What do you get when you combine some yummy new fabric, a few fun fabric flowers, and a doting grandma who is willing to help a {cough} less than stellar seamstress? This sweet pillow, perfect for Emily's pajama party themed 7th birthday party! All we did was take two fat quarters of coordinating fabric, sew them together (inside out), turn the pillow right side out, iron the seams so they were straight, and then stuff the pillow. The large fabric flowers are simply fabric strips sewn with a gathering stitch (one is frayed on the edges, the other is more finished looking) and topped with covered buttons. The rolled fabric rosettes were just glued and rolled (there are tons of tutorials out there, so unless anyone needs to know, I won't share how I did those here). After we were done, we had the cutest little pillow, if I do say so myself! Bebe sewed more than half of it, but I probably sewed two sides of the pillow - I'm so proud - haha!!!
Here's a preview of the pillow on our party table, which was all decked out to look like a bed. Full party details coming soon. It was so much fun!
