I used the same pattern I used here. The differences are that I have the bias trim so that the ties cross under the chin now to wrap around the lower part of the skull and tie at the base of the skull. Also, the lovely black lace is a bit different. :-)
I had some left over black lace from an 1860's Ball gown that I apparently never published here. I made the gown a long time ago and really loved the look of the lace. The piece left over was only long enough for one 18th C cuff but I couldn't part with it. Luckily, it's now the perfect fit for a facemask! I stay stitched it to the top of the facemask, matching centers, and then added the upper bias trim.
It was fun to wear this while grocery shopping. I plan on making a few more like this - including one with my beaded coin trim because when else will I get to wear crazy stuff like this and no one think anything of it? :-)
