Simple Harvest Pillow Craft

I made this pillow today.  It is very simple to make.

Here's what you need to make it.

 1. 2 1/2 yards of 21/2 wide fall ribbon

2. 1 1/2 yards of heavy jute (twine)

3. 2 already quilted harvest fabric rectangles 13X18

4. A rectangle pillow form slightly smaller.

5. Thread, Needle, Sewing Machine.

Hot glue, scissors 

Sew together your quilted harvest fabric with faces together.

Around 1/4 - 3/8 inch

Sew all the way around except for the one end, sew that end half way -

trim  the corners.

Pull inside right.  Make sure the corners are pushed out.

Stuff your pillow form into your quilted case.

Squeeze the pillow form and push around until you get it inside.

Make sure the corners meet the corners and the sides meet the sides.

Tuck your open end inside slightly about 1/4 inch as you sew it shut with 

a needle and thread.

Tie the ribbon around your pillow and use three layers of jute to tie

a bow and glue it on at the ribbon knot.  Cut any loose strings.

That's it your pillow is ready to display.
