How To Make A Pillow

<p>Pillows are beautiful and functional interior decoration, which are very easy to make with your own hands. All the necessary materials and tools are in each house:</p> <ul><li>Scraps of fabric;</li><li>Scissors;</li><li>Sewing machine;</li><li>Ruler and pencil or chalk to mark;</li><li>Sewing needle and threads;</li><li>Button.</li></ul> <p>For the first project, you'll need a soft cloth, such as jersey but it is very important to keep it unfragmented while cutting! As a base you can use a thick cotton cloth. A little tinker with scissors and a sewing machine, and you can make just such an unusual decor element:</p> <p>First you need to draw the jersey into equal rectangles:</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/UlFE7j1DUgJQrAQXDY32cW-4MDA=/07f9008f203e411f9e2d4315cc134194"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/UlFE7j1DUgJQrAQXDY32cW-4MDA=/07f9008f203e411f9e2d4315cc134194" data-image="23190"></a></figure> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/542Fza6IRe57T99tCpspgmaJVIs=/e7ec2dcf8a6a4621a5302498e7c47af6"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/542Fza6IRe57T99tCpspgmaJVIs=/e7ec2dcf8a6a4621a5302498e7c47af6" data-image="23191"></a></figure> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/F4ABKgQJJO2jzvjCGvWj56Of18k=/3c3fbdafd3f84c189490ae5d7a0d9e82"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/F4ABKgQJJO2jzvjCGvWj56Of18k=/3c3fbdafd3f84c189490ae5d7a0d9e82" data-image="23192"></a></figure> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/aRYHKG_nlzkmlaYUqgbhdV8iWGs=/30b5fb685aec461b810262dbd8edb844"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/aRYHKG_nlzkmlaYUqgbhdV8iWGs=/30b5fb685aec461b810262dbd8edb844" data-image="23193"></a></figure> <p>Then you need to cut out two squares of thick cotton fabric for the base of a cover and draw one of them by vertical lines with a ruler and pencil, beginning about 2 cm from the edge. To the planned lines you will sew the rectangular workpieces. The optimal distance between the rows is about 1.5 cm. It will be a frontal side of your pillow.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/4yLKm-txWuMiaUt0yPGqXOC3vT8=/bfc7b2e59c4e47ed8659ed26624cbb15"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/4yLKm-txWuMiaUt0yPGqXOC3vT8=/bfc7b2e59c4e47ed8659ed26624cbb15" data-image="23194"></a></figure> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/wtMvSGpXOk8z2JQfn6ERltsMbvk=/52f509b1c8784d72bb1a5670abcc957d"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/wtMvSGpXOk8z2JQfn6ERltsMbvk=/52f509b1c8784d72bb1a5670abcc957d" data-image="23195"></a></figure> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/jNxK5nBNwY9wrNjYmkrOdZYSElc=/8cd08c29c31240d3b1bd356cb075f8ce"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/jNxK5nBNwY9wrNjYmkrOdZYSElc=/8cd08c29c31240d3b1bd356cb075f8ce" data-image="23196"></a></figure> <p>Then stitch the rectangles to the base, enclosing them under the presser foot of the sewing machine at a small distance from each other:</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/VHkXUCIXIgbrNxV94wc2IZGTu4Q=/ee574fce7c954415addeef5829e99d99"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/VHkXUCIXIgbrNxV94wc2IZGTu4Q=/ee574fce7c954415addeef5829e99d99" data-image="23197"></a></figure> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/bHOXQMhV5yzVKIgd99B3T_JgWf0=/a2dca4b9c4a74e5a8433b64e3888202c"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/bHOXQMhV5yzVKIgd99B3T_JgWf0=/a2dca4b9c4a74e5a8433b64e3888202c" data-image="23198"></a></figure> <p>Finishing the line, fold and iron the fringe to see the next line:</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/gE59SihZa_69tcw_oH0eF3FyKaI=/e5d003297c6e4d6eab112bcabdc9ce18"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/gE59SihZa_69tcw_oH0eF3FyKaI=/e5d003297c6e4d6eab112bcabdc9ce18" data-image="23199"></a></figure> <p>For a fringe to seem thicker the workpieces can be arranged in a checkerboard pattern (so that where there is a gap in the first line, in the second line there is a rectangle).

To do this, fold the two squares face each other and stitch around the perimeter, leaving a small hole for stuffing.
