Dreamwear Mask Cozy

[UMTerp]

Hello everyone!

I can not thank you enough for all of the help as I am starting on this journey!
I wanted to offer a small payback by posting instructions for how to make 2 cozys for the Dreamwear mask.

I hope this can help someone!

1 piece of light weight flannel fabric 17” x 6”
1 piece of cardboard 6” x 4” (a scrap will do)
4 1/2” Velcro
ruler
scissors
pen
means to sew together

Sorry they are a bit blurry. This was my first time trying something like this.
When I tried to post them one by one they were all huge!

1. Measure a square of cardboard 5 ½” x 4”. Mark one of the 4” sides to 3 ¼”. Draw a line from the 3 ¼” mark to the other 4” side. Cut along the line.

2. Fold the fabric so that the right side is face up. Fold one end into the middle, then fold the other side into the middle. Pictures 1 and 2.

3. Lay the 5 ½” side of the cardboard exactly on one of the folds. Trace around the three sides of the cardboard with a pen. Repeat on other side with other fold. Picture 3.

4. Keep fabric flat and cut along pen lines through both layers. Picture 4.

5. Now you have two pieces of fabric cut. Turn one over and press about ¼ of an inch of the good side of the fabric toward the wrong side. You may iron, glue or sew this into position. Repeat for other piece. Picture 5.

6. Fold the right sides of the fabric together making a fold on the 5 ½ “ side. Repeat for other piece. Picture 6.

7. Sew ¼” from the edge on the two sides not already sewed (the 4” side and the angle side). Repeat for the other piece. Picture 7.

8. You have now made a small pouch. Turn each inside out and try to push the corners out as much as possible. Picture 8.

9. Flatten the pouch as much as possible and sew across the opening to close it. May want to press it first. Picture 9.

10. Cut 4 ½ inches of Velcro. Take the pieces apart and cut in half along the long edge. Cut all the way to the end. Note picture only shows a partial cut. Picture 10.

11. Sew fuzzy strip of Velcro to long end of pouch where the sewing seam is. I use a zig-zag stitch around the entire piece. Repeat for other pouch. Picture 11.

12. Flip the pouch over and sew the hook side of the Velcro along the fold. Note the sewing doesn’t have to be perfect . Picture 12.

13. Wrap the pouch around the tubing just above the cradle. Long side goes against the cradle. Velcro sides out. Picture 13.

14. Attach other side and hopefully have comfy cheeks with your Dreamwear mask!

Any questions, just ask and I'll try to help!

Very nice of you to post this. Think I'll stick with the Mirage FX which is quieter, more comfortable, and leaves my cheeks alone.

WOW...seems to me that if you needed something like this it would be much easier to order one from padacheek.com....
