Pintuck Pillows
There’s something going on with me lately that makes me want to sew repetitive lines. May need psychoanalysis. Anyway, I made these pillows from washed silk. I had some silk remnants, washed them on cold and let them air dry, which gives the silk a wrinkled look. These pillows use pintucks to create a tailored, clean look. This is a very simple project, one that would work well for a beginning sewer. I backed my pillows with upholstery weight fabrics, which helps add some durability to the silk.

These turned out beautifully. Very nice!
wow, these are really beautiful. i just made two pillow covers but i am intimidated by this whole pintuck thing!
Those are beautiful. Is that silk? That makes me want to buy the pin tuck foot for my machine.
They just add up so much.
Indeed, lovely. Silk intimidates me but i may have to give it a try!
Beautiful project !
I love the simple lines, they work so well with that washed silk.
Thank you for the instruction as well, I may want to give it a try !
These are gorgeous! I did a post on our site linking to your tutorial – hope that’s ok
Thanks for such a great tutorial.
these are beautiful! I have been meaning to recover my pillows…maybe I’ll give give this one a try.
I love the look of them. Very clean.
Wow, these are gorgeous! So perfect for my in-progress girly-glam living room redo. I love them! I’ll be linking as well.
I would love to try to make this! Thank you for the beautiful free pattern!

I just used your pattern (I’m posting about taffeta silk tomorrow and I needed a project I loved for it!) and found that a fat quarter for the front and backsides worked perfectly. There’s even some room in there for a bigger pillow form, 17″x17″ or so.
Thanks so much! Yours are gorgeous!
These are fabulous!!
