Comments
Our tips, so that the first self-stitched pillow also succeed
First of all, you have to choose the fabric from which your cushions will be made. Once the decision has been made, the next one is about to be made: How big should your pillows be? Once you are satisfied with your choice, you can start with the actual work. Now cut two fabrics to the appropriate size. But don’t forget to include seam allowances so that your pillow will not end up smaller than you intended. And don’t forget: Sewing your own pillow should be fun! If you have cut the fabric to size, the best way to trim the edges is to use a zig-zag stitch.
Now the creative part follows. You can now decorate the fabrics that you have cut and trimmed as you wish. You can either use a border or a motif which you attach to one side of the cushion. There are no limits to your fantasies. Afterwards you have to sew in the zipper. This is not quite so easy, but if you have done it once, you will not forget it and you can use it in the future when sewing the pillow. Afterwards, lay the two fabrics on their right side, unzip them and sew both parts together. Little tip: To make the cushion fall better, cut the corners inside the cushion with scissors. Now all you have to do is turn the pillow over and fill it.
