So Kristina and I had a special request for a blindfold to be used in a magic trick. So some quick research and here is what I ended up with.
I used a scrap of T-shirt, scraps of a black jean, some cotton batting and elastic.

For the pattern and basic instructions I used this site: http://www.crafts-for-all-seasons.com/sleep-mask.html
Basically cut a mask shape from the jeans, the shirt and the cotton. cut a piece of elastic that fit's a bit snug around your head.

Pin the elastic to the jean - fold it in half and find the middle of the sides - attach the elastic just a hair above the middle (about the bottom of your eye). Sew the ends down a few times to secure it to the jeans.
Stack jean on the bottom (make sure to push the elastic in the middle), shirt, then the cotton and pin securely together. Carefully sew around the edges, at least a 1/4 inch in and leave a small opening to turn the mask.
Sew the opening closed and continue to sew a tight edge around the mask if desired.
Done! Totally awesome eh?
Happy crafting!
