My DIY Tutorial for Face mask and Buff’s from Leggings or Yoga pants.







- Here is Gail and her original Buff from when she went to Mongolia. Taught yoga in Mongolia, when visiting her oldest in the Peace Corps.
- I selected the OSU colors for my LuLaRoe Leggings. Go Pokes!
- Taking my original Buff and measuring how much to cut, I may have added an inch to the length.
- I can get two Buffs from a pair of LuLaRoe Leggings.
- I then pin the fabric sides together to prepare to either sew by the machine or hand sew.
- Using my Pfaff Sewing Machine, pin right sides of fabric together, then sew down the seam to make a tube shape. In this case I used the serged seam as a guideline to where I’d sew. Optional to trim off that seam.
- Turn the finished tube with the fabric to the outside and try on. If need be, you could take in more if the buff slips. I found that I did not need to take in the side seam any, and the face covering/buff stayed up nicely.
DIY on making from the ends of Lularoe leggings or yoga pants into a face mask. Now Sewing required.
So I had a lot of left over leg ends, after I made the “Buffs and Gators” from the top of the Lularoe Leggings….

I saw on my statistics someone typed in DIY Lularoe leggings into a face mask. Looked at it and thought, well I could make it simpler… Here’s the PDF ==> Upcycle your Lularoe Leggings into Face Masks, Buffs and Gators – Gail Pickens-Barger Yoga Teacher
