Fall Mason Jars Pillow

Hello, Friends!  Marilyn here with a easy sewing / sublimation project.

This pillow is basically an envelope closure pillow that has a white polyester strip and ruffle on the front.   The finished pillow size is 18" x 18".

Fall Pillow

Supplies:

  • Cotton fabric for pillow.
  • Polyester fabric for front sublimation area
  • Ruffle / lace strip
  • Mason jar & flowers image - design # 93368 purchased from Silhouette store (.99 cents)
  • 18" x 18" pillow form (mine was purchased at Hobby Lobby)

Steps:

  • From blue cotton fabric:  cut one at 19" x 19", cut one at 19" x 13", cut one at 19" x 14".

  • Size the mason jar & flowers image at 9" x 5" and flip horizontally.  Sublimate onto the white polyester fabric.
  • Following sublimation, serge the long edges of the white polyester.
  • Sew the white polyester in the center of the 19" x 19" blue fabric.  I sewed all four edges.
  • Sew the ruffle strip on the bottom edge of white polyester.
  • Sew a 1 inch hem on the 19" x 13" and 19" x 14" fabric pieces.
  • With right sides together, sew along all four sides of pillow fabric.
