how do you make pillows?

Question

i found this really really cute rug that is bright summer colors and its winter now so i can't find any bright colored pillows so i thought i would make some!!!

Answer 1

there are several ways. pick your fabric, sew straight seams all of the way around-leaving a 3 inch space in the middle of one side. cut the corners at angle (make sure you don't cut through the seam. turn the fabric inside out, push the corners out with something strong (like a pen, or marker with the top on). stuff the pillow as full as you like it, then, pinch the opening, and hand sew it together. that's the way i made my first pillow. then go from there. you can add cording, fringe, or what ever makes you smile!

Answer 2

Find some material that you like. Cut two piece the size that you would like the pillow to be. With the "outside" of each piece facing each other, sew along the edge almost all the way around. Turn the "bag" inside out. Now, stuff the bag with whatever you want. Foam rubber is available in many sizes and shapes. Now, sew up the remaining open edge of the bag.

Answer 3

Go to the store, purchase some material, measure up the size you want, cut the material, buy some stuffing, use a sewing machine, after cutting 2 pieces of material, sew 3 corners, add stuffing to the size you want, then sew up the 4th, corner. Can also be done with making a childs stuffed animal. Have fun!!!!!

Answer 4

It's pretty easy when you think about it (and I can't even sew, well not all that well anyway)............ just get 2 pieces of the material you want to use, cut to the same size & shape (e.g. Square, rectangle, etc)........ then stitch them together round 3 of the edges.

Add a zip if just using it as a cover, or stuff with a suitable material (e.g. Cotton wool, feathers, etc)... turning it inside out first, to hide the stitching......... then once you've got it stuffed well enough, stitch it closed so it doesn't fall out.

Answer 5

YOU purchase material of your choice and color.
You purchase fiberfill
************************
You cut it into "2" equal shapes of your choice

You sew most of it together leaving a 3 inch opening on one of the sides (sew 1/2 to 3/4th inch from the outer edge - sew by hand or machine)

You then turn item right side out and stuff with fiberfill

You then sew the opening closed (machine or hand stitching)

Walla- The simplicity of it - you now have a pillow.

GOOD LUCK
