Lets finish this Christmas pillow 4 U

ok, have been working on some other Halloween crafts, but have come up with the final sewing instructions for the gift bag pillow or Christmas pillow.





Turn the darn thing inside out, so you can attach the interfacing and facing to the pillow.


See the pic's of the attachment.
Do you see the facing and the body of the pillow pinned together.



the point of the pinning the interfacing ( you have ironed the
interfacing to the facing, you can be creative and make your facing out of a contracting color fabric or what ever you have around in your stash of fabrics. maybe even lacy stuff)

Please note that the edge of the facing and interfacing has been zig-zagged to make a finished edge. Inclose the entire fabric of the pillow, so when you turn the pillow right side out you have captured the edge of the pillows, and making it look finished.

Now you can add the fun stuff. I like to add wired ribbon and maybe some curly ribbons from your collection. Let you mind wander see what your inter voice has to say. Check out my pic's.


Viol`a you have a perfect gift for you or a BFF.
