...I finished the sweet little star pillow...the baby shower is this weekend...
...instead of just stitching the little diamonds together...I sort of overlapped them and crocheted them together for a little bit more definition at the joins...
...here are both sides stitched (or rather crocheted) together...
...then I did actually stitch the outsides together...
...leaving an opening for stuffing...
...then I turned the star right side out...I didn't bother with weaving in any strings as they will all be on the inside...
...right side out and unstuffed...
...then to define the edges a little bit more...I did go back and crochet just a chain stitch over the edges I'd sewn together...
...ready for stuffing...
...stuffing complete...I stitched up the little hole I'd left...
...and then since I couldn't crochet this one little side where the stuffing hole was...I did an embroidery chain stitch over the seam...
...and the sweet little star pillow is ready for gifting...
...what's in your workbasket?
~Have a lovely day!
That's a sweet pillow. I haven't made anything in a long time. The other day I purchased a few small balls of mixed cotton (85 %) and polyester (15%). I'm making a few dishcloths to see how they work as I normally only use cotton yarn.
ReplyDeleteas usual, that is just adorable!! i'm working on my sewing machine repairing a few canvas items.
