Sewing a mask specifically for glasses wearers: A good idea if your glasses tend to fog up when you wear a mask.
Don't you also find it really annoying when your glasses keep fogging up when you wear a mask? At least that's often how it is for me.
That's why there is now a mask that is specially adapted to the needs of glasses wearers. It fits so well that non-glasses wearers will probably enjoy it too. I can imagine. ;)

How this mask for glasses wearers fits
The mask wraps around the chin and is cut slightly deeper at the nose. The nose bridge ensures that the mask fits well and securely and does not slip.
How can you wash & care for the glasses-wearer mask?
It is important to clean the mask after every use. When breathing, germs are released onto the fabric , which multiply in the moist environment that develops during use.
Washing the glasses-wearer mask in the washing machine
Before washing, you should remove the nose bridge.
It is recommended to put the masks in a wash mitt for washing. This helps to protect the fabric.
In principle, however, many jerseys and sweat fabrics withstand temperatures of 60–90 degrees. If necessary, use a hygiene softener. You can also iron the mask. Then there is a high probability that you have killed the disease-causing germs.

Sterilizing the mask in the oven
Sterilizing face masks in the oven can also be a good way to quickly put the masks back into use.
Place the mask on a suitable surface and put it in an oven preheated to at least 120 degrees for around 10 min. Here too, generating additional water vapor can help.
This means that the mask may be moistened. You can also place a container of water in the oven.
Sterilizing the face mask with the iron
Also a way to effectively kill heat-sensitive germs.
Iron the fabric with steam on the highest setting for at least 2–3 minutes. After that, the mask is ready to use again.
Enlarging or reducing the glasses-wearer mask
To sew the mask for children, you can reduce the sewing pattern to 80–90%, depending on the child's age.
To enlarge it, you can add a 1.5 cm seam allowance to the top edge and the sides
What you need for the glasses-wearer mask
To sew the mask for glasses wearers, you don't need much: a little cotton fabric, two elastic bands, a piece of bias tape, a nose bridge, and a sewing machine. And you can get started.
Note on cutting: A seam allowance of 0.7–1 cm must be added to the sewing pattern!
By the way, I like to cut the masks with a rotary cutter and the patchwork ruler, because I find that it allows for the cleanest work. But you can also work with a sharp pair of scissors.
This also means that measuring out and cutting out the additional seam allowance is done in a single step. Practical, right?
