I am so glad we are making this pillow for Sew It because it turned out beautiful if i may say so myself 
What you dont believe me?
Look for yourself
See told you…
What makes it so pretty is this fabric by Patty Young from her flora and fauna collection and this particular fabric is called Red Blossoms, click here for a list of shops that stocks them.
I found the pink cotton which i had in my stash and thought it was a perfect match to the pink flower buds.
The tutorial was well explained but it did not mention the width of the ruffles so i did 4 inches for the small flower , 6 inches for the middle one and 8 inches for the biggest flower.
Instead of cutting to strips for each flower i simply cut one long strip and folded it in half so my 4 inch strip when folded became 2 inches.
I loved the technique used to ruffle the strips although i broke a couple of needles i loved the effect it gave.
This pillow would have been done earlier today however it took me ages to secure the flowers cause of the fabric layers, and sewing it to the pillow also took about 10 mins cause i played around with them until i was happy with the placement.
One thing as well that i noticed the tutorial didnt mention what method she used to close the open end of the pillow.
I used a slip stitch to close it and this is how it turned out
I am really happy with this pillow and plan on giving it to a person who i owe my life to
♥ My Mother ♥
I hope she likes it
So tell me do you love it or hate it?
