I once purchased a sleep mask in the dollar bin at Joann's. My girls are always fighting for who gets to use it. So, why not make one for everyone? This is a very simple and inexpensive project. It even costs less than the one I got in the dollar bin! You can make several for yourself or others. I can think of no greater gift than a good night's sleep!

I would like instructions for making a sleeping mask.

It's really easy. Get some cheapo denim (cut up jeans would work), wash them well, cut out three layers in an oval shape. Figure out where your elastic is going and pin it in place inside the layers (right sides together). Then sew around the edges, leaving an opening to turn it inside out. Easy as pie.
I made one using scraps of flannel material and fleece blanket edging. I cut a rounded hourglass shape from a double layer of flannel, put wrong sides together, pinned blanket edging all around and sewed, then covered elastic in the blanket edging and sewed to either side. I would like to try maybe filling one with dried herbs next.
My partner reads late at night, and I like to go to sleep right away. We have fixed this problem with the light keeping me awake, by me wearing a sleep mask.
