DIY — Ghost cushion

Is Halloween coming? A themed event?  Here is how to sew a ghost pillow. I suggest a shape and 3 facial expressions... It's up to you to choose and have fun!

Material

• Fabric of your choice
• Black piping cord
• Iron-on Viseline H250 
• Erasable marker
• Sewing thread
• Pattern to download

Step 1 : Trace

Print the shape and choose the "face" you want for your ghost's expression.

Cut out a small piece of iron-on viseline, to strengthen the fabric, and place it where the embroidery of the face will be. Then place your fabric on the shape and trace it. I used an erasable pen that fades with the use of the iron.

Step 2 : embroidery

Embroidery with your machine: push the your feed dogs down and use the zigzag stitch or you can embroider it by hand, it works too!

Step 3: to assemble

Place a piping around the edge of your fabric shape.

Place the other side right sides together and sew around the edge again using the first seam. Leave a small opening...

Turn it over and iron the cushion cover... you only have to fill with wadding (or fabric scraps) before closing it...

Your cushion is ready !

Seen you soon,
