Pillows

I recently found some pillows I loved at Just another hang up and had to copy them. I just used her inspiration and then made my own pattern using the size pillows that I had. I just used the guide below for the size of my pillows and pieced the pillow pattern together in any way that I wanted. Then I made envelope inserts in the back. I love how these turned out. So cute! The flowers were made from using long strips of extra fabric, and I just knotted the end and then twisted it around to make the look of leaves and glued with a glue gun. It is super easy. These pillows are great for a beginner. I had never sewed a pillow before in my life and I am pretty pleased with how they came out.

I did these one's for downstairs with matching curtains. Not quite as in love as I thought I would be. I think it is a pattern overload. Oh well, you live and learn. By the way the cheapest place to by pillow inserts is Target you get a 2 pack of 18 x 18 for $4! Here is a guide for how big to make your pillows -

• Your square piece is the size of the pillow form plus 1" square. So if your pillow form is 14", your square piece of fabric should be 15" square.
• Your rectangle pieces are the same length as your square piece on the long edge. For the short edge, they are half your square piece plus 2.5". So, if your square piece is 15" square, half of that is 7.5" and plus 2.5" is 10", so your rectangles should be 10" x 15" each.
