Sewing class at Sewfisticated in Framingham

Pillows 101 September Class

Pillows 101

I decided to have a pillow class in September for the beginner sewer. First we will practice sewing straight and pivoting our fabric so we can have great corners. Then we will be cutting out the pillow and installing a zipper on the bottom. Once that is done we will sew all around and our pillow will be done. Pre registration is required, no walk-ins please.

New embroidered cream Pillow

Custom embroidered pillows

The above embroidery is one I decided to do for myself.  Originally I was just going to do my name so I could see what the color combinations would be like and what the size porpotion would be.  I really liked it. 

A couple of days later I decided to do something on the back.  I thought it would be a lot easier than it was.  I had to do each design seperately so I don't know the number of times I threaded and unthreaded the needle.  It took longer than I thought, but I love it.  It's called something like lovebirds.  So cute.

A new client sent me an email and I designed this pillow for her with my 5D software.  I worked hard on this one.  I ended up using two spools of thread to get the desired effect I wanted.  I was very happy with the effect I received.
