Snow Day Pillow

I am a sucker for a quick and cute project that can be easily completed in a few hours or less. It is cold and snowy here where I live, so a Snow pillow is an addition that can be used for almost ½ of the year. Amy here from Sew Incredibly Crazy to show you just how to create your very own.

Snow Day Pillow Instructions

Step 1: Cut a 20" square from the background fabric. Save the rest of the fabric for the back. Step 2: Print the Snow Day pattern onto the EZ Print HeatnBond Lite Sheets. Step 3: Iron the SNW to the Small Print Fat Quarter. Step 4: Iron the snowflake shape to the White Fat Quarter. Step 5: Cut out the shape and letters directly on the line. Step 6: Find the centerline of the background fabric by folding it in half and ironing a small crease in it. Step 7: Layout the letters up to the centerline. Find where the Snowflake will go, but remove it and wait to iron it on. Leave approximately a 3" space from the right and left edge of the letters to the edge of the background fabric. Step 8: Iron the letters in place and then stitch around them using an applique stitch. Step 9: Iron the Snowflake on top of the N and W. It will overlap both letters. Stitch around the Snowflake. Step 10: Take the Pompom Trim and baste it to the edge of the pillow top. Step 11: Create the back to the pillow. Step 12: With the right sides together, stitch the front and back of the pillow cover together. ENJOY!!!
