Flower Pillow & A Giveaway!!!!!!!!

What I did.....

If you wanna know more about how I re-upholstered the chair go here!

I cut strips (3 or 4) of 1 1/2" wide out of a Old wool sweater

I then cut a circle out of scrap fabric (stiff fabric is best to keep the shape)

I used fabric glue and hot glue and just wrapped the strips around and around. to make the flower.

On the back I added a ruffle of burlap with hot glue like I did with my table center piece.

Then I added brooch pins to make it re-movable with hot glue and scrap fabric

for easy washing!

So This past weekend I made a few new Pillows and finished some others.

N.E.W  Flower

This is how it started.  I have a few pillow forms.  I just measured from side to side.  Then you add 1/4" for seam allowance on each side=1/2" on top and bottom.

cut out your piece of fabric.  I use a roto-cutter.

It makes it much easier for a staight cut.

Okay the reason I cut out this center is because the

red/orange fabric is 15$ a yard (on sale) and the other

was only 3$ a yard.  I wanted to get more for my money.

This is a piping.  I wanted something funky for the edges. 

 I love animal print. 

 Always have.....

 this step you can find in my tuturial for my chairs here

I will say you need to snip 3 small cuts in the fabric for the edge

 to go around the corner nicely. 

I always have to sew these twice to make sure i get all the edge in.

The back is just the amount of the pillow plus 1/2 so if it were 18. It would be 18+9=27" Then I cut it in half but i cut one about a 1 and a half wider.  This pillow doesnt need any velcro to stay shut.

The pillow on the far right is from Walmart. 

I needed to add a little something to it, so it looked like it belongs. :)

Notice the edge is plain.....

The edge now has the same green print from my chairs.

 First i used a seam ripper ONE of my most used and favorite tools. To take the pillow apart.  I removed the stuffing and layed out the top piece

Then I added the piping around the top.

When i connected the piping I folded one edge over and tucked them into one another and sewed it shut.

Next I pinned the two together facing eachother leaving a space for IT to turn inside out.

Re- stuffed it.  ANd sewed the opening closed!  D.O.N.E.

THIS is a PIllow i will talk about Next week...

  thanks for looking!
