Easy Throw Pillow for the home
Easy Throw Pillow for the home
I had this old pillow laying around that I wanted to recover, but decided to just take it apart and make a new pillow because I wanted to utialize the cord that was originally around it.
Start by taking your pieces apart.
I used some white taffeta I had left over from a previous project that I used to cover the navy blue cord from the original pillow. Sew this on using your zipper foot.
Use your original pattern to make a new one out of your upholstry fabric.
Pin the cording of inbetween your fabric.
Sew around using your zipper foot, leave an opening to turn your pillow around in.
I also went ahead and sewed the cording to one side of my fabric to make it easier when it came time to close it up later. Ideally I would have added a zipper to this, but as I didn't have one on hand I decided to just go ahead without it.
Turn right side out and stuff with your fiber fill.
Pin and sew shut using your zipper foot or by hand. And voila! You've got a new throw pillow.
