 Print     Email

Here is a nice selection of eye masks and pillows that I’ve gathered from around the ‘net, nice mix of everything here. They’re mainly sewing tutorials (with some pattern downloads), but I did find a couple crochet patterns (and one knitting) that I tucked in as well. I also added a few simple recipes that you can use to stuff them with (you’ll find them at the bottom).
