I think the most intimidating thing about pintucks is that they are all usually uniform. Whether on a pillow or shirt or wherever, you see them in nice, neat, even little rows....but they don't have to be neat or even or intimidating.
Here's a fun little project for you to get started with pintucks. We're going to be creating a fun pillow cover that looks clean and neat and we are not going to measure our pintucks at all...HOW CRAZY IS THAT?... It's not crazy..it's fun and creative and full of whimsy. Keep in mind that I'm using a zippered back for my cover which you can find the tutorial for here.

Remember when I said I had a 'not so last minute, aka I'm a giant procrastinator, DIY Homemade Christmas Gift'? Well, here it is, even later than I expected! ;) I wanted to make eye pillows for my yoga students, that they could use in the final resting pose, or that they could keep at home and freeze for headaches, puffy eyes, allergy relief, etc. What I didn't realize was how many regular students I have accumulated! So it took me a little longer than I expected, but by the time I finished, I had a pretty good system going. I also chose to make washable covers for these eye pillows, so if they used them during class they wouldn't have to worry about getting them sweaty. I did not add lavender flowers or essential oil like many people do, because yoga rooms should be relatively scent free, and I didn't want to run the risk of anyone being allergic.
