Are your old clothes making your closet space cramped?

To kick off Nghệ, TimTay has released the first video with suggestions on how to recycle old clothes into a convenient mask - an indispensable item when going out in the new normal days.

You can watch TimTay's tutorial video on IGTV or start doing it by following these steps:

Prepare tools:

  • Scissors
  • Needle
  • Thread
  • Two pieces of leftover fabric
  • Stiff paper to make a pattern
  • Elastic band
     


Steps:

  1. Cut the paper according to the pattern prepared by TimTay below.
  2. Cut the fabric according to the pattern into 4 pieces corresponding to 2 layers of the mask, including the lining layer and the main layer.
  3. Main layer: Sew the 2 pattern pieces together using a blanket stitch
  4. Lining layer: Do the same as the main layer
  5. Lay the 2 layers of the mask on top of each other, fix with a needle.
  6. Cut 2 pieces of elastic. Each piece is about 13cm long
  7. Place the elastic between the 2 layers of the mask.
  8. Sew the 2 layers of the mask together. Leave a piece of about 5cm to turn over.
  9. Turn the mask inside out.
  10. Sew the remaining 5cm piece.

Message from TimTay
To be able to be as creative as possible in making masks, choose a comfortable space and a glass of your favorite drink!
