Nap time has never been so cute

Learn how to sew wonderfully soft jersey fabric into a cosy sleep mask complete with ears and elasticated headband.  We’ve teamed up with the very clever and oh so stylish craft blogger The Things She Makes to bring you this gorgeous design.  Make yours with bunny ears, or make it with kitten ears or be too cool for school and make it with no ears at all.

This is a brilliant way to spend an evening with friends making something useful, unique and joyful.  Maiden Aunt evenings are a world away from the classes you did at school. You’re encouraged to talk to each other, doodle, daydream and even enjoy a drink (no pranks on the teacher though, please). Mistakes are embraced as part of the creative process and there’s no such thing as a fail. We’re all about creating a social experience so you get extra marks for swapping hints and tips, and telling each other how awesome the things they are making are. We love it when people continue the crafter party on socials and when there’s some good chat between the different groups.

We want people to experience the joy of making things even when they don’t think of themselves as creative. We love it when people go home and keep making so we offer crafts that are suitable for all levels and that don’t required any special skills, tools or materials. You will also be provided with written instructions, templates and a list of trusted suppliers.

Fun fact: When the sun sets and it gets dark, our bodies start to produce melatonin, making us feel less alert and making sleep even more inviting …. Zzzzz
