This DIY pillow case was so fun and easy to make!
I bought a throw blanket at Ross for $5.99 and used part on one side for a SOFT pillow for my granddaughter, Maggie. The BACK was made from an old pillow case I had that had the eyelet trim where I put the pink ribbon bow.
HOW TO:
1. Cut varying size circles of the "flower" fabric then layer them on top of each other
2. You can sew a small (about 1.5 inch) straight stitch and pull the thread from both ends to make a bit of gather look and tie the treads.
3. Once the flower looks good stitch a button in the center.
4. Stitch the flower to the pillow case by strategically stitching the petals in a way that the flower looks fluffy (sewing UNDER other petal to hide the stitching).
5. Sew a ribbon for the stem and cut out some leaves and attach as well. Here I also added a pink ribbon to correct my not-so-straight seam line!
As you can see the shapes are not perfect and edges were left raw.
In my case I had to use another back material in order to make to
pillows with a soft side. I had these case with the eyelet with worked
great!
The presentation was so cute, just tied with a coordinating ribbon.
