Pampering
Stripes
Invitations
come in and go out for birthday parties.
At the stages my children are at these parties are starting to have
themes. My oldest daughter got invited to
a birthday party that was a spa theme.
The benefit
to the theme is it made planning a present fairly easy. My oldest came up with an idea of making a
sleep mask. I thought it was a great fit for her friend’s personality. However, I was unsure what her mom would
think. I ran the idea by her mom who
told me her daughter had been asking for one of those. So we set to work.
Step #1
We seam
ripped apart a dress my youngest daughter had been given for a birthday present
that was too small for her when it was given to her.
Step #2
We made a
paper pattern the shape of a sleep mask. Which we checked to see if it would
fit on my oldest since she is about the same size as her friend.
Step #3
We pinned
the pattern to the fabric and cut. One side
from the striped zebra print and one from the velvet fabric for against the
face.
Step #4
My oldest
picked some pink ribbon to add to the mask.
Step #5
We took
some elastic and measured my oldest head since she is about the same size as
her friend.
Step #6
We took
some black ribbon and stitched the stretched elastic to fit the ribbon length.
Step #7
We gathered
the ribbon then sewed the pink ribbon to one side of the mask, wrong sides
together.
Step #8
We pinned
the three pieces together.
Step #9
We hand
sewed the three pieces together with a hidden seam.
