Little eye pillow is very easy make and it is very practical and enjoyable. All you need is just a few simply things. For the front fabric, it can be a vintage hankie or a piece of your favourite fabric, any light weight fabric will work. For the back fabric, it has to be soft, like baby jersey or a cut out from an old t-shirt. The inner fabric can be simply muslin. Using double layer of fabric can soften the grainy feel from the rice. Let's get started!
supply list
1 x front fabric 9 cm x 20 cm (3.5 in x 9 in)
1 x back fabric 9 cm x 20 cm (3.5 in x 9 in)
1 x inner fabric 17 cm x 20 cm (6.75 in x 9 in )
1 cup of rice
2 tablespoons of lavender
First, sew the front and back fabric together, inside out and along the bottom with 0.5 cm (1/4 in) seam allowance.
Press the edges to the flip side that the seam is at the bottom. 
Fold the inner fabric in half, right side out. Insert the outer fabric (inside out) into the inner fabric with the seam sitting on the fold. Clip and sew, with 0.5 cm (1/4 in) seam allowance, along the left and top edges and leave a 4 cm (2 in) opening on the right side.
Trim the three sewn corners and turn the pouch inside out. Mix rice and lavender in a bowl and then stuff the mixture into the pouch with a funnel. If you don't have a funnel handy, roll a piece of paper into a cone for substitute.
Fold in the opening and close it with slip/invisible stitch. And you are ready to go! =D
It makes a nice little handmade gift too.
Have a wonderful weekend! =)
