Happy Canada Day! DIY

                                        

                                               Happy Canada Day to all my

                                            Canadian Friends!

Thought I would share with you a burlap pillow

I made for my girls.

Supplies needed:

Burlap

Scissors

craft paint, white and red

Maple Leaf stencil

ruler

sewing machine

polyester stuffing

cotton fabric for pillow insert

I cut my fabric 20 x 20 "

4" on each side I painted my red border stripe

in the centre I painted on the white

While that was drying ,

 I cut a 20"x 10" x 2 for my pillow insert

Sewed all the edges leaving an opening to stuff with the polyester stuffing.

Then I stuffed it full and stitched it closed.

Now back to the burlap.

I centred my maple leaf  stencil on the white and proceeded to paint it in with my red paint..

Then while it was drying I cut another piece of 20 x 20" burlap for the backing.

 

I folded the fabric in two and cut , now having two seperate pieces

I did the same with the painted piece of burlap.

Now I have 2 pillows.

Sewed the right sides together leaving an opening at one end and inserted the

pillow form.

Then I folded the ends in and stitched close to the edge......

There you have it I now have two pillows, but in my case I made 4.
