Felt Circle Pillow Done + Tutorial. I finally finished the other pillow that I started.
I love the way that it turned out and it looks great in my living room. Here is how I made it: First I measured my pillow and cut out two rectangles out of my gray broadcloth adding a 1/2 inch seam allowance on all sides and an extra inch on the back piece for the zipper. Next I decided where I wanted my zipper to go (I chose about 1/3 from the top) and cut a straight line across the back piece of broadcloth. Next I attached the zipper using this tutorial. Now I set aside the back piece and focused on the front. Next I folded each circle in half and pressed it to make them stand up and to give a stitching line. I started randomly placing the circles on the front of my broadcloth and sewing each one in the ditch of the pressed crease.
Once the pillow front was looking pretty full I stitched the top and one side together at a 1/2 inch seam allowance. Now I can go back and fill in the edges, allowing the circles to overlap the seam line a bit. Pillow Happy! Look-see what I made at our ward's Super Saturday!
Makes me smile a lot :) It was so simple to make, and BEST PART? NO SEW! Yep, just some fabric glue (or hot glue would work, too - in fact, I might go with that for the next one - yes there will be another one!) Our teacher was the fabulous Nicole from A Dash of Sass.

When I first got married ten years ago, I started collecting Christmas decorations.
Christmas is my favorite time of year, and I’d always dreamed of having my own home filled with the sights, sounds, and scents of the season. Every year, I like to add something new to my growing collection. This year I was inspired to create some decorative pillows with felt. The nice thing about felt is that it is inexpensive, it doesn’t fray, and it adds just the right amount of coziness for those upcoming winter months. Pillow knot. Pin decorative.

Sunburst pillow. How about a Comfy Sew for your home?
Maybe something for on a chair, your couch, or your bed? Well, today I want to show you a really fun pillow to make. Felt Lattice Pillow. I'm back with yet another felt pillow. This one was inspired by this pillow from West Elm: After I started working on this, I realized that my plan of attack for the knots was not going to work, and I went in a different direction. I will probably play around with the knot idea a bit more, but for this pillow, I ended up more of a woven lattice look. Even though it is really far from perfectly constructed, I like the way it turned out. I started out with 2 17"x17" squares and 26 half inch wide strips of felt 23" long (this ended up being a bit longer than I needed, so you could probably cut your strips to be only 21 or 22 inches long). I sewed all of the strips up along one edge of one of my squares. Next, I took every other strip and crossed it over the next strip. For the next line of stitching, I crossed same strip that went in the previous row the next strip.
I folded the strips at the ends of the rows back in the opposite direction like this: And sew those suckers down: Heart Pillow Tutorial. Ruffle and corduroy pillow. Ruffles are all the rage - soft and sweet with tons of texture.
