How to Die Cut Eye Mask Shapes:
For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller.
- To make one eye/sleep mask: Lay one 9½" x 5" piece of lining fabric
right side up on the table in front of you. Lay one 9½" x 5" piece of
outer fabric on top of lining fabric, right sides together. Top with one
9½" x 5" piece of fusible fleece or batting. Place all three layers
together on the GO! Eye Mask die, cover with a mat, and cut.
- Cut a piece of ¼" elastic to fit your head without stretching. Being
careful not to twist the elastic, lay it on top of the right side of
the lining piece, pinning the raw edge of the elastic to the raw edge of
the lining, as shown.
- Keeping the cut pieces in the same order (lining fabric right side
up, then outer fabric right side down, topped by batting), pin pieces
together. While pinning, be careful to keep the loose part of the
elastic inside, so only the two raw edges get stitched into the mask.
Stitch a ¼" seam allowance around the mask, leaving a 2" opening for
turning the mask inside out. Backstitch when starting and stopping.
- Clip curves, turn mask right side out. Batting should remain inside.
Press all around the edges. Whipstitch opening closed and topstitch as
desired.
