Yesterday I posted that I was having trouble with getting the points to line up on my pillow. I had some great suggestions for 'saving' the one that I already made, and I think instead of entirely ripping it apart I am going to embrace it for what it is and keep it. But since the intended recipient was my Modern Swappers partner, I just want it to be more perfect so I will attempt it again.
Fortunately, when I went on Flickr this morning I saw that someone else had made a pillow similar and the points matched up! Also fortunately, she was kind enough to make a tutorial for her pillow that I think might help. Especially since the suggestions she gave for sewing it together were already mentioned by Kelly in yesterday's comments. Apparently I need to hear it in stereo for it to sink in! LOL.
Anyway, I'm hoping to make another one this weekend, so wish me luck!
Hey, I learned the hard way about the right order to put pieces together. I was making a pinwheel block for the first time (for a Bee member no less) and it was terrible! I found out later that if I simply changed the order I assembled the pieces, it came out great. Live and learn!
ReplyDeleteFunny how simple things can be sometimes and we make it so difficult.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the tutorial. I love this pillow! And good luck with the next try, although I am sure your partner would have loved your first attempt too!
