Detail of the snowmen embroidery |
Here is the pillow cover I made for Christmas. I bought a few different designs of snowmen from Embroidery Library. My husband chose this
one.

Adding fusible stabler to the front, corners cut to prevent dog-ears |
I chose a deep green wool from my stash and embroidered the design with white thread. Then because it was a thinner fabric, I used a fusible stabilizer from Rowley Company to give it a little more body. I also serged the front and back pieces to a lightweight lining fabric. I do this with most of my pillows to protect the face fabric.

Making the covered cord |
I had some red and white ticking fabric in my stash that I used to make covered cord, even matching the stripes at the seams.

Detail of the covered cord on the pillow |
I added a zipper to the back and then sewed it all together. Another fun holiday pillow. Next I will be on the look out for something for spring as I think I can leave on the snowmen cover for most of the winter.
