Make sewing a fitted mask pattern easier by cutting in your Cricut Maker! Get the free SVG to make this easy-to-sew fitted mask with ties or elastic.
Last week I created a pleated mask SVG pattern to cut on your Cricut Maker. The response to that mask cut file has been overwhelming—it’s been my top post for the last 30 days. I’m so glad it’s been helpful to folks, and I’m also still so sad that it’s needed at all.
Today I’m partnering with my friend Kim from Sweet Red Poppy. She designed a sewing pattern for a fitted mask. Because I’ve had several requests for a fitted mask pattern that can be cut on the Cricut Maker, with her permission I’ve digitized her pattern for you and created an SVG!
This mask is designed to be cut on a Cricut Maker with the rotary blade. Unfortunately, the Cricut Explore will not cut un-bonded fabric. If you iron on interfacing before you cut, you can use the Bonded Fabric blade and your Cricut Explore, though the results aren’t quite as clean as the rotary blade.
About Homemade Masks
It looks as though authorities are moving toward suggesting the general public wear masks while COVID-19 is spreading. Homemade masks are designed to protect others more than the person wearing the mask. Even if you don’t feel sick, asymptomatic people can still transmit the virus. Wear a mask to protect others as much as yourself! It’s a great way to love your neighbor. Here are a few options:
- Pleated Mask Pattern
- Fitted Mask Pattern
- Filter Pocket Fitted Mask Pattern
- No-Sew Mask Pattern
- Scrub Cap Pattern
Masks can also help protect you from touching your own face—I know that’s something I struggle with.
From what I understand, many medical professionals won’t want a fitted mask, they’ll want a pleated mask. Fitted masks are good for the general public. If you are sewing for healthcare workers, make sure you know what they want before you start sewing.
Note that masks are NOT a replacement for following public health mandates like social distancing, staying at home, and washing your hands. Stay home and keep everyone as safe as possible!

I reworked Kim’s pattern as an SVG for the Cricut Maker so that masks could be cut quickly and easily. Cutting has always been the most difficult part of a pattern for me because of tendonitis in my hands, so I am hoping others find this pattern useful.
This Cricut Maker mask SVG is free (I’m not even asking for your email!) so that as many masks can be made as possible. See more about Cutting Fabric on a Cricut Maker. Need help with your Cricut? Get started with my Cricut Basics eBook!
Please see Kim’s post for sewing instructions!
Make sure to wash the mask in very hot water before wearing and in between uses.
Modifications
If you’d like to create more of a filtered mask, you can use a non-woven iron-on interfacing. You can use this pattern to cut four pieces of the interfacing, and iron to the wrong side of the fabric. This may help stop the spread of germs even more.
In her pattern, Kim used two different fabrics to show front and back (this is also how I designed the cut file). I have heard from several people that instead of using a different fabric for the back, use the same fabric but make it wrong-side out. Then that side is clearly the inside of the mask and helps avoid confusion.
If using bias tape, I found it easier to sew it before assembling the mask, rather than the last step.
Have any questions? Please let me know in the comments! Stay safe out there!

Hi,
Thanks so much for creating the pattern for cricut. I’m only now exploring my cricut. However I can’t seem to get the file to open up in design space. I’m doing it on a iOS. When I try to open it, I get the error message that it’s a zip file and I need to unzip it first. How do I unzip the file? Any help you can give in this would be really appreciated.
Thanks so much😊

Which size mask is this pattern as compared to Sweet Red Poppy pattern? Is it the Large Adult? Or the Adult?
Cori George says
This is the adult pattern. I’m working on the additional sizes soon!
Cara says
Any update on the other sizes?
Elizabeth says
Sorry to be so lame but… how do I download the svg file? I’m using IPad and when I click the link it opens App.box.com with HLMS_Fitted_Mask.zip with an svg file and pdf file. What do I do next????
Cori George says
Here’s a post about uploading SVG files to Cricut Design Space: https://heyletsmakestuff.com/upload-svg-files-to-cricut-design-space/
Debbie says
Sweet Red Poppy’s printed pattern shows 5 different sizes that can be made. The SVG pattern that I downloaded in order to cut the mask on my Cricut Maker is just one size — WHICH SIZE is it?? Adult? Large Adult? Teen?, etc. Thanks!
Jacky says
I was just looking for the answer for this question too. I do not see. Might have to cut it out on paper then compare to the original printer copy to see what size it is.
Cori George says
This is the adult pattern—I haven’t had a chance to size it for the other masks yet.

Thank you so much for sharing this pattern! There are many of us trying to make these masks in large numbers, and I will use this pattern to cut a template so I can cut multiple layers of fabric and make the work go faster. Bless all you enablers who support the work we are trying to do!
Justice Nicole says
Don’t be an idiot like me! The SVG pattern is colored backwards. I thought oh I’m using two different colors I’ll cut like the two different colors organized in the SVG. . Well uh you need mirror images of each color!! So I have to cut way more fabric because I have the same sides. And let me tell you that doesn’t work 😂 so just cut your first fabric with all four of the pictures and then your second fabric with all four of the pictures NOT by the color coding 😂 oops on my part! I’m totally new to this 😂
meganmarie says
I’m new to cricut and have successfully dowloaded the file. However, it has all four pieces overlapping. Do I need to hide some layers or “attach” them? Can you walk me through how to actually take this file from svg to cut? I have the pattern imported to makerspace and I know how to click “Make” and select materials, just trying to be sure I don’t wreck my fabric!
throwsadisc says
Yes! This is my predicament as well! Total noobie
throwsadisc says
So I figured it out. I ungrouped the items in design and then spun my mat around. You have to re-load your mat 4 times to make the four cuts. They don’t all fit on the same mat at once. Hope that makes sense!
Leah says
Why don’t they fit all on one mat?
Gay Prewett says
Try clicking ‘Make it’. You will see the pattern pieces are spaced out properly on the mat or mats so they are not overlapping. However if you ‘attach’ the pieces, they will remain overlapped and you will have a mess.
Paule-Marie says
I just got a cameo silhouette and still learning it. Will this SVG file work with it? Thank you
Amy Motroni says
Yes, if you have the Silhouette Studio Designer Edition.
Happy Crafting!
