Lazies, Here’s an easy tutorial for turning a silk tie into a comfy and beautiful eye mask, or more appropriately, a Tie Mask. I’ll show you how to make a mask that is perfectly contoured to your face with custom ear placement for a comfortable and natural fit. The silk feels so good against your skin, is smooth against your hair and feels soft tucked in over your ear. Let’s get started!

When my sweet hubster Superman (aka Michael) was scheduled for an MRI, the thought of being in that tube gave him a little claustrophobia. I decided to make him an eye mask so he wouldn’t be able to see anything and that was our starting point. So, shown above is the finished Tie Mask, made with one of Michael’s oh-so-fashionable-15-years-ago ties. Pics of hubby below.

Lazies, Adding purse feet is a simple way to add a professional finish to your next bag creation. I recently showed purse feet on my Hobo Tote for Nancy Zieman’s blog tour. And I used them on Mom’s Margo here.

Lazies, We just went back to print with our Mini Miranda Bag pattern (LGD124) and I’m having a giveaway to celebrate! Mini Mi is a nice sized tote, loaded with pockets and makes a perfect purse, too. Be sure to leave a comment after this blog post to enter our giveaway for Mini Miranda pattern and Sew Lazy supplies.

Bag Posture and Construction
Mini Miranda stands up straight and tall with our Sew Lazy Interfacings. Back in September we featured Mini Mi and walked through where and how to use our interfacings for this design. Be sure to catch that blog post here for a quick overview of the construction and materials.
