Making Eye Masks

Well, I've been working on making eye masks that you can use with ice packs or lavender eye pillows (which I'm also about to make and try to sell). I love lavender eye masks and use them a lot when I can't sleep- they are the only thing that helps me get to sleep besides sleeping drugs and I often try them before taking a pill and wake up hours later refreshed.

So.
It's a little tricky - figuring out how to make something that will fit a number of different sized heads (mine is quite large) and how to make it look nice. Here is my third attempt - I am figuring out the do's and dont's as I go along.

I plan to make some masks with coordinating lavender eye masks. They are quite comfortable! I gave one to a friend who gets migraines a lot and he uses it for ice packs - he says he loves it, so that's good.

Here's this one- more to come.

Lavender and Chamomile Eye Masks and Sachets

I just made my first lavender and chamomile eye masks recently for a friend who bought some for her mother's birthday. And, if I do say so myself, they smell GREAT. I'm waiting to get some satin-silk fabrics in that I ordered from China and then I will make more. They sit nicely on the eyes and smell incredible. I tested one out when I finished and wanted to take a nap posthaste. If you have trouble sleeping, or just want to relax, I suggest getting one.

I'm also making lavender and chamomile potpourri and sachets for the draws. Cedar potpourri and sachets to come.

Fun!
