To make up
Fold the mask lengthwise along the central line formed by slipped stitches, Pin sleeping eye templates in place approx. 2 cm from the outer edge of central band. Using a chain stitch and following the line of each template create the sleeping eye. Add four lashed evenly spaced, approx. every 5th link on the sleeping eye chain.

Using the mask template and 1 cm seam allowance, make a cotton pouch to hold the flax seed. Press the mask lightly and sew the flax seed pouch inside the mask using a mattress stitch.
