This tutorial is suggesting to make a mask out of medical material, which is suitable for medical workers in direct contact with Coronavirus patients. A mask made of regular cotton fabric is sufficient for general public as protection against bigger particles, like droplets when someone sneezes close to you. I made one for myself and it stays on the nose without sliding off. Very easy to sew one too.

Scrub caps if they are custom made are a huge deal for surgeons. So as my daughter was about to start general surgery residency, she asked me if I could make a custom scrub cap for her - I used to sew for people for 20 years back in Russia. I still love to sew, I am creative like that. So I went searching on the internet to find a pattern to make a scrub cap she wanted: really tight fit, with elastic band in the back and, of course, I know she is going to pull on those ties, so seams might break. That's where zigzag stitch comes in handy.
I found bits and pieces online, and made up my own pattern. Decided to create a video tutorial too. Enjoy making scrub caps for your surgeon!

K to 12 Tailoring/Dressmaking - Basic Hand Stitches Rona De la Rama
This document describes 7 basic hand stitches: 1) Back stitch resembles machine stitching and strengthens seams. 2) Basting is used to temporarily hold fabric in place before permanent stitching. There are 4 types of basting. 3) Running stitch is made by pushing the needle in and out of the fabric in a line. 4) Outline stitch is similar to back stitch but slanted, overlapping each stitch. 5) Blanket stitch is made 1/4 inch from the fabric edge, putting thread under the needle point. 6) Catch stitch makes diagonal lines that cross for a flat hem finish. 7) Chain stitch brings the thread under the needle tip while in the fabric.
This document provides instructions for various types of hand stitches used in sewing including overcasting, overhandling, hemming, blind hemming, and slip stitching. Overcasting involves making slanting stitches along a raw edge to prevent raveling. Overhandling uses close, straight stitches to create a strong, flat, invisible seam. Hemming involves small slanting stitches that catch a thread or two of fabric under the fold. Blind hemming is similar but catches less fabric under the fold to be invisible on the right side. Slip stitching takes tiny threads through a turned edge fold and underlying fabric for invisible sewing on facings, folds, or hems.

This document discusses different types of seams used in garment construction. It begins by defining a seam as a method of joining two pieces of fabric together. There are several types of seams that are used for different purposes, including plain seams, double top seams, French seams, flat fell seams, welt seams, lapped seams, and piped and slot seams. Each seam type is described in terms of how it is constructed and what types of fabrics it is best suited for. Seams are an essential element of garment construction as they join fabric pieces together to create finished garments and accessories.
The document discusses basic hand stitches for sewing including:
1) Back stitch - resembles machine stitching and strengthens seams;
2) Basting - holds fabric temporarily in place until permanently stitched;
3) Running stitch - involves pushing the needle in and out of the fabric in even stitches;
4) Outline stitch - similar to back stitch but slanted, overlapping each stitch;
5) Blanket stitch - involves putting the needle through the fabric edge and under the thread;
6) Catch stitch - used for flat hems, taking tiny stitches beyond the hem edge.
This document provides instructions for making a therapeutic neck wrap. It uses fabric from the Michael Miller Organic Collection, including natural organic sheeting for the insert and tan organic gingham for the cover and ties. The insert is made by sewing compartments to hold flaxseed or rice and essential oils. The cover features ties and a cuffed opening. Detailed steps are provided to construct the insert, add the ties to the cover, and finish the cover either with raw or French seams.
This document provides instructions for making a bow. It includes a list of trimmings and materials needed. The objectives are for students to describe, make, and appreciate a hand-sewn bow. Trade terms are defined such as bow, knot, right side, running stitch, seam, and trim. Reminders for sewing are provided. The procedure details how to make the bow and knot. Scoring rubrics evaluate students on making a balanced bow neatly and on time. An evaluation with multiple choice questions tests understanding of the terms and process.
Catchstitch is a row of Xs on the wrong side of a garment that holds two flat edges together flexibly and strongly. It attaches a raw or folded edge to a garment and can create a hinge, often being used for sewing linings or applique. Basting stitch is an even stitch that temporarily joins two layers together with longer, wider-apart stitches like a running stitch.
The document provides instructions for various hand stitches including running stitch, backstitch, stem stitch, herringbone stitch, blanket stitch, buttonhole stitch, tack stitches, couching stitch, French knot, bullion knot, fly stitch, satin stitch, shadow stitch, overcast stitch, overhand stitch, and padding stitches. Each stitch is defined and the method for making the stitch is described through both text and diagrams. Common uses of the stitches include seaming, hemming, embroidery, basting, and reinforcing fabric edges.
This document describes three basic hand stitches: the running stitch, backstitch, and slip stitch.
The running stitch is made with small, even stitches that run in and out of the fabric without overlapping. The backstitch is made by doubling the thread back on part of the previous stitch. The slip stitch, also called a ladder stitch, is useful for closing seams invisibly, with the thread following the fold of the fabric.
1. The document provides instructions and information about various basic hand sewing stitches for dressmaking and tailoring.
2. It describes 7 different hand sewing stitches - back stitch, basting stitch, running stitch, outline stitch, blanket stitch, catch stitch, and chain stitch. Diagrams and explanations of how to perform each stitch are provided.
3. The document also mentions that there are 4 types of basting stitch: hand basting, machine basting, pin basting, and basting edges with an iron. Rubrics for evaluating hand sewing samples of the different stitches are included.
The document provides instructions for making tab top curtain panels with pieced fabric and a blackout lining. Key steps include piecing the curtain panel fabric to the desired size, finishing the raw edges, adding mitered corners, attaching tabs and a facing to the top of the panel, and inserting the blackout lining between the facing and pieced fabric to hide seams and protect from sun damage while providing a nice drape. The lining also has the added benefit of allowing children to sleep in longer by blocking outside light.
The document provides sewing rules and guidelines, including keeping fingers away from the stitching line, keeping the presser foot down while sewing, and not forcing or pulling the fabric as the machine will feed it automatically. It also notes to use the thread cutter or shears to trim threads, watch the seam guide rather than the needle, and thread the machine like the letter P.
The document provides instructions for basic hand sewing including necessary equipment, materials, patterns, steps, tips, and basic stitches. The key points are:
1. Basic equipment includes sewing needles, straight pins, and fabric scissors. Patterns are traditionally paper and pinned to fabric before cutting.
2. The basic steps are to choose a pattern, cut pieces, pin to fabric, cut fabric, sew details and main pieces, tie knots, stuff if needed, and trim threads.
3. Tips include using thread no longer than arm length, tying knots at thread ends, making small stitches, and tying knots at seam ends to prevent unraveling. Overhand knots and basic stitches like running stitch are demonstrated.
This document discusses various types of hand stitches used for embroidery, sewing, and needlework. It defines embroidery, sewing, knitting, knots, and crochet. It then describes 14 basic hand stitches - backstitch, blanket stitch, chain stitch, cross stitch, French knot, herringbone stitch, ladder stitch, lazy daisy, running stitch, satin stitch, stem stitch, whipstitch. The stitches are used for decorative embellishment, reinforcing edges, outlining shapes, and completing projects requiring open seams. The document was prepared by Ms. Aeros Jane L. Jimenez, an embroidery teacher.
This document provides standard operating procedures for producing slub jersey fabric. It outlines controls for fabric production, cutting, and sewing. For fabric controls, it describes checking yarn counts and twist compatibility with slubs. It recommends using fewer feeder machines to control twisting and avoiding larger diameter machines that could cause problems in finishing. For cutting controls, it advises prewashing fabric, relaxing layers below 4" in height and cutting within 2-3 meter lengths, allowing some angle adjustments up to 12 degrees for grain lines. For sewing controls, it only notes using smooth overlock machine settings for side seams.
This document provides instructions for creating appliqué quilt squares through two approaches: a one layer square and a three layer square. For a one layer square, fabric pieces are cut out and sewn onto a fabric background square. For a three layer square, fabric pieces are sandwiched between a backing fabric, batting, and top fabric before being sewn together and embellished. The document also describes methods for appliqué embellishment including using paper patterns, fusible interfacing, and various hand stitches to attach cut fabric shapes to a background.
This document provides instructions for making a pillowcase with an inner flap using two coordinating fabrics. The main panel is made from a single piece of fabric that is at least 1.5 yards. It has cuffs sewn on each end, with one cuff having an inner flap. All seams are enclosed using a French seam to prevent raveling. Detailed steps are provided for cutting and sewing the pieces together to complete the pillowcase.
There are several types of pleats that are used in clothing and upholstery to gather fabric. The main types are accordion pleats, knife pleats, box pleats, and inverted pleats. Pleats add extra room and allow fabric to move, gathering a wide piece of fabric into a narrower space. Their main purpose is functionality - pleats allow for more freedom of movement and prevent tightening and creasing, especially in areas like the hips when sitting. Pleats can be found on many different garments and accessories.
The Noriko handbag is a graceful yet whimsical bag made from a single pattern piece. It has two side panels that can be tucked in to close the bag flat for storage. Handles and a button closure are attached to complete the look. The instructions provide details on cutting fabric, assembling the bag pieces, adding handles and a button loop, and finishing techniques like topstitching. Decorative tassels can be optionally added to embellish the bag.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

The Nervous and Chemical Regulation of Respiration
Mask Making Tutorial - DIY
1. MASK TUTORIAL
This mask consists of 2 layers of HALYARD ON H600 medical fabric. (Typically used to cover
sterilized surgical instruments.) It has a 16 Gauge copper or brass wire sewn in at the top and
fabric ties reinforced with regular acrylic yarn.
The mask in the tutorial has passed the Respirator Fit Test.
The medical grade fabric is provided by the hospital and comes in varying sizes.
Pull the two layers apart. If you pull gently-the fused areas will come apart just fine. If it
creates holes-then you will need to cut the fused part (or the holes!) off.
Stack both layers when cutting. Cut and you have the 2 pieces needed. A cutting mat, ruler
and rotary cutter makes cutting a breeze! A 36” wide cutting mat and 36” ruler and works
great!
DO NOT press the medical grade fabric - it will melt!
LET’S GET STARTED!
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
1) Medical grade fabric (Halyard on H600)
2) 16 gauge craft wire
- Darice Craft designer Brass or Copper 16 gauge wire
-avoid aluminum wire as it will not retain shape
-any non aluminum wire will do
3) Needle/Jewelry Pliers with round tip and wire cutter
4) Mask Ties - this tutorial uses fabric for binding/ties on mask. Optional suggestion for
elastic ties at end of this tutorial)
- NOTE : ties from medical fabric can rip, these can be reinforced with yarn
-Red Heart Super Saver Yarn (100% Acrylic) is what we used
5) Cutting mat, ruler, rotary cutter if available
6) Sewing Machine, thread, scissors, pins/clips
2. FABRIC:
*Medical fabric 7”x8”—cut 2. Use the blue layer for the top layer. White layer will be
used on the bottom.
Tip: I cut them stacked - a strip 8” tall and turn the strip and cut 7” pieces!)
FABRIC TIES/BINDING FABRIC:
Cut a strip of the medical grade fabric 1”x36”. Cut 2.
Tip: If the medical fabric you are using is not 36” wide, cut 2 pieces 19”x1” and you
can overlap them when it is attached to the mask. I leave them stacked and cut
together.
Cut 4 pieces of Red Heart Acrylic Yarn or similar yarn or string - 36” (2 for each
side). Note: The yarn is placed inside the fold of the fabric when you are sewing the
tie/binding fabric on.
If you are using elastic, use 1/8”, 1/4” or round elastic. Cut them 20” long if you are
going to staple them. If you are going to sew them on then you will need to make them
25” long so a knot can be made as needed to adjust the tightness. **see the last page
of this tutorial for elastic instructions**
FABRIC CUT 7”X8” AND TIES CUT 1”X36”
We are no longer
using the cotton or
flannel fabric!!
Only use 2 layers of
medical fabric.
3. WIRE:
Cut 1 piece of 16 gauge wire (not aluminum as it is too soft) 6 inches long. Use your
pliers to bend a curl on the end. Do this by placing your pliers at the very end of the
wire, grasp the wire hard with the pliers and turn counter clockwise until the curl
touches the wire. Then use the flat part of your pliers to press the loop flat so the end is
now tucked away and won’t poke out or catch on anything. The end result will be
about 5.5” long. (Make sure your loops are going the same way and lay flat!)
GRASP TIP OF WIRE FIRMLY WITH PLIERS
TURN PLIERS UNTIL LOOP TOUCHES THE WIRE
4. WIRE IS NOW ABOUT 5.5” WITH LOOPS ON THE END.
THE LOOPS ARE FACING THE SAME WAY AND LAY FLAT.
FLATTEN THE LOOP WITH THE FLAT PART OF THE PLIERS AND PRESS FIRMLY.
THIS WILL HARDEN THE LOOP AND MAKE SURE THE CUT END IS TUCKED IN.
5. GET READY TO SEW! (NOTE: The short sides are the top and bottom and they will be
sewed first.)
Layer your fabric starting with the bottom layer as follows:
White medical fabric face up. (short end towards you)
Blue medical fabric face down; line up all layers and pin on long sides about 1/2”
in to leave room to sew
LAYER THE 2 MEDICAL FABRIC LAYERS
LINE UP LAYERS AND PIN ON SIDES
We are no longer
using the cotton or
flannel fabric!!
Only use 2 layers of
medical fabric.
6. Pin the sides and now you will sew (using a 1/4” seam allowance) across the shorter ends.
1/4 SEAM ON SHORT ENDS
1/4’ SEAM ON BOTH SHORT ENDS
TURN RIGHT SIDE OUT (YOU WILL ONLY
HAVE 2 LAYERS)
We are no longer
using the cotton or
flannel fabric!!
Only use 2 layers of
medical fabric.
7. Turn right side out and use your fingers to press the seams flat. (DO NOT press with an iron as
any heat will melt the medical fabric!). Pin each side. Now you should have an envelope with
two open ends and the top and bottom have seams.
ENVELOPE WITH SHORT ENDS SEWN-NOW TO
TOPSTITCH! LOOKING PRETTY!
TOP STITCHING
IS DONE!
We are no longer
using the cotton or
flannel fabric!!
Only use 2 layers of
medical fabric.
8. NOW WE ARE READY FOR THE FUN PART!!
Take your prepared 16 gauge wire and push it into the seam allowance of one (either
one!) of the seamed sides and push it in until it is centered.
Tip - I try to get it between the blue and white layer so that the wire is padded on the cotton/
flannel side. But don’t sweat it - just get it in there!
Turn the project over so the blue side is up and put a pin below the stitch line where the wire
is. This is now the TOP! (The pin will help you remember where the top is as we start the
pleats.)
INSERT THE PREPARED WIRE INTO THE 1/4” SEAM
LIKE THIS BUT PIN ON THE BLUE SIDE!
Pretend this is the “BLUE” side!!
We are no longer
using the cotton or
flannel fabric!!
Only use 2 layers of
medical fabric.
We are no longer
using the cotton or
flannel fabric!!
Only use 2 layers of

9. Lay the project in front of you. Blue side up, with the wire edge at the top. Measure down
2 inches from the top edge and mark with a pin or a permanent marker. Now you are going to
make 3 - half inch pleats that all go down.
PLEAT 1: At the 2” mark, fold fabric to the back about 1/2 inch and then fold back the other
way. ( A 1/2 inch pleat). Use a pin or clip to hold it.
MEASURE DOWN 2” FROM THE TOP EDGE
ON EACH SIDE AND MARK
PIN AT 2” FROM TOP. FOLD BACK 1/2” TO CREATE 1/2” PLEAT #1
We are no
longer using the
cotton or
flannel fabric!!
Only use 2
layers of
10. PLEAT 2: Fold back about 1/2 inch, and then down leaving a 2nd 1/2” pleat. This pleat lines
up right next to the first one.
PLEAT 3: Again, fold back about 1/2 inch, and then creating a 3rd 1/2” pleat which lines up
just below the 2nd one.
FOLD BACK 1/2 INCH TO CREATE 2ND PLEAT
FOLD BACK 1/2 INCH TO CREATE 3RD PLEAT
We are no longer
using the cotton or
flannel fabric!!
Only use 2 layers of
medical fabric.
We are no longer
using the cotton or
flannel fabric!!
Only use 2 layers of
medical fabric.
11. BEFORE YOU SEW - WE NEED TO MEASURE THE WIDTH OF THE SIDE YOU JUST
PLEATED. It needs to be 4 Inches from one side to the other side. Adjust your pleats as
needed until you have 4 inches!
PLEASE Be sure to adjust the pleats as needed until the width on the side is 4 inches.
This is important as too short and it won’t go under the chin in some cases and too long it
could be too long and leave more gap on the side of the face.
Repeat on the other side. They don’t have to be perfect, just make sure it’s 4 inches!!
PLEATED SIDE NEEDS TO MEASURE 4”
12. We’ve worked so hard on those pleats so let’s SEW THOSE PLEATS DOWN! Sew 1/4” on
each side to fasten down the pleats to secure them on each side.
PLEATS CLIPPED AND READY TO SEW!
1/4” SEAM TO STITCH THE PLEATS
13. ALMOST THERE!!….
FABRIC TIES:
Elastic may be hard to come by, so this tutorial focuses on how to make fabric ties.
Take your 1” medical fabric strip, fold in half and mark the center. Place the center mark in
the center of the pleated side, under the pleated edge. It should be about halfway under (it will
go in a tiny bit further than the 1/4” seam line”). Fold it over the front (blue side) and clip to
hold.
PLEATS HAVE BEEN STITCHED DOWN WITH A 1/4” SEAM ON
BOTH SIDES. NOTE THE PIN IS AT THE TOP WHERE THE WIRE
IS AND ALL PLEATS POINT DOWN.
PLACE BINDING/TIE STRIP UNDER THE EDGE OF
THE MASK ABOUT HALFWAY
14. Fold the binding/tie fabric over the front (blue side) and clip to hold. You will find it’s hard to pin
the layers so a clip might be better. Once you’ve sewn a few you can do it without clips or
pins!
When you sew - USE A 3/8 INCH SEAM! I use a regular foot on my machine and just use the
edge of the foot as a guide as it’s about 3/8. This way, your 1/4” stitching to hold the pleats in
place won’t show!
I like to start in the middle. Top stitch using a 3/8” seam all the way down to the edge of the
mask and when I reach the strip, fold the strip in half and keep on sewing to the end! Back
stitch the ends. Turn over. Overlapping the stitches, finish sewing the other half and down the
tie. Do this on both sides. If you are using and overlapping 1”x19” pieces instead of a 1”x36”
piece - overlap them by 1/2” in the center of the side; clip and top stitch the same. (the
medical fabric does not fray so no additional seams are needed)
I also like to sew a second line of stitching on the sides of the mask as reinforcement for the
ties.
BINDING/TIE FABRIC IN PLACE READY TO SEW! ADD
THE YARN!!!
CHANGE: Add the 2 lengths of
yarn inside the fold as you sew!
This is needed to strengthen the
ties so it can be ties snugly
without breaking.
15. REMEMBER-3/8” SEAM AND ADD THE YARN IN THE
FOLD!
OVERLAP STITCHING AND SEW THIS END OF THE BINDING/TIE-HERE IS
WHERE YOU WOULD OVERLAP SHORTER PIECES
CHANGE: Add the 2 lengths of
yarn inside the fold as you sew!
This is needed to strengthen the
ties so it can be ties snugly
without breaking.
We are no longer
using the cotton or
flannel fabric!!
Only use 2 layers of
medical fabric.
16. ONE SIDE DONE! ON TO THE OTHER SIDE…
BOTH TIES ON, NOTE 2ND LINE OF STITCHES ON THE SIDE OF THE MASK.
ALL FOLDS POINT DOWN AND THE TOP IS WHERE IS SHOULD BE - MY PIN IS
AT THE TOP STILL!
We are no longer
using the cotton or
flannel fabric!!
Only use 2 layers of
medical fabric.
18. SIDE VIEW - OH YEAH! PLENTY OF ROOM FOR MOST NOSES!….
SWEET! READY TO RUMBLE!! BE SAFE EVERYONE!!
19. ELASTIC TIE OPTION - (Note- so far our testings shows the fabric ties pull
tighter than elastic!! This is important where that snug fit is critical.)
There is a shortage of elastic so the tutorial was based on fabric ties. You can use any material
to construct the ties. Another tutorial will be done soon to show the elastic ties. At this point
this is what I would recommend.
Complete your mask as listed above though stitching down the pleats. Once the pleats are
stitched you will need:
Binding: Cut a piece of medical fabric 1” x 5”. Pull the blue and white pieces apart after you
cut it. (If you are making more than one mask - you can cut more 1”x5” pieces from the fabric,
pull them apart and sort by white and blue!)
Project blue side up. Place the binding under the pleated edge halfway (it will go in a tiny bit
further than the 1/4” seam line”). Fold it over the front (blue side) and clip to hold. Top stitch
1/4” all the way down. Do this on both sides. (same as in the above tutorial except you will
only be covering the edge of the mask!)
Trim the edge of the binding even with the edge of the mask.
Cut 2 pieces of elastic 20” long. Good options are 1/8”,1/4” or 3/8” braid elastic or round
elastic. Staple the elastic on TOP (the blue side) in all 4 corners. This will allow the mask to
seal against the face and the staple should allow the user to pull the elastic to tighten as
needed. Make sure the staple curls properly on the underside so there are no sharp points.
Note: You need a heavy duty staple and make sure the underside is smooth to the touch.
I use my pliers and press the ends into the fabric. (Our tests with a regular staple did not
work-when you pull it tight the staples bend)
STAPLES WITH ELASTIC
