I have never used a sleep mask but I have a granddaughter who loves them! And after making this one I may have to start using one.
I downloaded a pattern off the
Internet. It seemed really large but after sewing seems just right.
I chalked the out line of the mask on the black fabric and put it in the hoop for my embroidery machine. If you don't have one these stars are so easy you could do them on a regular sewing machine! Then I cut out the pattern and sewed around the edge leaving an opening for turning.
The
zz would be a little harder without an embroidery machine but I think it would be possible if you made them
simpler.
I attached some very thin elastic before sewing.
The fabric next to the face is a very soft terry cloth type fabric. I also
top stitched around the mask. That closed the opening and gave a neater appearance to the edges. Now I'm ready for a little nappy time. Diana

Super cute! Wonder if I put one on if my girls will get the message and take a nap, too? ;)
