HOW TO - Sew an Eyepatch
Eyepatches aren't all about saying "Arrrr!" and looking like a pirate. They actually serve a purpose for those with eye injuries or squint problems. As a kid, I had to wear one for about a month when a fellow pre-schooler threw a handful of sand in my eye, scratching my cornea. I would have been so grateful if my mom had been able to use this eyepatch-crafting tutorial at Lucky Kate Crafts, so I could have worn something that made me feel less weird (and more cute).
