DIY Sleep Mask (free pattern!)

Ever wanted to make your own sleep mask? Excellent! This is the perfect blog post for you. 
Sleep masks are a wonderful scrap buster. If you don't have a piece of fabric big enough to cut out both pattern pieces you could always use two contrasting fabrics, or stitch some together to make a patchwork sleep mask! 

You will need:

The pattern (download it here)
Some fabric (I've used some scrap linen)
Some elastic (I used some salvaged elastic which I cut down to 35cm long)
Thread
A hand sewing needle
Sewing machine (optional)
Pins
Sewing scissors
Paper scissors
