Polar Bear Decor

Hello, Friends!  Marilyn here with a sewing / Square 1 project.

I started with this cute pillow cover with polar bears.

To make you'll need:

• 8.5" x 8.5" square fabric for center
• Two 12.5" square fabric pieces cut on diagonal for front
• Two 13" x 17" fabric pieces for the back
• One 16" pillow form
• 1 sheet of Square 1 Iron-on

Back of Pillow:

Cut two 13" x 17" fabric pieces.   Make a 1" hem for each one and set aside.

Front of Pillow / Center:

Cut one 8.5" square of fabric. 
Cut 3 polar bear images (Design Id # 237739) at 3" in height out of Square1 Iron-On.   Align as your want on one side of 8.5" center piece.  Heat press at 325 degrees for 20 seconds.   Cut any part of Polar Bear image that extends past side of center fabric piece.
Mark middle of each of the four sides of center fabric piece.

Front of Pillow / Corners:

Cut two 12.5" square fabric pieces.  Cut each again on the diagonal so you end up with four triangle pieces of fabric.
Mark middle of each on long side.
Match right side middle of one triangle piece with middle right side of center fabric and sew quarter inch seam.  Do the same directly across from first sewn piece.  Cut off triangle fabric that extends past center square fabric. 
Sew remaining two triangles to center piece matching middle markings.
Square up finished front to 17 inch square size.
Front is complete.

Attach Front and Back:

Pin right sides together, over lapping two back pieces to create and envelope fold opening.
Sew quarter inch seam all around four sides.
Turn pillow cover right side out and insert 16" pillow form.

And now adding matching designs on my lampshade:

Lamp shade images made with Square1 Printable and same Polar Bears as before.
