You Will Need (6 things)

  • Fabric
  • Embroidery Thread
  • Needle
  • Thread
  • Scissors
  • Chalk

Steps (9 steps, 180 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut two peices of fabric one several inches longer then the other. I use chalk to mark where to cut.

  2. 2

    Embroider chosen design on longest peice of fabric.

  3. 3

    Create seams across the bottom by folding the two peices of fabric into one and other, leaving room at each end so the seams down the pillow fold under neatly.

  4. 4

    Sew the seam on the back peice by folding it over itself some way down.

  5. 5

    Sew seams down both sides of the pillow.

  6. 6

    Sew the seam on the flap of the pillow the same way as Step 4.

  7. 7

    Make a button hole by cutting into the fabric in a suitible place and sewing loops around the gap.
    I don't know if this is the proper way this is the way I do
    it and sometimes it works well sometimes it doesnt!

  8. 8

    Mark where a button needs to go with chalk and sew on.

  9. 9

    Stuff your pillow and button up. Done!
