these eye masks taste like crow

Exhibit A: Failed attempt -- trust me, it ain't pretty

You know how when you see someone else make something and it seems so easy, and so you try it yourself, only to wonder where all that hubris went to? Yeah, me too.

I saw that Curious Bird had made cute little eye masks for their red-eye holiday flight. And since a couple of my friends were flying away this Christmas, I thought I'd just whip out a couple of these small easy projects.

Needless to say, there was some cursing involved.

Exhibit B: Humble eye masks

But at the end of the day, two little eye masks were ready for the gifting thanks to some super sewing advice from Adrienne. I think everyone should have a 911 craft wizard on speed-dial.
