Recycling an old sock to make a soft comfy Eye Mask

  It gets light much too early for me here in the UK in May. I now put my sock eye mask on to cut out the light to help me sleep a bit longer. It works !

HOW TO MAKE AN EASY PEASY SOCK EYE MASK

Cut a piece out of heel to allow for turning inside out

Turn inside out and sew across the toe and across the top

Trim seam allowance to about 1cm

Thread elastic thread onto a large eyed needle.

 Push needle through the edge seam from the inside bottom left

Into the edge seam bottom right

Out at top right seam

Over and into top left seam

Adjust length of elastic to fit your head comfortably

Cut off at desired length and knot ends together inside sock

Close the opening at the back with a few small hand stitches

Your Eye Mask is now complete
