=== The fabric === You can cut pieces from a clean T-shirt, or buy new cotton woven fabric (or draw on an existing fabric hoard if you've got one). For an adult mask, use one 9-by-12-inch piece, folded over to 9-by-6, or two 9-by-6 pieces. For a child mask, use one 7.5-by-10-inch piece, folded over to 7.5-by-5, or two 7.5-by-5 pieces. For straps (if not using elastic or ribbon), cut four strips of one inch by at least 16 inches. Give yourself an extra inch of length if using a bias tape maker. If you're working with a printed fabric, think about how the cut will frame the pattern (e.g., for licensed characters or other designs with a right way up). The mask is horizontal (9-inch or 7.5-inch is the longer side), and you should cut straight across the fabric or along the fabric (with the grain). Two separate pieces of fabric is easier to work with when you're installing straps rather than elastic; it's also a way to use up fabric that isn't big enough for a one-piece mask (e.g., if you're making masks from a fabric quarter, which is 18-by-22, you can cut two 9-by-12 pieces and two 9-by-6 pieces, leaving an 18-by-4 remainder).
