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.
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
