Pillows

Red Ruffle Pillow

I bought pillows from the thrift store for under $1, and I used extra material from the ruffle knit scarf I had made earlier in the week. I used the old cover as my pattern (sorry I forget to get pictures) and I cut out the front panel 15X15. For the back, I cut two panels and sewed a hem to easy access to put in the pillow - I didn't sew the pillow in, it can be taken out . . . I don't remember what you call it.  

Ok, for the ruffle strips, I cut 2in strips with my rotary cutter (love that thing)

using my largest length stitch, I sewed down the center without locking the top and bottom for easy gathering

 once each strip were gathered, I pinned it to the top of the pillow and sewed each strip in the center over top of the gathering stitch.  The biggest challenge was keeping the fabric from moving (it was very slippery fabric)

 Viola - the finished product. I had fun making it!
