Half Moon pillow VIDEO TUTORIAL

INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP 1:

Download the half moon pillow pattern and print at 100% (no scaling). Tape the paper pattern together as shown in the pattern layout. Trim according to the dashed (stitching) line.

STEP 2:

Lay your fabrics on your worktop, right sides facing. You can either use the same fabric for both sides or use two different fabrics.

Place the paper pattern on top and mark around the pattern with a fabric marker.

Make sure to mark the gap as indicated on the template.

STEP 3:

Cut out the fabrics 1 cm (3/8″) away from the line you’ve just marked.

STEP 4:

Pin or clip the fabrics together

STEP 5:

Stitch right on top of the marked line, leaving the gap for turning. Backstitch at the beginning and the end of the seam.

Check to make sure you caught both fabrics, especially if you are working with slippery fabric.

STEP 6:

Trim down the seam allowance to 6mm (1/4″). Do not trim the gap.

STEP 7:

Hem all around the pillow using a zig zag stitch. Hem the layers of the gap separately (you can skip hemming the gap altogether)

STEP 8:

Turn the moon pillow around through the gap. Use a blunt object to push out the horns. Use a pin to pull them out even more if necessary.

Roll the seam between your fingers to push it out.

STEP 9:

Iron the half moon pillow, tucking in the edges of the gap.

STEP 10:

Full it with polyfill stuffing to your desired fullness. Start with the horns and continue with the body of the moon.

STEP 11:

Close the gap by hand using either a slipstitch or an invisible ladder stitch.

That’s all there is to it.

The DIY moon cushion is ready!
