seeing stars ***

by Nova on January 22, 2012

After making the bunting & fabric covered wire word I still had a healthy piece of the fat 1/8 th of Liberty Adelajda star print fabric that Jo had included along with my scrap pack for January’s Liberty Scrap Challenge project.

There’s a project that I have been meaning to whip up and only ever remember that I forgot to make it when I am about 30,000 feet up in the air,  reaching for a yukky synthetic eye mask & wishing I had remembered to make a nice, soft cottony one.

I don’t have any imminent travel plans but a girl must be prepared!   A timely reminder in a recent post from Whip Up spurred me on to get this made!  I teamed the stars with a piece Liberty Ceasar  to make it reversible and equally soft whichever way it’s worn. There’s a handy template over on this Tutorial  that I used & I made a cover for the elastic strap (like this one) so it doesn’t get all tangled in the mop top.

So here’s my double sided / reversible, fancy pants Liberty eye mask – softness itself….

not the easiest thing to photograph buuuuuuuuuut you get the gist of how it turned out!

I’ve never in my life worn a sleeping mask, but I’ve also never been able to sleep on a plane. Maybe this is just what I need!! With our epic trip to Europe only 6 weeks away, I think I have time to whip one up. Thanks for the great idea!

A really cool looking mask..I like the pictures of you wearing it :)

Thanks for sharing these great links. I always wonder how to make a cover for the elastic strap. I might try to make one for myself for a trip in March.
