I know this kind of wastes thread and a 1/4 inch wide strip of fabric but it was easier for me to do it this way than sewing a 5/8 inch seam accurately or adjusting the pattern, because I really wanted to use the template. Then use the curved edge on the template to trim off your first seam. Now, stop and sew a second seam 1/4 inch away from your first seam. Your first seam is the curved seam that goes over the nose in the center of the mask. Cut out the mask and lining on the original lines. I came up with a solution that worked really great.

If you put too many pleats in a mask it doesn't seem to fit right and it just looks kind of shoddy. I have no experience sewing clothing or nonquilting stuff so when faced with a dilemma like this my mind draws a blank. I made a children's mask (size small) for my 4&7 yo gds and the fit was not tight enough. I added four pleats, two on top, two on bottom but was still not the tight fit I wanted. I wore it out shopping and it kept slipping off my nose even though I added a nose wire. I made a test mask for myself using the medium size. A few weeks ago I got my new CG facemask template and was excited to use it.
