  Step 1

  Start by gathering your materials.

• 

  Step 2

  Take a piece of paper and start cutting out heart shapes. I suggest going with the largest heart shape you cut because it will shrink even with added seam allowance.

• 

  Step 3

  Pin your heart along the fold line of of your fashion fabric.

• 

  Step 4

  Cut it out with seam allowance in mind. It should look like this;

• 

  Step 5

  Cut a second one for your back piece.

• 

  Step 6

  I like a heavier weight sleep mask so I also cut out a third (smaller piece) for an interfacing out of fleece. If you do decide to do a lining just keep in mind what I didn't, and that is that you're going to be turning this right side out through a small opening.

• 

  Step 7

  Pin all your layers together making sure your fashion fabrics are right sides together and your interfacing is on the outside.

• 

  Step 8

  Cut two pieces of ribbon about an inch long.

• 

  Step 9

  Fold in half.

• 

  Step 10

  Sandwich your ribbon in-between your two fashion fabrics.

• 

  Step 11

  Sew around your sleep mask leaving an opening to turn it right side out. Make sure you get all your layers. I didn't do that the first time and had to re-sew it again. Oops!

• 

  Step 12

  Cut slits around the outside of your sleep mask making sure that you don't cut through your stitches.

• 

  Step 13

  Start turning it right side out. This is where I had a few problems because it's a lot of fabric through a small hole. Just keep working the fabric, you'll get it.

• 

  Step 14

  About this time is when I realized that I pinned my ribbons lopsided. But I like it, kind of gives it character.

• 

  Step 15

  Fold your opening shut and pin in place.

• 

  Step 16

  Top stitch all the way around your sleep mask.

• 

  Step 17

  You can be done now but I added some decorative trim around mine.

• 

  Step 18

  Run your ribbon through your two loops and you're done.
