![]() ![]() There is enough space around the pieces that it can also print onto A4 paper: the one inch square should measure 2.5cm. It is a 4 page document, for printing on US letter size. This is a link to the PDF on Google Drive. As with most quilting projects, it will generally get to be a little bit smaller again once it is all sewn together, so keep that in mind. I highly recommend making one in paper or cardstock first, because we all have different sized heads. The actual “pattern” for this project is a geometric net. You will just need to keep a lot better track of what is what, because the pieces are all slightly different and they only go together one way. If you only have a laser printer, or your inkjet hates you and wont let you print on interfacing, I still recommend using fusible interfacing for structure and precision piecing. Printing onto interfacing means I know my dimensions are perfect, and I have the markings on the pieces so I know what joins to what. (My pictures look a little different because my original A4 version fits on the page differently than the shared version) Alternatively, depending on the brand, you can “fuse” it onto some non-stick baking paper, cut it to size, and then peel it off without losing too much adhesive.

I am not promising anything, different methods will yield different results, I have never made a pattern exactly as it was written and neither should you. There is not a whole lot of explanation of the basic techniques, and it requires a fair bit of precision, two types of fusible interfacing, and an assumption that you can keep a consistent seam allowance and do some hand sewing and know when to sew things right sides together and such. Just as a heads up, this pattern is not really recommended for beginners. Here it is! The instructions to make a pieced and quilted plague doctor mask! ![]()
