2 Quick and Simple Christmas Pillows
Learn how to make two different Christmas pillows. Using the disappearing 9 patch and quilt as you go technique. Simple sewing projects for Christmas.
Quick and simple is sometimes what I’m all about. I like to have a few things around the house that are Holiday related…but don’t really want to spend a whole lot of time on them.
These Christmas Pillows are all about that. Simple and Quick. But cute!
Using a few other tutorials from around here…they are perfect for quickly sewing up either for yourself or for a quick gift.
These pillows are actually going off to a trade soon….I will be getting two new ones and totally excited to see what they are!
Materials Needed:
pillow form- this can be sized to your favorite pillow form
christmas fabric- a few fat eights or scraps to get a variety. One pillow uses 5″X5″ squares
HeatnBond Lite for applique
Christmas Pillow Tutorial first pillow: (the one with the tree)
1) Cut your fusible fleece to the size that you’d like your pillow to be. mine were 16″ square so I used a 17″ square piece and trimmed after I was finished
2) Follow these quilt as you go instructions to finish your pillow top– I did some super simple quilting, only 1/4″ straight lines on either side of each seam. Using red thread made it pop and give the pillow a little bit more interest.
3) Trim the edges to the size you’d like
4) Cut a tree shape out of green and a trunk out of brown. Fuse, glue or pin in place and raw edge applique to secure
5) Make your favorite pillow backing to complete the pillow and stuff a pillow form inside
Christmas Pillow Tutorial second pillow: (Disappearing 9 patch Double Twist)
1) Cut your fusible fleece to the size that you’d like your pillow to be. mine were 16″ square so I used a 17″ square piece and trimmed after I was finished
2) Follow these instructions to make your disappearing 9 patch Double Twist Quilt Block— Because the block gives you a few options, you can audition them before deciding the layout. This is what I love about these disappearing quilt blocks!
3) Sew fabric strips around the quilt block to make it a bit bigger — you can choose the width of the strips.
4) Trim the edges to the size you’d like– I did some super simple quilting, only 1/4″ straight lines on either side of each seam. Using red thread made it pop and give the pillow a little bit more interest.
5) Make your favorite pillow backing to complete the pillow and stuff a pillow form inside
Love this fabric as much as I do? You can Fussy Cut it for some quick and simple Christmas Ornaments!
