, stylish mask from a Ukrainian shop and months later my mask finally arrived! It was a delightful mask, however to my disappointment the fit was terrible on me... The ear straps wouldn't fit over my ears and the mask barely covered my face. This was the final push I needed to start sewing my own masks. I bought an iron and some pins and borrowed a sewing machine.

Months later, I've been continuously iterating on designs to find a signature face mask pattern and have made >100 face masks to date for myself and as gifts for friends and family.
The Vision:
Create a reusable cloth face mask that has a filter pocket, full coverage over nose and under chin, a customizable fit, multiple sizes, and when possible use repurposed fabric. Also, make it cute.
The Hannahmade Fitted Face Mask
Provides a snug fit around the nose and chin offering full coverage.
