So what you need:
- Black felt
- Pink leopard print polar fleece
- Ribbon
- Thread, needle, scissors
- Decoration, I’m using a crochet flower

Start by cutting out the basic shapes. You want it to be as wide as the person you’re making it for’s face and tall enough to get from forehead to cheeks. The basic shape is straight along the top and then with two large curves along the bottom.
Cut one out of black felt and one out of the polar fleece. You will also need two triangles for the ears.

Cut some sleepy eye shapes out of the felt too.

The ears will be pleated so they puff up a bit.

This will be the layout for the final mask:

Stitch on the eye pieces with needle and thread.

Taadaa ;)

Stitch the pleat in the ears and then place them good side down on to the face area like this:

Put the black felt piece on top and stitch around the entire outside leaving only a 3cm gap at the start.

Turn the whole thing inside out through the hole.

And then stitch the hole up.

Add a little decoration to one ear like a flower or bow and it’s almost finished!

The last step is to add a ribbon or elastic to either side so there is some way to actually wear it ;)

And that’s basically it, you just need to find a willing model to try it out!

Shh nap time!

These are so much fun to make, I want to make lots of different shapes now :D |
So cute! I wish that I would have had rhe time to make something special for everyone this year, I can’t wait to see more of what you’ve been working on!
The silly part is that I did most of it after Christmas XD
I was looking back at one of your tutorials on Relaxing and it made me think that I need to make myself a sleep mask… I’m so glad that you made a tutorial. :)
:D I’m very glad to help! I’ve got a couple more designs coming too!
This is way too cute~! :D The blinds in my bedroom let way too much light in, so it’ll be awesome to make one of these for myself! XD Plus, cats are my favorite animals. <3
I hate sleeping with lights through the blinds too!
What a cute idea! I have lot’s of fleece scraps from work and can never think what to do with them. You’re so crafty~!
Haha I’ve got lots of fleece scraps too, time to get sewing some more things with them :D
So cute! I have some Hello Kitty pastel print fleece – guess what I’m going to make with it???
That sounds adorable!
