Nothing fills the house with comfort like cute pillows. In order to sew them, you do not need to have any talents, just find the time and attach a piece of your soul to the product!
Agree, the things that you make yourself according to your own design bring an atmosphere to the house that is much more comfortable and pleasant than those that were bought even in the most reputable store, released “in multiple copies”.
Homemade things turn out the way you want them to be. Have you ever thought about making a pillow? It's very simple! You can create a piece of furniture that fits perfectly with the design of your room. In addition, such products can be considered a real exclusive, which means that you will definitely not find a similar product at home with friends or relatives. In this article, we will tell you how to sew a pillow that will give you comfort, sweet wonderful dreams and good mood.
It must be said right away that, in general, the creative process can be divided into two stages: this is the manufacture of the pillow itself, as well as pillowcases for it. Note that for one pillow, you can sew several different covers at once and change them all the time depending on your mood or interior changes.
So that your pillow does not seem boring, but looks different all the time, you, of course, need to sew several pillowcases. Their design depends only on you: you can make plain covers, with a pattern, embroidery, created from various scraps of fabric - in a word, in this case, everything depends only on your own tastes and preferences.
In general, there are several basic types of pillowcases: with buttons, with a lock, or, finally, a simple pocket option.
For a pocket pillowcase, the pattern will be completely elementary. There should be only one detail: the width is equal to the width of the pillow, and the length is two pillow lengths. Naturally, do not forget to leave a few centimeters for the seams. Fold the fabric in half, stitch on both sides, and leave the third open - it is in this hole that you will put your pillow. Carefully process the seams to make the pillowcase look aesthetically pleasing, and voila - your exclusive hand-made is ready!
As for the option with a lock, here the pattern will repeat the pocket pillowcase, however, when you fold the fabric and sew two sides, you need to sew a zipper into the third. It can be hidden or, conversely, decorative - it's up to you to choose.
Finally, when we talk about a pillowcase with buttons, we assume that on the third side, which serves as a hole for putting on, buttons should be sewn on, and loops for them should be prepared in advance.
Most simple method considered the use of different colors of fabrics. You can sew different pillows that differ in color. For example, in the hall, you can sew products of different colors and textures. In the children's room, bright colors of cartoons or pillows-characters of the child's favorite cartoon look unusual.
More complex decor is considered:
With decorative elements create original compositions for different interior styles.
Ribbon flower appliqués look great on pastel-colored material. It is better if the flower is satin with different petals. You can complement the pattern with sequins, beads, beads, buttons.
It doesn’t matter if decorative pillows are sewn with your own hands or bought, they will organically fit into the decor of the room. However, the first option will save you from exhausting shopping in search of a pillow of the desired style, color, material. Sewing beautiful decorative pillows on a sofa with your own hands is quite simple, many patterns are so simple that even a novice needlewoman can handle them.
The variety of this accessory, which can be seen in the photo, excites the imagination: animals, a rose, letters, flowers, puffs. You can sew sofa cushions of any shape - a rose or a turtle, and for any occasion.
For sewing any pillow, certain materials will be required:
Fabric is the main element when tailoring any kind of pillow. When choosing, the most important thing is to turn on the imagination and choose the option that suits the texture and color. It can be linen, cotton, upholstery fabric, knitwear, jeans, felt, fleece and even fur.
There are a number of materials most commonly used for sewing decorative pillows:
Often, fabrics are combined, but in this case, their own rules apply, since, for example, you cannot combine "non-stretch" options with stretch.
When choosing a fabric, you should be guided by some rules:
All fillers for decorative pillows can be divided into:
Since ancient times, natural materials such as down, feathers, and wool have been used as stuffing for pillows. The main advantages of materials are that they perfectly retain heat, do not crumple and do not go astray.
As for the disadvantages, this is the absorption of moisture and the fact that various small animals and bacteria often start up in natural materials, which can cause allergies. Similar products require special care.
AT recent times are increasingly used for stuffing decorative pillows medicinal herbs, buckwheat husks, hop cones, bamboo. Many prefer such stuffing, believing that it has a beneficial effect on the well-being and health of a person. Actually it is not. The fact is that the smell of some herbs can cause headaches. In addition, having absorbed moisture, the vegetable filler becomes damp and begins to rot. Decorative pillows with vegetable filling require special care and frequent replacement of the filler.
The most commonly used synthetic winterizer, foam rubber, synthetic winterizer, holofiber, polyester materials. All these materials are hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and do not absorb moisture. The only downside is that such materials are pressed over time, caked. It is best to choose a soft-touch holofiber that is machine washable. best choice as a filler, fiberglass or sintepuh will become, which do not stray, are hypoallergenic, products with them restore their original appearance without any problems. Roller pillows can be filled with foam rubber.
What you should refuse as a stuffing for a pillow is cotton wool, as it will very soon go astray and the product will take on an unsightly appearance. It is better to dwell on a synthetic winterizer, although this material is also capable of losing volume over time.
If there are no funds to purchase special material for filling, then you can use what is at hand. For example, a pillow can be stuffed with fur or fabric remnants, although in this case the product will turn out to be not very neat.
In addition to commonly used materials, the following are often used:
When choosing a filler, you should remember some rules:
Threads must be chosen not only by quality, but also by combination with the fabric. At the same time, the thickness is also important, so for a denser fabric, more durable options will be required. When working, floss threads may be required, which are excellent for making decorative seams or making decorative tassels.
When choosing suitable threads knowledge of what sewing threads exist will help:
There are also some rules that should be followed when choosing threads:
To make a pillow, you will need the following tools:

The easiest way to create original design- This is a sewing of decorative pillows of different colors. Choose several options for matching fabrics in color and texture, make pillows and place them on the sofa. Also, when sewing, you can use elements in the background upholstery, which also looks very original.

The product can be decorated with an application, the drawing of which can be developed independently, or peeped on the Internet. It’s just not worth choosing an application consisting of many elements, otherwise the work will turn into a continuous flicker as a result. The pattern should be simple and clear.
To do right choice and do not spoil the product, follow some rules:
For many, the shape of the future product is very important, which can be very diverse. An example of using a mold when sewing a pillow can be products in the form of flowers, animals, and so on. But it is better to avoid too complex forms, since it will be problematic to care for such products.
There are four main forms of decorative pillows:
You can combine products of different shapes. For example, a combination of square and rectangular products looks good.
Try using the patchwork technique when sewing, which allows you to create original and at the same time practical options.
