Materials used: 100% Premium Cotton (Oeko-Tex Standard 100), 100% cotton poplin or organic cotton | 125gsm and lined with 97% Cotton / 3% Elastane | 190gsm or 100% Premium Cotton (Oeko-Tex Standard 100), 100% cotton poplin or organic cotton | 125gsm
You can see examples of previous masks in the gallery here. All the masks come with elastic you tie behind your ears to fit your face. THESE MASKS ARE PERFECT FOR QUICK SHOPPING TRIPS FOR EXAMPLE.
They are lined and have an opening to insert additional filter material for extra protection (this is not included with the mask). You need to wash the mask at high temperature after each use and when in use, please DO NOT TOUCH IT until you take it off, and put straight into hot water with soap when you get back home. WASH AT 60 degrees C.
As a filter you can use non-woven materials (corovin cloth, interfacing but even dried baby wipe or tissue paper and you can use more layers if the material is too thin) but make sure you BIN IT after each use and replace it. Note: Respirator and medical mask filters are typically composed of mats of non-woven fibrous materials, such as wool felt, fiberglass paper, or polypropylene.
Links to some suitable filter materials: this one is used inside medical masks – Melt-blown non-woven material or you can use non-woven S13 heavy sew-in Vilene interfacing or Dipril material
You should wear them to keep the tiny droplets expelled in breath or coughs from landing on surfaces that could be touched by others or as a reminder to not touch your face. This type of masks is useful when you go shopping for example, use only for shorter period of time, not all day. Wearing this type of masks for public is better than using precious medical masks that key workers need.
This is NOT a replacement for surgical or clinical masks! They are not clinically certified. They are for those wanting to do a little extra to minimise the spread of sprays from their mouths and noses.
These masks help to create a barrier from water droplets and dust and are a visible but attractive sign that your are doing your bit in protecting others and reduce risk for yourself.
Lots of people wear them incorrectly. Please make sure you do not fiddle with them, do not touch the outside once you are wearing it as this would pass droplets onto the fingers. Clean your hands with soap and water or hand sanitise before touching the mask.
IMPORTANT:
- This mask is to help to reduce spread of droplets between you and others.
- Frequent hand-cleaning with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water is necessary.
- You should still use 2m social distance in public where possible
These fabric masks should be washed at 60 degrees. You should also steam iron them but avoid ironing the elastic. Please note these masks cannot be returned or refunded.
Please contact me on contact@sewansome.co.uk to discuss any specific requirements.
Here is a rationale why even this type of mask can help a little: https://medium.com/@Cancerwarrior/covid-19-why-we-should-all-wear-masks-there-is-new-scientific-rationale-280e08ceee71
For health reasons, the masks cant be refunded once open

We purchased some reusable facemasks for our employees to wear whilst driving buses. They have found them to be comfortable and easy to wear. The order process was quick and simple and they were delivered swiftly with comprehensive instructions. Would happily recommend to anyone!

Gorgeous, so soft and easy to wear, beautifully made.
I’ve gone from scepticism about these to being convinced by the science the last couple of weeks, I think we will all be wearing them soon, and these are perfect!

Hi. I just wanted to thank you for my face mask. It is so well made and the fabric so cheerful. I am so very pleased with it. I don’t think I will be venturing out for some time but will feel a lot more confident when I do. I will also not have any feelings of guilt that I am threatening the supply of masks for the NHS.
Thank you again.
Stay safe and well

I ordered a couple of masks for my family hoping to just keep them handy for as and when we might need them, but I was so blown away by the quality of the masks and how brilliant they are that we decided to order more for our wider family to use. The fit is excellent, the quality is very good and Magda is fantastic. I will 100% recommend this service to those not wanting to use up medical masks or throw too much extra waste in the bin in these challenging times! Wishing you all stay safe & Well!

I have just received my second order of masks from Magda. Initially I ordered three masks for myself, my husband and my granddaughter. Having seen the quality of materials and finish on my first order, I immediately ordered some more for my wider family members. You may have to wait a little while for your masks to arrive, but you will understand why when they arrive. The finish is excellent, these are very well made face masks. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Magda again.
Carol –
Brilliant
Just taken delivery of 2 face masks and am really pleased with the quality of the workmanship. In these difficult days it is heartwarming to find a company that is prepared to provide a good product, reasonable price and good customer care. Well done.

Exceedingly good masks!
Bought some face masks to use when at work. The masks are all-day comfy, the wire support over the nose really helps. Well made and the perfect fit for me. Thank you very much.
Mrs S. –
I have now received 15 masks from Magda, started as an order for myself, husband and children and ended up having to order for all the family as the quality, fabric choice and value for money are unbeatable online. The masks are easy to care for, give excellent coverage, are breathable and adjustable. I cannot recommend this lady enough!
Petra –
I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for the face masks I ordered. They arrived on Friday and I had the chance to try mine already.
The masks are really well made, fit well and my hubby and I love the fabrics! Thank you again for the masks, great customer service and speedy delivery!!!
Emma –
Fantastic product, fits well and great designs to choose from which encouraged my daughter to feel more comfortable wearing a mask. As a wearer of glasses the design stops my glasses steaming up too.
Quick delivery too.
Marie –
I’ve been looking online for ages For descent face masks and I wasn’t disappointed. Excellent quality fabric nose wire fits close to face which is a must if you wear glasses! Comfortably fits from nose to under chin but there’s still enough room so you don’t feel claustrophobic. Next day delivery. Would definitely recommend. Thank you for offering a quality product.
Hilary –
Thank you for your really quick service and great product.
Julie –
I have purchased the majority of my facemasks from Sewansome and have just bought 3 more. There are lots of fabric designs to choose from. The quality is high and delivery has always been made on the day I’ve ordered. Thanks Magda.
