a
"Halloween Silhouette Pillow" OR "Halloween Silhouette Quilt"
Same craft can be made
into a pillow or a Mini Decorative Quilt...Your Choice...Shown above
as the pillow...Below is the same craft, shown as a Decorative Quilt
or Table Topper.
|
 |
First gather
your supplies: You will need:
| - a 9 inch square of
orange fabric |
| - a drawing or clip art
of your choice for a silhouette around 6-7" |
| - some type of Heat
Bond or Wonder-Under |
| - a 7" piece of black
fabric |
| - two 9"X3" fabric
strips for the two side borders |
| - two 13.5"X3" fabric
strips for the top and bottom borders |
| - 13.5"X13.5" fabric
for back |
| - fiberfill - if you
are making this project into a pillow |
|
 |
Following the
manufactures directions on your Heat Bond paper, cut out a
silhouette of your choice and press it in the center of the orange
square. |
 |
Now it is time
to add the border. Pin the two short borders pretty sides together
to the sides of the orange square as shown in the photo.
Stitch 1/4" from the edge.
Press Seams. |
 |
Notice the
photo, the side borders are pressed out so we can see them.
Pin the long borders for the top and bottom
pretty sides together to the pillow top as shown in the photo.
Stitch 1/4" from the edge. Press seams. |
|
|
Your pillow top /
quilt top is done...Wasn't that easy?
Now you have to decide if you want a pillow or
a table topper. |
|
|
If you want a
table topper place your backing and top pretty sides together as shown in
the photo above and sew all the way around it 1/4" seam.
Trim seams and clip curves.
Take the back of your table topper
only...make sure you only have the back, and cut a 3 inch slit.
Turn pretty side out. Poke out corners. Press. Hand stitch the hole
closed. |
|
|
If you want a Halloween
pillow, do the same as the directions above, except don't sew up the hole
in the back until you have stuffed your pillow with fiberfill!
