Had some time today to get involved in a project and decided it would be sewing!\u00a0 Making pillows is pretty much instant gratification, and I needed some of that!\u00a0 So, I got started on pillow for a baby nursery.\u00a0 Two of the pillows are a beautiful paisley print with covered cording and zippers in back for easy removal.\u00a0 Love the results!<\/p>\n

The third pillow was lots of fun!\u00a0 The fabric is a soft, natural cotton, quilted, but not thick or heavy.\u00a0 Using blue grosgrain ribbon I created a frame of sorts in the center of the top piece.\u00a0 I measured 4\u201d in from the raw edges of the top piece, pinned the ribbon in place, and top-stitched on both edges of ribbon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I thought how pretty it would be to have a monogram in the center, but I don\u2019t have the capability to do that.\u00a0 So, I came up with the idea to make a pennant garland inside the frame of ribbon.\u00a0 Using the paisley print for color inspiration, I found just what I needed to make the pennants .\u00a0 Next, I traced the pennant shape onto Heat-N-Bond, cut it out and ironed it to the back of the pennant fabrics. \u00a0The Heat-N-Bond comes with directions and is not hard to use.\u00a0 My daughter-in-law uses it all the time and gave me step- by -step instructions. (Thanks, my dear!) I will admit I ironed it to the right side of one pennant and had to cut out a new one, so keep that in mind.\u00a0 I was forewarned about that, too!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

After placing the pennants in a gentle curve across the inside of the frame, I lightly pressed\u00a0 them down to activate the adhesive left by the Heat-N-Bond.\u00a0 Then I got busy zigzagging all the edges of the pennants.\u00a0 Using\u00a0 embroidery floss, I embroidered a string using a running backstitch so it looks like the pennants are attached to twine or the like.\u00a0 To finish up the pillow I simply put a zipper in the back piece, placed right sides together, and stitched all four sides.\u00a0 All done!\u00a0 Isn\u2019t it super sweet!?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
