I love anything that I can decorate my home with that represents the state I live in. I have stenciled a pillow before with the silhouette of Kentucky on it, but now thanks to Silhouette's fabric interfacing and fabric blade, I can make pillows whenever I please with fabric! You don't know how much this means to me...I love making my own pillows! I decided to start with a silhouette of Kentucky just to see how it would work, and it turned out perfectly! Our little turquoise desk now has it's own little pillow!
To make your own, you will need fabric, heat transfer fabric interfacing, and a Silhouette with a fabric blade.
You will need to cut your fabric and interfacing to the size you need depending on how large your image will be.
Iron the fabric onto the tacky side of the interfacing.
Smooth your interfacing with fabric onto your Silhouette mat and insert it into the machine.
Choose your image and program your Silhouette to do the cutting.
Once your image is cut, iron it on to your pillow fabric.
Now, sew a pillow in your preferred method, and you've got it!
Now isn't this the cutest little pillow you've ever seen? If you don't prefer KY, just pretend it's Georgia, or California, or heck, even Hawaii!
Now to the even better part...you can buy these Silhouette Supplies along with a Silhouette in a bundle at a huge discount....ORRRRR...you could win your very own Silhouette Portrait!!!
