Good luck!
Good luck!
Take 2 different colored/patterned fabrics and put them with the fronts of it on each other. So what you now see is the back of the fabric (top fabric). Then you take your pencil and draw a square on the fabric. IMPORTANT: LEAVE A PART OPEN, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEW ALL AROUND THE SQUARE, OTHERWISE YOU WONT BE ABLE TO TURN THE FABRICS AROUND AT THE END!
Now you add needles so that the fabrics won't move. I don't know the exact name in English for these needles.
Here you see the needles.
Here you see i left an opening for turning the fabrics inside out at the end of sewing. SO DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE AN OPENING!!
Now you simply sew the fabrics. Just a simple straight line over again (4x). DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE AN OPENING. Use white thread so you won't see it at the end!
Now you have sewed everything you cut the fabrics that are left over, be careful that you won't cut the tread! So now you won't have so much fabric at the inside when you've turned it inside out.
Now you turn the fabrics inside out so you will see the fronts of the fabrics. Now you have your pillow, all empty. SO NEXT STEP: FILLING IT UP!! :)
You are now going to fill it up! Put it all through the little opening. I don't know the name for the stuffing i used, but it's from an old heart shaped pillow, so you can just simply use old pillow stuffing or old fabric pieces. if you have trouble filling it up, use sciccors of a pencil to push it in the corners.
Now the last step is easy, just take thread and a needle and sew the opening. Just LITTLE stitches will make it invincible! And here is the result! GOOD LUCK!!
