How to sew pillow covers with your own hands

What makes an interior truly homey? Textile accessories, of course. Their list is impressive, and the first place in popularity, no doubt, belongs to curtains. Well, the second position is firmly held by bedspreads and decorative pillows.

One of fashion trends in interior design – an abundance of decorative pillows. A heap of bright and stylish dummy pillows is a must-have addition to a sofa, armchair and bed.

The more varied and brighter their designs are, the better. Let no pillow in your home be like your sister.

We suggest you decorate your pillow in a light romantic style.

To do this, you will need a colorful fabric (or a ready-made pillowcase), as well as multi-colored felt. We will cut flowers and a heart out of it.

Flowers and a large heart-shaped detail are cut out of multi-colored felt along the contour.

The “heart” will be in the middle of the case, and the flowers will be in a diagonal line. But other compositions are also possible.

Flowers can run around the heart or enclose the central motif in a square frame. It all depends on your imagination.

And flowers can be supplemented with leaves – in this case, the corresponding shape of the blank is cut out of green felt.

By the way, this pillow with a heart, decorated with your own hands, can become an original valentine – a gift for Valentine’s Day.

Flowers can be supplemented with leaves – in this case, the corresponding shape of the blank is cut out of green felt.

For greater decorativeness, the central blank – the heart – can be decorated with an overlock stitch. For this, the edge is sewn by hand.

It is best to use contrasting threads – white or burgundy for a pink heart, yellow or white for red, and so on.

Before all the details are sewn to the case, they are pinned to appreciate the composition.

For work, use multi-colored floss threads.

The center pieces for flowers are cut out of thicker felt.

If you have the skill of embroidery, you can make them from thread. Streaks can be embroidered on the leaves.

The core of a flower can also be made from beads or beads. You can also embroider the heart with multi-colored shiny beads.

Our romantic pillow is ready!

An old, boring pillow can be easily renewed with a bright applique in the form of a fire salamander. You can embroider the pillowcase spectacular flounces or decorate with satin ribbon ornament.
