Oval Patchy Pillow – by Amy Butler – Sewing Pattern

Description

Oval Patchy Pillow Plus two bonus projects!

Sewing patterns by Amy Butler.

Patchwork modern style for a fresh take on decor! These cool and comfy pillows can be made up in a variety of coordinating prints or just one print for a subtle feel. With bonus projects to make square and rectangle pillows, you’ll have plenty of patchwork to go around!

Materials List for the Oval Patchy and both Bonus Pillows (makes one pillow)

Allow extra yardage for matching or centering a design on your fabric.

You have 2 options for making the front of your pillow. You can either make a “patchwork” design using three coordinating prints or simply use one print. I like to mix things up so I made my pillows with patchwork on the front and a single print on the back.

The pillow can be made using 44” wide quilting weight fabric OR 54” wide mid-weight Home Dec fabric. Please check the charts below for the amount required for the style you’re making.

Please enjoy the BONUS projects below! More is more when it comes to pillows.
You’ll measure and mark directly onto your fabric for these two styles. Have fun and happy sewing! ~Amy
