Previously, cross stitching, smoothing and other handicraft techniques were often used to decorate decor elements (pillows, blankets, towels). Now it is being done less and less, but there are some interesting ways to decorate pillows, applying old knowledge. From this article you will learn how to decorate decorative pillows using cross-stitch.
Master-class №1: Children's pillow with cross-stitch
It will take:
- canvas with a ready-made pattern embroidered with a cross;
- the cloth;
- sintepon;
- sewing supplies, paper.
- We measure the sides of our embroidery, having deviated from the edge 2-3 cm at the seam. It turned out: width - 15 cm, length 30 cm.
- We make a pattern according to this scheme. The width of each piece is 10 cm and the lower length is 47.5 cm. We cut out and get the following patterns:
- We fold the fabric in half and cut out two such details on the patterns.
- Having made allowances for seams on 1 sm, we spread them around a border with drawing.
- We spend the details, then we sew the rim and smooth the seams.
- We measure the resulting part and from the fabric we cut out a rectangle with the same parameters.
- We sew them from the wrong side, leaving a small hole through which we fill the sintepon, and then we sew it.
