Adorable Spring Pillow {Keeping It Simple}

Hello friends!

What an exciting day!  We are signing papers closing on our home this morning, and the moving truck arrives tonight!  I am excited, exhausted, and stressed all at the same time! But I can't wait to sleep in our new home for the very first time tonight.  Hopefully a lot gets done between now and then!

Today, Kaysi from Keeping It Simple is here sharing a very sweet spring pillow.  Kaysi is one of the sweetest bloggers I know!  You might know that I have a pillow obsession, so I love this fun tutorial!

Hi!!  I'm Kaysi from Keeping it Simple

This is how I made it:

1) I had an extra crib sheet, so I used that for the white fabric.  I cut three pieces, one for the front and then two for the back.  I cut them 24"x15", 14"x15" and 16"x15".

2) Then I cut out 4x4 squares and then ironed them onto fabric interfacing.

3) Using my CAMEO, I cut some flowers out of the fabric.

Here are the flowers all cut out.  I wish I would have made them an inch bigger...

4) I ironed the flowers onto the fabric.

5) Next I took an old shirt that I got from a garage sale (mostly for the color of the shirt, it never fit me well).  I cut it into 3/4 inch strips.

6) Using elastic thread, I sewed them into ruffles.

7) I pinned the ruffles onto the fabric to make stems and leaves.

8) I sewed the ruffles and flowers on.

9) I put the back two pieces on to the front, overlapping them.  Then I sewed all four sides.

10) I flipped it inside out and then put a pillow in it.  Super easy!

Here's a close up of the flowers.

Thanks for having me today Alison!!
