Sewing Technique - Tutorial - Pillows

Sewing Friends:

Pillows can be very expensive to buy. You can sew beautiful designer pillows that match your decor and add a touch of pizazz to your home very easily. Pillows also make great gifts.

You can make a pillow out of almost anything. Teens are making tee shirt and old jeans pillows. Here are instructions to Recycle a T-Shirt and Sew A Throw Pillow

Preserve that favorite "blankie" or what's left of it in a pillow for your child to keep. They can take it off to college with them. You would be surprised how many "blankies" go to college.

Shop around the finest home decor boutiques for pillow ideas. Carry a small notepad with you to write or sketch the ones you want to copy. The details make the difference as well as choice of fabric and trims.

Many pillow sewing instructions include a zipper in the middle of the back piece. Instead of a lapped or centered zipper, try sewing an invisible zipper in one of the end seams to make the pillow reversible as in the recycled tee shirt pillow.

Here is another good tutorial on how to sew an invisible zipper in a decorative designer pillow.

Sewing Tip: To help keep the zipper from slipping while you sew it, fuse Lite Steam-A-Seam to the zipper tape. (This is a paper backed fusible web.) Fuse the zipper in place and then stitch it. This technique works for all types of zippers. Try it!
