We sew a sleep mask using satin ribbons

A sleep mask is a very interesting accessory that gives free rein to your imagination. It can be made from almost anything, without losing any of its practicality. A clear confirmation of this is a mask made using satin ribbons. Of course, you will have to spend a lot of time sewing it, but the result will exceed all expectations.

So, for work you will need:

1. Mask pattern;
   
2. White non-woven adhesive pad;
   
3. Satin ribbons;
   
4. White satin on the back of the mask;
   
5. White calico for a bag for dried flowers;
   
6. White satin bias tape;
   
7. Sewing threads;
   
8. Needle for hand sewing;
   
9. Scissors;
   
10. Chalk and a simple pencil for cutting;
    
11. Iron;
    
12. Sewing machine;
    
13. Dried flowers of Crimean lavender;
    
14. White openwork elastic band;
    
15. Safety pins.

On a piece of adhesive pad, slightly larger in size than a sleep mask, you should draw the outline of the future product. You need to draw along the adhesive side of the gasket.

Then this workpiece must be placed on the surface of the ironing board with the pattern facing up.
Using pins, you need to secure pieces of satin ribbons to the surface of the adhesive pad. By imagining and crossing ribbons in a certain order, you can successfully imitate the weave of fabric.

Having completed the final arrangement of the tapes on the front surface of the mask, they must be fixed by gluing them to the base using an iron.

Excess tape and adhesive spacer must be trimmed along the previously applied contour, so that the resulting mask part is ready for further processing.

The back of the mask must be cut out with a cut into which a sachet with dried flowers will be inserted.

The cut allowances must be ironed onto the wrong side of the parts.

Then the edges of the cut must be hemmed, bending half the width inward.

The front and back sides of the mask should be folded together and basted around the perimeter using hand stitches.

Then you need to baste the openwork elastic. Its length is usually determined experimentally.

The edges of the sleep mask should be edged with satin trim. First of all, it must be stitched on the front side of the product.

Then its flying edge must be basted, and then stitched onto the wrong side of the mask.

From calico you need to sew a small bag for dried lavender flowers. The sleep mask can always be washed, you just need to take the sachet out of it.

This unusual sleep mask is completely ready! Now you can admire your work.
Have a nice sleep!
