Today is the kick off of the Fairfield World Pillow Party and I made this Home For The Holidays Pillow to celebrate! I joined other crafty friends in making a pillow for the party. And believe me, they are all cute! I’m all about Home and being home for the holidays so I thought, what a great pillow idea. I even made it festive colors!
Materials:
- Fairfield World Poly-fil Premier Lumbar Pillow
- Kunin Felt: Premium Felt on the bolt: Smoke, Classic Felt: Red, Apple
- Glowforge (not necessary.
- Home For The Holidays SVG
- Scissors
- Cutting Mat, Ruler, Rotary Cutter
- E6000 Fabri-Fuse
- Sewing Machine
- Pins
How I made it:
I started by cutting my felt. The pillow measures 14″x28″ so I cut my grey felt at 15″x19″. I then sewed that together with a 1/2″ seem, leaving a gap big enough to put my pillow in once the case was flipped right side out. Speaking of that, once I was done sewing the three sides, I flipped the right side out.
Next, I inserted the pillow into the pillow case.
With pins, I closed up the gap so that I could get ready to sew it up.
Carefully, I sewed the gap closed with my sewing machine.
I know that not everyone has a Glowforge, but I do and I love to use it to cut felt. It cuts so easily and it’s quick. TIP: You could also print and cut the pattern out or you could use a Cricut.
I laid out all of my pieces in place on my pillow before I glued them down.
I’m obsessed with E6000. I seriously use it daily. This Fabri-Fuse is awesome.
I let the pillow dry flat and then I added the pillow to my couch for a quick festive project!
