Three Colour Pillow Tutorial

This one is a real simple beauty. Geometric, elegant and so necessary for your bed. I am completely in love with them.

Here is how to make them.

In order to make these two 18″ inch pillows you will need:

Materials:

4 x 14″ by 18″ panels of IL019 Monument Softened

1 x 19″ by 19″ panell of IL019 Black Softened

1 x 19″ by 19″ panel of IL019 Meadow Softened

Matching thread (I used black and tan)

Pins

Scissors

Sewing Machine

Level: Beginner

Time: 2 hours

1. Begin by cutting all your fabric.

2. Take the two 19″ by 19″ squares, fold them in half and pin about half an inch away from the fold. Carefully cut both triangles alongside the fold. You will be left with 4 equal triangles. Two in each colour.

3. Take one Black triangle and one Willow. Align them together, pin and straight stitch alongside the long side. Trim away access fabric.

4.’ Flip it’ onto the other side. At this point we will be hiding the stitch you just made. Fold the square panel in half again and pin alongside the edge stepping away about half an inch. Straight stitch alongside the edge. Flip again- this is the front of your pillow.

5. Take two of your Monument colour back panels and get them ready for hemming. Pin, and straight stitch alongside the edges.

6. Lay down your front panel facing the table. Place first back panel to align with bottom and sides, right side facing you.

7. Place second back panel aligning at the top and the sides, right side facing you. Pin, straights stitch around all four sides. Trim away any access fabric.

8. Turn’ the pillow inside out. Pin about half an inch alongside all four sides and straight stitch. You will now have a concealed edge on all four sides of your pillow. Turn it inside out and you are done!
