Supplies
List
--
Fiberfil
-- Water Soluable Sewing Marker
-- Thread to match Linen/Evenweave
-- Purchasing Linen/Aida - Decide the size you would
like your finished pillow to be, including fringed edges
(length of fringe is up to you). Your Linen/Aida will
need to be double the length of your finished pillow.
For example, if you decide to make your finished pillow
8" x 8," you will need to purchase a piece
of Linen/Aida 8" x 16."
Preparing to Stitch Design:
Fold
Linen/Aida in half lengthwise and crease fold with thumb.
Cut fabric in half at the crease. Check to be sure each
half is completely square. Trim if necessary. Overcast
all edges. Center and stitch design on one of these
fabric halves. Save the other fabric half to use for
your pillow backing.
Press:
Press, using a thick towel and placing stitched design,
face down, and another pressing cloth on top. A clean,
cloth baby diaper or a smooth, clean dish towel works
well. Follow these pressing instructions whenever ironing
your stitched design.
Preparing
to Stitch Pillow:
On
both fabric halves, With a water soluable sewing marker,
measure & mark from all outside edges, the amount
of fabric you've allowed for your fringe.
Assembling
Pillow:
Place
design wrong sides together with backing fabric, lining
up all outer edges of fabric. Pin in place at the line
you marked for fringe. Machine stitch 3 sides of design,
following the marked fringe line, with matching thread.
Go over this seam several times. If preferred, you may
hand stitch
