Wild Leaves Pillow

Other Supplies: Fabric (Dark Yellow, Light Yellow, White), Fabric Scissors, Iron, Pillow Form, Pom-Pom Trim (Light Yellow), Sewing Machine, Thread (Dark, Yellow, White)

1. Cut a rectangle out of white fabric, 3/4" longer on each side than the pillow form.
2. Cut two rectangles out of white fabric, one that is two-thirds the length of the first cut out (same width), and one that measures half the length of the first cut out (same width).
3. Hem one end of each of the two smaller rectangles.
4. Iron the adhesive onto the light yellow and dark yellow fabric. Use this adhesive-backed fabric for die-cutting the shapes.
5. Die-cut seven leaves out of the dark yellow fabric.
6. Die-cut eight leaves out of the light yellow fabric.
7. Remove the adhesive backing from the leaves and iron them randomly all over the large white fabric rectangle.
8. Use a sewing machine to stitch up the middle of each leaf with yellow thread.
9. Position the two smaller white rectangles on top of the pillow front, right sides together so the leaves are on the inside and the hemmed edges are on top.
10. Pin all around the edges, joining the leafy piece and the two smaller cut outs.
11. At each end of the pillow, pin a strip of pom-pom trim with the pom-poms facing inwards between the fabric layers and pin.
12. Sew around the edges, removing pins as you go and fixing the pom-poms in place.
13. Turn the pillow cover right side out and fill with the pillow form.
