But this style is called envelope back or envelope style. I think it would look cool with one of those partial doily stamps like on a corner. I don't know if that's descriptive enough, but I always liked that style where you see only part of the image.Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071016583187622819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073376604975931926.post-20355029147703679052013-01-18T09:19:17.680-08:002013-01-18T09:19:17.680-08:00Very great tutorial!

I have part of a drop cloth leftover from my headboard project so I just might have to make it into a pillow! <br /><br />I am thinking of doing our monogram on the fabric first.<br /><br />I have also been finding "ugly" but well made pillows at Goodwill for $4!

Amanda Blake Soule in her book, Handmade Home (library has it), shows a couple different ways to incorporate a child's drawing into fabric projects.

It's easy to add a fabric loop and handsome button for Pottery Barn-like look to make the closure side presentable (gives you 2 different looks in one pillow). It's also easy to make flanges on envelope-style pillows. Just decide how deep you want the flange to be and add that amount to the outer measurements, plus seam allowance. Then sew that depth on the OUTSIDE of the pillow cover once you've turned it right side out. <br /><br />Have fun deciding how to embellish your pillows!Gilliannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12804678111943582525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073376604975931926.post-49172405493686203932013-01-09T06:08:12.810-08:002013-01-09T06:08:12.810-08:00How great!
