| Finished Pillow.. So easy Supplies used--- Pumpkin ribbon [choose any fall ribbon you like] Black gingham check from stash [ 1 yard] Walmart plastic bags [free] for stuffing. |

| I wanted to make a pillow insert for a small pillow, I made this one 10 in x 10 in. First, I made my pillow Cover. I cut a long strip of the gingham fabric that would go around the pillow and lap over 3-4 inches.I marked my center and pinned [and then sewed] my pumpkin ribbon on. I hemmed the ends of the pillow cover. I then, folded it over the width I needed for my 10 x 10 in pillow form. [This will be inside out at this time]. I sewed the bottom and top all way across. Turned the pillow cover right side out. TA-DA----it is finished. |

| The pillow insert . I cut two 10 1/2 in squares . Sewed all way around it, leaving a space open to insert my plastic bags. Turn right side out. Iron. |
 |
| Keep stuffing the pillow form , until it gets as firm as you like it. Ladies, I saw this idea on a blog last year, sorry I can't remember who to give credit to. It took quiet a few bags.. but this worked really well. I used a needle and thread and stitched it closed. NOTE: I intend to use the black white pillow insert for Christmas also.. All, I will have to make is the Envelope pillow cover with a Christmas ribbon.. Super easy project and fun.. |
