New Pillow pattern out

5/29/2013

2 Comments

 
I just noticed my new pillow pattern is in the catalog!  I finished my work on this pattern in October, so it's always a nice surprise when I see it officially published.

Next time I will show you how I made the fringe and pom-pons for two of the pillows.

Here is my personal photo of all these pillows before I packed them up in a box to send to New York.

If you look closely, there are a couple pillows here that didn't make it into the pattern envelope.  This usually happens.  It's just editing ... like the text of a book gets when sent into the publisher.
Simplicity chooses the best of the lot.

Here is one of the photos I sent in to Betsy Burger, the design director, for her approval of the fabrics I chose.

That pillow in the upper left part of the pattern envelope - the one with the circle center patch and the umbrella shaped pieces around it - I made one just like that for our bed a few years ago! It's so pretty! I think I need to make the one next to it, the one with the diagonal stripes. I miss you and all of the fun sewing and projects. Okay, I even miss the pea soup green jumpsuits and endless tutus! :)

Hi. I'm trying to make view H of this pillow pattern (the one with the diagonal stripes), but I'm struggling with the instructions. Do I really just sew each strip only down the center? Won't the raw edges of the strips fray, or should I finish them or FrayCheck them before sewing?
Thanks!
