Let’s Get started!
Requirements
Here is what you need to make 1 DIY sleep mask. This project is a great opportunity to use up some scraps and turn them into a mask.
15cm x 25cm outer fabric, You can choose cotton or satin silk.
15cm x 25cm Inner fabric, choose satin silk, or soft fleece. This is the side that touches your face, so something soft is perfect.
2 ) Apply the fusible interfacing to the wrong side of your outer fabric, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
3 ) Apply the fusible batting to the inner fabric, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
4 ) Pin one piece of ribbon to each side of the outer fabric of the mask as shown. Stitch in place using a basting stitch.
5 ) Place the sleep mask inner fabric onto the outer fabric right sides together. Pin.
6 ) Set your machine for a straight stitch and set your stitch length to 2.0. Sew around the edges of the mask with a 6mm seam allowance. Leave a gap of about 4cm for turning out.
7 ) Clip small notches into the seam allowance all around the mask, being careful to not cut into the stitching line.
8 ) Turn right side out, press carefully and hand sew the opening closed. Top-stitch around the eye mask to finish which will also make the ribbons more secure.
