For my costume, I wanted a lolita eyepatch. However, no one had put an how-to for making it, so with a lot of pictures, imagination and help from my grandmother (you are the best, grandma!), I've been able to make this marvelous eyepatch!^-^ P.S.: If you are asking yourself how to wear it under you hear,don't worry, it's very easy. You just put your eyepatch over your hair, take the hair off your elastics and Voilà!

Instructions

  1. Small step 1 1296255400

    First, you need 2 small squares of fabric (take a soft fabric, because if not it will irritate your skin. The squares must be the same size. Even tough I said 3 x 3 inches of fabric,you can make it the size you want, as long as the 2 squares are the same size.

  2. Small step 2 1296258270

    Fold the edges of one square as shown on the picture. cut your elastic in half. check if th elastic is not to tight on your head, or your eyepatch will squeeze your face and there will be an ugly bump(check on the pictures how it squeezes my face. It is a bad mistake to make). then, stich the ends of the elastics on the fabric like shown.

  3. Small step 3 1296258603

    Then, fold the second square the same way as the first one. Put the fold edges of the 2 squares togeter andsew over the edges. The result sould look like this.

  4. Small step 4 1296258880

    This is one of the trickiest parts: fold the two last edges togeter and sew over. The result should look like this.

  5. Small step5 1296260319

    For the next step,you need lace. Thin lace makes the eyepatch not to big, but medium lace hads more detail to the eyepatch and can be ruffled. It is up to you!

  6. Small step 6 1296325175

    Take your eyepatch, put your lace over one of the sides and start sewing. Be careful not to sew your elastic with your lace!

  7. Small step 7 1296325881

    Then, fold your lace to make it turn 90 degrees. It should look like this.

  8. Small step 8 1296326032

    Sew the lace.

  9. Small step 9 1296326227

    Repeat step 7 and 8 until your are about to finish the last side.

  10. Small step 10 1296328291

    Cut the excess lace and sew both lace's ends togeter like shown (Well to explain the image, you take both ends one over the other and you sew).

  11. Small step 11 1296326539

    You are done!
