Make it as simple or as Intricate as you like!
With templates for eye lashes and your imagination - the sleepy sky's the limit.
I added pom pom trim and fluffy feathery trim to mine - the fluffy trim definitely tells people you are sleeping though (it moves as you exhale - ha ha). I took out my glue gun for these trims, although they could easily be sewed on. With minimal wear and tear, I feel my Dewalt glue gun's power will hold on these trims for many years.
I used iron on fabric for the eyelashes, but you can embroidery them on or even sew them on if you're so inclined.
I used elastic for my nieces masks, and ribbon for the adult masks (for my friend and I for Girls weekend at the cabin).
The main fabric is just plain woven cotton fabric scraps I was gifted.
The backing is a nice satin lining scrap - red to be scandalous! It's SUPER soft on my skin.
As long as you use lots of pins before sewing, satin is relatively easy to sew with, and leaves a comfortable finishing touch.
I was really tired on Girls weekend after Mimosas, so the Sleep Mask really helped me sleep in the middle of the day with no curtains up in the cabin.
Great gifts or for yourself - betcha can't just make one!

***Affiliate Links Above used - I love these patterns, and without the help of those who love their patterns, marketing would be extremely difficult for the pattern makers we love and learn to love. Affiliate links help with the hours, fabric, and tears that go behind testing each pattern in order to provide a real-person view on the patterns for you (and me!)
