In this article, we'll guide you through the simple steps to create a comfortable and effective sleep mask. And if you'd rather buy a quality mask without making it yourself, L'Univers Masqué offers a range of ready-made sleep masks, perfect for all sleepers.
Materials needed to sew a sleep mask
Before you begin, you will need some basic supplies:
- Soft fabric : Cotton, silk, or satin are excellent choices for a sleep mask, as they are soft on the skin and allow good air circulation.
- Wadding or fleece : For a more padded and comfortable mask, you can add a layer of wadding between the layers of fabric.
- Elastic : To keep the mask in place, a thin and soft elastic band is ideal.
- Thread and needle or sewing machine : To assemble the pieces of fabric.
- Mask pattern : You can create your own pattern by drawing the shape of the mask on paper, or find free patterns online.
Steps to sew a sleep mask
-
Prepare your pattern : Draw the shape of your mask on paper, taking into account the size of your face. Cut out the pattern.
-
Cut the fabric : Place the pattern on the fabric and cut out two identical pieces for the front and back of the mask. If you are using wadding, also cut out a piece of the same size.
-
Assemble the pieces : Place the two pieces of fabric right sides together, then add the wadding on top. Pin the edges to hold the layers together.
-
Sew the mask : Sew around the edges of the mask, leaving a small opening so you can turn the mask right side out. Once turned right side out, sew the opening closed.
-
Attach the elastic : Measure the length of elastic needed to fit comfortably around your head. Attach each end of the elastic to the sides of the mask, ensuring it is secure.
-
Finishing touches : Check that all seams are secure and that the mask is comfortable to wear. You can also add decorative details if you wish.
