How to Make an
Adorable Appliquéd Snowman Pillow |

fiber fill
or stuffing |

You will
need two 6" X 9" pieces of blue calico fabric, one 4 1/2" X 6" of fur felt or
warm and natural, a green scarf that measures 1" X 18", a little nose
cut out of orange fabric, and a little heart about 1 1/2" cut out of
red fabric. Fold the fur felt in
half long ways, and draw 1/2 of a snowman as shown in the photo.
Cut through the two layers, then open it up on the fold and you will
have a snowman. Pin your
fur snowman to the PRETTY side of ONE of your pillow pieces as shown
in the photo. |
 |
We will be using the
machine appliqué method. Zigzag
stitch around the edge of your snowman as shown in the photo. |
 |
Pin the
nose, scarf, and heart to your snowman.
Zigzag
stitch around the edges of the nose, heart, and scarf where the neck line is.
Leave the long part of the scarf to hang. With black embroidery
thread make 2 French knots for eyes, or you can glue two cloves on for
eyes. |
 |
Move the
scarf close to the center of the pillow. You do want to stitch
it when sewing around your pillow.
Place the two pillow pieces pretty
sides together and pin around the outside. Leave an opening
at the bottom for turning and stuffing.
Stitch around the edge of your pillow
using the pressure foot as your guide. Make sure you leave an
opening at the bottom. |
|
|
Clip the
corners, turn pillow, and stuff. Hand sew the opening closed.
Your adorable country little snowman
pillow is finished.
