Eyepatch Template

[Phuong Fulsom]

Placetemplate on top of two layers of felt. Following your template, cut carefully. You will end up with two eye patch shaped pieces of felt. These two layers will be sewn together with the elastic sandwhiched between the layers.

Take your elastic over to your child and measure. You want a piece that comfortable fits around their head meeting each side of the patch. Add 1/2 inch to that measurement. NOTE: the elastic should not be stretched when eye patch is in place.

SMALL PRINT: I originally tried making a pirate patch with black craft foam and found that the foam could not stand up to one minute of toddler play. ALSO, it goes without saying, that this project contains elastic and could be a strangulation hazard for a younger child who is playing with it unsupervised or who is playing with a bully. There, I said it.

Pirate eye patch template and skull applique - two free PDF templates and a tutorial for you that will help you make a quick and easy pirate costume. Combined with this free pirate vest pattern I shared a few weeks ago, these little diy pirate accessories just rock! Get the template now.

It was my absolutely LAST-MINUTE sew, from a few years ago when my (then) toddler asked for a pirate costume when our/his friends were about to visit. I had exactly half an hour to come up with an idea AND stitch the vest, the pirate hat, draft, cut and sew two skull appliques - and tie a piece of elastic around a round (-ish) piece of black eye patch. Talk about last minute!

2) Model it against your diy pirate vest and decide on the best place to attach it. Then tack it using a needle and white thread, but you can even use a teflon foot to stitch it on the vest. (Or, if you don't have a teflon foot, tape a piece of washi tape onto the bottom side of the sewing machine foot to help it slide over the craft foam. It works!)

Or ...go straight to the gift bag pattern. Smart and simple construction, originally a gift bag but around Halloween, it doubles as an adorable Trick-Or-Treat bag - 6 sizes and designs for all your wishes!

An eyepatch that came from the faraway world of Gaia. This particular eyepatch is said to have been worn by a female general of Alexandria. Despite wearing an eyepatch over her right eye, she was so skilled that she even boasted of how she once felled a hundred knights in battle.

I want to say how much I appreciated this article. My son has to be patched for 4 hours a day. And he hated the only one i could find in town. I let him pick a bunch of fabric yesterday. He loves his new patches and is way more comfortable now. Thank you!

Thank you for this pattern! I found it on a Pinterest and immediately made one for my son! He only needs the patch a little every day at this point, but I can already tell this patch is going to be such an improvement! And I LOVE that I can use fabric scraps from other projects to personalize it for him! THANK YOU!

Is there a diet out there that will really work.

I just want to thank you so very very much for this post!!! My 6 year old was diagnosed with Amblyopia over a year ago. Your page was sent to me by a friend a few months later (sometime last summer) when the doctor said we had to patch. I immediately began making your patches and they have been a huge success. Not only is my daughter more compliant with patching because she gets to pick which patterns she likes, they are so cheap and easy to make that we always have several kicking around (in the car, in my purse, in her backpack etc etc). I have also been stopped in public on a few occasions by moms fed up with bandage patches and pirate patches asking how to make them.

hi, my daughter was just diagnosed with amblyopia today. No surprise, I have it and just like you I always took my horrid black patch off as soon as I could (and my right eye is terrible because of it). So, my almost 3 year old needs a patch and I might just have to make her one like this. Thanks for the tutorial.

I just read this & I'm going to try making my own patches. I suffer from double vision & extreme sensitivity to light in one eye & now have to wear a patch permanently. I started out wearing the adhesive ones which I really hated. I've now got a couple of leather ones which look nice but they're still pretty uncomfortable to wear all the time. A felt patch should let more air through- the worst thing about wearing a patch for me is never feeling fresh air around my eye & the constant hot, sticky feeling underneath. Plus I'll get a chance to try out a few of my own designs.

What a cutie! I'm so sorry that he has to go thru what I did as a child. My eyepatch was black on the inside and flesh colored outside, clipping to the inside of my glasses. (This was back in 1958-60)Like Natalie, I wish my mom had made something like this for me! Give Sawyer a big hug for me! ?

Aw! This is adorable, and so is the little guy ? I wish my mom were that clever when I was little and had to do the eye patch. My best friend's daughter does the patch, I'll pass this along to her.

Methods: We performed a randomized clinical trial of patients aged 3 to 17 years who were diagnosed with isolated corneal abrasion. Patients were randomly assigned to an eye patch or no patch group. Abrasion size was documented with digital photographs and/or an eye template diagram at presentation and at 20- to 24-hour follow-up examination. A reviewer masked to treatment group determined percent healing by measuring presentation and follow-up abrasion sizes on the photographs/template. At follow-up, interference with activities of daily living (ADL) was measured with a visual analog scale and the number of pain medication doses taken since presentation was recorded.

Results: A total of 37 patients were enrolled: 17 with an eye patch and 18 with no eye patch. The mean patient age was 10 years, and two thirds of the patients were male. The majority (86%) of patients had 95% or more healing at follow-up, and there was no significant difference in percent healing between the 2 groups, even when adjusted for age and initial abrasion size (95% confidence interval [CI] for the difference in means -11 to 8 and -13 to 5, respectively). There was no difference between groups for number of pain medication doses required. Among measurements of interference with ADL, only the difficulty walking score was found to be significantly different between groups (patch mean 1.7 cm [SD 2.1 cm] versus no patch mean 0.3 cm [SD 0.7 cm]; 95% CI for the difference in means 0.3 to 2.5).

Conclusion: This study suggests that eye patching in children with corneal abrasions makes no difference in the rate of healing. There was no difference in discomfort and interference with ADL, other than greater difficulty walking in the patch group, and there were no complications in either group.
