The Totem Mask is the most forgiving recipe the Sewing Machine has, because almost any totem will do for it. A Rain Totem, a Treasure Totem, or a Warp Totem bound for the farm, the mountains, the beach, the desert or the island all sit on the spool equally well, so a forager with a crafting bench full of them can run one off whenever the mood takes. The result is a carved wooden face, and the game is quick to reassure anybody wearing it that their own face is safe. The Desert Festival also gives it away inside one of its free outfits, which is the lazy route to the same look.
Location
Totems are a forager's craft, and the recipes arrive as that skill climbs. The beach totem comes first, the mountain one next, then the farm, and the Rain Totem sits near the very top of the skill. The Treasure Totem is later still and comes with foraging mastery rather than a level, while the island totem is sold down in the volcano shop instead of being learned. Every one of them starts with Hardwood, which comes from large stumps and logs rather than ordinary trees, so the mask is really a reward for keeping an axe busy.
Spending a totem on a hat is a real decision. A Warp Totem is consumed the instant it is thrown and saves a long walk home at the end of a mining day. A Rain Totem raises the chance of rain the following morning, which waters every crop on the farm for free, and that is worth money in a dry stretch of Summer. Trading one of those for a mask only feels comfortable once the recipe is cheap enough to make in batches.
The sewing itself happens at the machine in Emily and Haley's house at 2 Willow Lane, or at home on the machine that arrives by post for finishing Emily's Rock Rejuvenation order. Cloth goes in the feed and the totem on the spool.
Effect
The mask covers the farmer's face rather than sitting on the hair, with carved features and narrow eye slits. Nothing about it changes damage, defence or luck, since a hat in Stardew Valley is appearance and nothing besides. Because it hides the face entirely it changes a farmer more than most hats do, and it suits a dark or earthy outfit far better than a bright one. It is one of the better choices for anyone wanting to look like they belong to the valley's older, stranger corners.
Notes
The Rain Totem has limits worth knowing before one is cut up for cloth. It never brings a thunderstorm, it will not change the weather on a festival day or on the first day of a season, and it works on Ginger Island, whose weather runs on its own schedule. The free route is simpler: Emily and Sandy hand out a makeover each day of the Desert Festival, and one of the men's outfits in that rotation arrives with this mask, a Fake Muscles Shirt and a pair of shorts.
