The "T" Initial Pillow!

I made this pillow recently for my teacher, Mrs. Teter, and I followed the same steps I usually use to create my "Initial Pillows".

I start with two pieces of fabric about the size I want my finished pillow.

I chose a color of felt and cut a letter out of it, using a template I draw with pencil, or a shape I print out from online. Sewing the felt letter onto the fabric with embroidery floss is the last step to finishing the initial! 

I do enjoy adding something small onto the corner of the initial, usually out of felt. You can use your imagination and embroidery floss to create a special touch, like this singing bird!

 Next, I place the right sides of both pieces of fabric together. Using a sewing machine, I sew around the sides of the fabric, leaving a small opening.

Turn the pillow inside out, using the opening. I stuff the pillow by hand with batting 

(see Inspire 1 pillow) and hand sew the opening up. Sorry there is no picture here. 

Now the initial pillow is finished!

I really enjoy making personalized initial pillows for people because you get to use your imagination and create something completely unique.
