Hello everybody! So yesterday I found out that I had a major virus on my computer and we had to call the computer company, but now that is all resolved so I could get to my post today. Today I wanted to show you guys my way to make your own pillows. It’s very easy, and only takes about 20-30 minutes. So let’s get right into it!
Step 1:
Pick out your fabric. Cut off any uneven edges and make sure the fabric will be big enough for a pillow. Lay your fabric out so it is laying with the right side up. Fold it in half so the side facing up is the incorrect side. (If you don’t know what it will look like, the incorrect side will be paler than the other side)
Step 2:
Thread your needle with a thread closely matching the color of your fabric.
Step 3: Starting sewing the fabric together, so that on one side of the fabric there are very small stiches that you can hardly see and that are spread out a bit, and on the other side very large stiches that are close together.
Step 4: Sew up most of the fabric, leaving a small-medium sized hole.
Step 5: Reach inside of the hole and pull the pillow the other way so it is no longer inside-out. It is easier to start by grabbing the corners and pulling them out first.
Step 6: Taking some Polyfil, (about $5-$10, Joann) carefully stuff your pillow starting with the corners and the bottom and build up the stuffing to the top.
Step 7: Re-thread your needle and start sewing up your hole. Sew it with a different technique. Take your fabric and fold in the rough edges and sew it up by sticking your needle in the side of it and pulling it over and through to make loops over the folded fabric. Continue doing this until the hole is sewn up.
Step 8:(optional) Take some type of decoration and sew/hot glue it on. I had some paper flowers from Michael’s, $3 and I used super glue to attach them because they were too delicate to sew on.
And you are done! This is super simple, and looks so cute on your bed when you are done. I hope you will try this craft, and see you guys next time!
