Materials:
Rainbow Classic felt by Kunin
- two 20" x 20" felt squares
- nine 5" x 18" felt rectangles in lavender - #754, orchid - #758 and purple - #751
chalk or marker
scissors
ruler
16" x 16" pillow form
Steps:
1. Draw a chalk line one inch in to indicate a "no cut zone" on one long side of each of the 5" x 18" felt pieces.
2. Make parallel cuts in the felt to fringe it (figure A). It should look like a big eyelash.
3. Starting at the bottom of a 20" x 20" felt square, pin the fringed panels to the square to create the pillow base. Keep the overlapping the panels ( figure B).
4. Sew the fringed felt panels onto the pillow base.
Assembly
1. Place the square, fringed-side down, on the other fringed square. Pin the edges, making sure no fringe is caught in the edges.
2. Sew the felt squares together along three sides. Leave one edge unstitched.
3. Insert the pillow form in the opening at the right side of the pillow cover.
4. Hand stitch the open end closed.
