It was with a heavy heart that I said goodbye to some good friends this week, leaving for the other side of the world. Actually, quite a few friends have been taking long plane journeys or are planning them for the near future, so I've found myself making them these 'eye-masks' for use on their travels. I used some of my favourite fabrics for the outside layer, and for the lining, Liberty lawn (it's pretty luxurious, that stuff) and on a few others, vintage kimono silk.
The pattern was one I designed for the last issue of Extra Curricular magazine- it's quite simple, with layers of cotton flannel inside for (hopefully) a complete lack of light shining through.
The winter sun is shining here this afternoon, we have a houseful of children making huts and artwork, and a pot of hot chocolate (this recipe) on the stove. Not a bad Friday at all.
Have a lovely weekend.
