More Prints Charming ..... Just love it - not only visually but tactilly (if that's a word?) - this fabric is soft and lovely - no other way to describe it - a couple of the pieces I used are their hand printed panels that I bought at the Finders Keepers Markets in Sydney - the rocket on the pillow is one such panel ....
So, here is how it folds - this green fabric is the backing ... I quilt tied the layers altogether ...
That funny shape is the running stitch around the "pillow" - so you place the quilt on a flat surface, with the pillow opening "up" - that's where the handles are ... you then fold the quilt longways to the middle and tuck the first bit into the pillow - oh dear, I knew this would be complicated, and I think another photo of that stage may help - but stay with me ...
Fold the remaining length into thirds ... heading down to the pillow ... and tuck it into the pillow.
Here is a close up of the groovy rocket - you can't really see the running stitch, (because I'm so perfectly neat) because it's dark blue on black ...
I followed the instructions from here ..... (I did alter the dimensions and attached the handles) go on, give it a go! When it's unfolded you can slip your footsies into the pillow for some extra cosy warmth.

I wish I had thought to put handles on the *bag* of my quillows. What a good idea! The Prints Charming fabric is amazing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Stitching...Ann :)
That's really great. My mum has said she'll make my kids quillows if and when they go away to college/uni when they're bigger. x

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea! A few years ago a friend gave me a beach towel that is just like this - closes into a bag. Very useful and cute!
