Hi Cuties, I would like to know if any of you have made ITH sleep mask before? My design is 3.00 x 6.82 inches. I need to know how long of elastic I need to use. Please answer ASAP if you know. I need about 7 or 8 more gifts to be done. Thank you

I have made tons of them for me and my girls. I use a 15 inch piece of elastic most of the time. If for a child you need to go down to a 13 inch piece. Of course if for a man you may want to add a bit more. And if the person is someone you know and can measure, measure from eyelid around to the other eye lid and add 1/2 inch for seam allowance. Hope this helps. Hugs. Nan W

Toogie, I made one for my husband once. But, I just measured around the side of his head. Measure yours or your hubby's. Good luck!! Hugs!

Thanks Laura, I read some and with trial I figured it out. I can make them better on my sewing machine and made 4. Thanks
