Happy Birthday, Mom!

Published on by AbbyRose

Happy Birthday, Mom! My mom homeschooled my siblings and me for sooo many years and dealt with our crazy minds for years on end.

So every year I ask her what she wants for her birthday and she says “Peace, Love, and Harmony”. Well, it’s super hard to wrap that up for gifts so I made her pillows for our living room (something she’s about for a long while). My mom loves practical gifts so don’t think it’s weird I made these for her 🙂

There is a front and two back paneling
Sew 1/2 inch seams on one side of the two back panelings
We did a French seams on it meaning we sewed the front and back panels with right sides out at 1/4 inch first and trimmed any excess cloth off
Then folded it inside out and sewed it at 3/8 inch.

Then I refolded them so they were right sides out and I ironed the corners to a sharp edge.

And there ya go 4 – 18″ pillows and 2 – 16″ pillows

Thanks to Mrs. Z my amazing sewing instructor who wrote out the measurements and showed me how to cut them all out! She’s such an amazing seamstress and friend!
