Ginormous Button Pillow

Couldn't help but try to make my own version of a Big Button Pillow I saw online. I changed it up by using a red fabric marker on my natural twill fabric. If you sew, this is as easy as it gets.

Step 1 Gather Your Materials

3/4 yard of twill

What kind of sewing machine is that?

I love this so so much. I just need to get some fabric to do it with now!

I love this, I'm going to try and make one. I don't have a curved needle or a long one for the centre stitches... hopefully it will still work!

This is really cute. Didn't H&M do a similar one? Was that where you got your idea? Really well done.

Yeah, I knew I could do a version of it. I recently read the AT post about your table/nightstand rehab--loved it. Your site is great. Thanks for commenting. :)

My goal as a teacher is to show HOW to execute an idea, not necessarily how to execute the ideas I would personally have all around my house. Thanks for your compliment.

[modhomeecteacher]

Possibly, you're correct. However, I was showing how to make a knock-off the the pillow done by a huge apparel retailer in Europe that is breaking into the Home Products line. I do have an idea very similar to your suggestion for something else. I don't want to overdo the button thing though. thanks for your comment, you're a sewer?

I have to agree with sensoryhouse; how about cutting the center off each of the four center holes, and sewing the pillow in such a way that it would most resemble a button by having four actual holes in the center? Of course, stitching each center hole's rim individually so the stuffing wouldn't come out. I love the concept, but fabric marker does not show the full potential of the idea.

Fabric Markers! Genius!! I want to make this with some sort of big rope between the button holes to look like thread!

[modhomeecteacher]

if you're a good artist, you could draw the rope look. I couldn't do it.

This is really cute, and well written. You could probably use a fancy stitch to do the red lines instead of a marker if you wanted a different look. Great job!

Stitching would be sooo cute. I was trying to get it done quickly. Thanks for the comment.
