- To make one eye/sleep mask: Lay one 9½" x 5" piece of lining fabric right side up on the table in front of you. Lay one 9½" x 5" piece of outer fabric on top of lining fabric, right sides together. Top with one 9½" x 5" piece of fusible fleece or batting. Place all three layers together on the GO! Eye Mask die, cover with a mat, and cut.
- Cut a piece of ¼" elastic to fit your head without stretching. Being careful not to twist the elastic, lay it on top of the right side of the lining piece, pinning the raw edge of the elastic to the raw edge of the lining, as shown.
- Keeping the cut pieces in the same order (lining fabric right side up, then outer fabric right side down, topped by batting), pin pieces together. While pinning, be careful to keep the loose part of the elastic inside, so only the two raw edges get stitched into the mask. Stitch a ¼" seam allowance around the mask, leaving a 2" opening for turning the mask inside out. Backstitch when starting and stopping.
- Clip curves, turn mask right side out. Batting should remain inside. Press all around the edges. Whipstitch opening closed and topstitch as desired.
- If you need personalized gifts, GO! Eye Masks can be cut in minutes and sewn quickly and easily!

- Cut so much more fabric in less time.
- Get accurate cuts every time -- No slipping rulers or mistakes
- Easiest to use -- Simply place die on cutter, then fabric and cutting mat on top
- Save fabric with Two Tone Foam -- Get more out of your fabric by placing it only over the shape you want to cut.
- Safe to use -- No blades come anywhere near your fingers
- With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors.
- Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board.
- Use good quality fabric to reduce fabric stretch.
- It's always a good idea to test cut one shape before cutting many shapes to ensure fabric orientation is correct.
