Gwenny Penny: Side-Tie Pillow Tutorial with Ameroonie DesignsGwenny Penny Hi there Gwenny Penny readers! I'm Amy from Ameroonie Designs. Gwen was so kind to let me come over and spend some time with all you lovely people! I am thrilled to share with you my tutorial on how to make this side-tie pillow. I have to admit- this is one of my favorite pillows to make. First you will need to start with a pillow form. Take your ties and fold them in half. Take your two front pieces. Lay the back panel of the pillow on a flat surface. Take the front panel that will be on top of the pillow and fold it in half along the hemmed side. Decide how far apart you want your ties to be- remembering that you will be sewing around the perimeter with a 1/2" seam allowance to finish the pillow. Now we're going to place the ties. We're almost done! Here it is all ready to be sewn. Clip all the corners and turn the pillow right side out. Some more shots of the pillows. xoxo, Amy Isn't this pillow gorgeous?!?
Tutorial: Scrap Buster Fall Pillow This is my favorite thing to do with my little scraps, and since its Scrap Buster month over at Sew, Mama, Sew, I made a quick tutorial so you can make your own. This pillow cover is 16" square with an envelope back & the design possibilities are endless! I added some pillows I’ve previously made with this same method at the end of this post. You’ll Need: 1. 2. 3. 4. Iron your fabric scraps onto your appliqué material according to the directions on the appliqué material. Now with scissors cut out your trunk and leaf shapes. When you get all your leaves cut out, tear the backing appliqué paper off the leaves and trunk. Then you can arrange them how you want on your pillow front. Once your design is how you like it, press with an iron over each spot for a few seconds making sure not to bump anything out of place. Now you can sew either along the inside edges of your leaves, or you can do a zig zag stitch or blanket stitch around the edges if you prefer. Pin around the edges well.

My 3 Monsters: Quick-Sew Tee-Shirt Pillowcases Hi y'all! I meant to get this post up yesterday, but it is summer and I find myself constantly battling my kids for computer time. Are we the only family in America that still only has ONE computer?! Not that I'm complaining . . . I'll just be posting a little less frequently {and at super odd times} for the next couple of months. Today I'm sharing a quick and easy dad-inspired sewing project that I have been meaning to share for years. I realized I never followed up with a tutorial, so here it is. After you have your tee-shirts cut up, just follow the directions in Jessica and Mandy's awesome tutorial, omitting the contrasting band. {The inside cuff seam has no exposed seam allowances. Looks good on the outside, too! I told you I'd share some masculine crafts projects this week in honor of the men we love. Thanks for stopping by today. I'll be linking this project up to:
