This week, I steered away from clothing repair a little bit and made a pillow. I was planning on making a pillow case, but my grandma suggested that it’s be easier to start with a small decorative pillow. I measured the pieces of fabric and cut them out. Then I showed them together, leaving an opening so I could turn the fabric right side out and put stuffing in it. After stuffing it, I sewed the remaining gap. The most difficult part of this was sewing at the same distance in from the edge on each side. It was frustrating at times but I was able to fix my small mistakes and finish the pillow. I am happy with how it turned out and may end up making another one.
Here are some pictures of the process:




That pillow looks so good!!! You are doing a great job of sewing. This is an amazing task to have so you can make repairs in the future. Keep up the good work!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks super awesome! You have made a lot of progress, and I'm super impressed. I understand why you could get frustrated at times, sewing has always brought out the worst in me. Are you going to continue to sewing after this genius hour is done?
