Today, Anna Graham from Noodlehead has shared a beautiful pillow that she made, inspired by an Anthropologie version (above left). This project is a great introduction to patchwork and you’ll add piping to the rounded ends, another great skill for new sewers to learn. She shows two versions of the pillow and suggests that you could also add some hand quilting, like the Anthropologie version. Click here to read the full tutorial.
If you haven’t visited Anna’s blog before, you’ll find all kinds of sewing and tutorials. Thanks, Anna!
Update: This post was created by the very nice Meg of Elsie Marley. I asked her to be a part of the DIY series this week using inspiration from stores and catalogs in an effort to show you that you can make anything you see. In light of the controversy surrounding this series, I’ve removed any instructions, but I’d still like to show you her project. I would encourage you to try Meg’s technique here using your own creative ideas.
This project is also inspired by Anthropologie. Meg’s version is on the left and the other version on the right in the image above. The design for Anthropologie was created by girls can tell and is a copyrighted image, of course. Any line drawing would work for this project. I joked to Meg that I should do a vegetarian version with a lump of tofu, but I actually do think that would be kinda cute! Anyway, thanks to Meg for sharing this great idea!
