Picture Pillow for Mom

Picture Pillow for Mom

Pattern Info

How does your garden grow? »

Instructions

I only used the templates for the flowers from this pattern. I did not make the pillow according to the instructions.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Unisex

Style: Whimsical, Cute, Casual


Materials

Cotton, pictures printed on fabric printer sheets, lots of thread, steam a seam 2, pellon fusible fleece, poly-fil.

What was your inspiration?

I had purchased the pattern to make this flower applique pillow several months ago and was not sure how to use the steam a seam 2, I thought I could make 4 place mats with several pictures and use the templates for the flowers. However it took forever to make just one with all of the stitching I did on these. So Mom is getting a pillow and I think it turned out pretty great for my first try.

What are you most proud of?

That I did it and it will even be in the mail and to Mom on time!!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Take your time and don't try to do all in one day! It is great fun and will definitely do again, maybe Mom with get those place mats some day.

That is just beautiful, your Mum is going to love it! I know I would!!! The fabric photos you've included make it so very very special. I think it was most definitely worth all that effort (and love) you've put into it.
