Why would you need one? You simply cut two squares or rectangles that are a little bigger (1/2 inch taller, 1/2 inch wider) than you want your final pillow to be. The parts that my machine complained about (where the trim enters the seam) I sewed by hand, and not very neatly.Īnd no, there is no pattern involved with this DIY pom pom pillow. So the trim is glued, the pillow is sewed. I decided to go with horizontal stripes of pom pom trim instead of working it around the edge (because it’s easier – and hey, it looks good too!) And then I discover that my equipment will not be happy with sewing so many thick layers. So here I am, with mustard yellow velvet, and pom pom trim and I’m dreading carefully laying it out so it sits nice ‘n straight, even when I sew. So I tend to do things strategically, rather than professionally – especially since I’m crafting for myself and not to sell. Now let me tell you a little something about me: while I do sew, I don’t have serious equipment, and I am seriously lacking in patience. My couch, by the way, is an IKEA couch that I got more for practicality than aesthetic, but it’s also piled with throw pillows and begging for more. So I picked it up to make a DIY pom pom pillow for my couch. Also, it completely matched my living room. One such treasure was a remnant of this mustard velvet fabric (they call it gold!) that my 15 year old self would be horrified at. And yet, on one glorious day off, I drove all the way out there to see which treasures I might discover. So unique is it in its nature, that I am willing to drive out quite far to discover new craft stores.Ĭase in point: our closest Joann store is about a 45-50 minute drive away. It’s called “shopping for craft supplies”. Want another cozy pillow to craft? Check out my cozy crochet throw pillow that I made last year – with a hand muff! This post contains affiliate links.
