testing spacing


1.      Trim the stitched piece:  I plan for about ¼” of the linen (or Aida) to  Therefore, trim your stitched piece about ½” away from the edge of the stitching on all sides.  This will allow you have a ¼” seam and ¼” of space around the stitching.   
show around the edge of my stitched piece.

2.      Make the pillow front: 

a.      Decide how big you want the pillow to be in general – for an example let’s say you want 2” of fabric to show around the edge of your piece when all done.  Allowing for ¼” seams on each side of that 2” means you need to cut your fabric strips 2.5” wide.fskjfsjkfslkfjsldfkjsdljjeane marie teareijfsdjfsfjs f;ejeanen mariemarnwosk

b.      Measure the height of your trimmed stitched piece and cut 2 strips of the pillow fabric -  2.5” wide by however tall your piece is.   Sew those strips onto the sides of the stitched piece (right sides together) and press when done.jeannemaryiemarynwoskk daveidbria mayrnowsk
