Oh, Deer Pillow

Fabric Requirements:

Notes:

• Finished Size: 13" x 14"
• All seam allowances are 1/4" unless noted.
• Fat 1/4 = approximately 18" x 22"
• WOF = width of fabric
• * = Adhere fusible adhesive to back of fabric before cutting the shapes.

Cutting the Shapes:

1. In eCAL2, go to the eshape store, and search for the Deer Head set by Miss Kate Cuttables. Purchase this shape or a similar shape.
2. Turn the "Layer" off the shapes you will not be cutting. Enlarge the chosen image to fit just within the 12" x 12" eCAL2 cutting area.
3. Place the gold plaid fabric right side down onto the Fabric Cutting Mat. Press firmly.
4. Load the Fabric Cutting Mat, and cut when ready. If using scrap pieces, make sure to use "Laser Cut Preview" to ensure you will cut the shape correctly.
5. Cut. Pull shapes and leftover fabric off the Fabric Cutting Mat.

Assembling the Pillow Top:

1. Center the Deer Head to the 13 1/2" x 14" pink background. Heat fuse in place with an iron.
2. Sew around Deer Head with coordinating thread as desired.

Making the Piping:

1. Stitch the 2 1/2" ends together of the gold plaid Strips.
2. Place the piping down the middle of the Strip and fold over, lining up the edges.
3. With a zipper foot, baste close to the cording.

Finishing:

1. Baste stitch the piping along the perimeter of the pillow front.
2. Layer the pillow top and pillow back, right sides together. Pin and sew with 1/2" seam allowance, leaving an opening approximately 4" long to stuff.
3. Clip excess fabric in the corners on the diagonal. Turn right side out, stuff the pillow to desired loft and whipstitch closed.
