Ruffledy pillows

Not too long ago, while blog browsing, I came across a little picture tutorial of a ruffled pillow at Creamy White and decided to try my hand at making one myself.

First I tore two and three inch wide strips of fabric and machine basted them right down the middle.

Then I pulled the bobbin thread to make the strips all ruffledy.

After pining them in place to the pillow fabric, I sewed them on.  Also right down the middle.

Then I sewed up the pillow and stuffed it.

I had so much fun with the first one that I did it all again.

After posing the pillow on the bed,

I took no less than 127 pictures of Sophie.

I pulled some fabric from my stash (I inherited fabric stashing from my mother who inherited it from her mother) and would like to find ideas for a couple more pillows.  I was thinking large square pillows using the fabric in the lower left corner.

Please take some time to visit Li and look around Creamy White.  She has lot of good ideas!
