Pin-Tucked Pillow Tutorial

Forever ago I saw a pin tucked pillow. I thought "I could make that". Wanna make one too? Let me show you how.

To make this pillow I started with two pieces of fabric cut to 14" X 14" and 14" X 18".

Step 1) With your 14"X18" piece of fabric, measure 1 1/4" from the edge of the fabric. Fold over and iron. Measure again 1 1/4" from your pressed line, fold and press. Repeat until you come to the end of your fabric. 

Step 2) Now sew along each pressed line with an 1/8" seam allowance. Then gently press so it will lay flat, but not mess up your tucks.

Step 3 & 4) Sew around outside edge of pillow with right sides together. Leaving an opening for turning.

Step 5) This is what it will look like at this point. Now fill it up with fiberfill.

Step 6) Stitch opening closed.

That's it! I love the effect of the pin tucks. You get a different look just by turning the pillow.

Clean Your House in 10 Minutes a Day - Master Closet

This will be my last week in this series.... at least for a while. School's out at the end of this week and I think that just getting the toys picked up each night before bed will be enough of a challenge for the summer. I'm amazed at the things I've gotten cleaned in the last 2 1/2 months.

For those of you new to this series, each week I focus on an area in my house. I spend 10 minutes each day and clean or organize something in that room. On Monday, I share what I cleaned. It's been  helping me to stay on top of it. And I hope it's helpful for you as well. {The 10 minutes a day does not include bathroom cleaning, sweeping, mopping, vacuuming or doing dishes. With the exception of doing dishes, those things are done on Saturday and the kids help.}


Last week I {kinda} focused on the closet. I the two messiest shelves cleaned off. Then I got busy with other things and forgot to clean the rest of the week.

Monday - Cleaned on my jewelry shelf.  - 40 minutes. 

Tuesday -Yard Day 


Wednesday - Cleaned off another shelf - 20 minutes. 

Thursday - forgot

Friday - forgot
