You are
getting an early look at this absolutely stunning pillow, which is
still under construction here at The Shabby Castle! How fun and
interesting to see how a pillow is designed & constructed,
starting with some simple fabric pieces and some thread, and ending
with a delightful & ehchanting Shabby Chic style
pillow!
Much time goes into the design
portion of the pillow. This is the part where the fabrics are
selected. Once fabrics are chosen, they are lined up to match, cut,
ironed and lovingly stitched
together.
The next step
involves finishing off all the edges. Every single seam
is finished off in this fashion so as to ensure a
long lasting durable pillow!
The
back gets cut and is laid out to see how the pattern will look
right side up.

Once
again, the edges are completely
finished.
Next, the
ruffle is cut, hemmed and ruffled! This sounds like an easy step,
but it actually takes a considerable amount of
time.
After the
ruffle is finished, it is attached to the front side of the
pillow.
Almost done! This is the exciting part! Only a few
more steps to completion.
Check
back soon to see photos of the finishing process, which
include sewing the front piece to the back piece, a button
being sewn in place, and a button
hole. |
