Hello, my name is Carolyn Saylors for Expert Village.com and I want to show you a quick and easy way to make a simple pillow. Now that we have it all ready to start sewing, I am ready to sew this hole up that we left. Be sure the threads don’t stick out, that’s part of the pillow there and you want to hide this knot so put that knot underneath of where you are starting and then loop it over and over. It is harder to do with a bigger needle and do it at an angle all the way down. Just keep on going all the way till you get to the end of this hole. You just grab both pieces, just a little bit of both edges and take the pins out as you go and just go on all the way down. Trying to do the quicker way you just sew it straight across with a sewing machine. Now when you reach the end of your opening, you are going to go through that last time and then you are going to get another loop here and then take this loop of thread you have left and loop it over that about twice and that will tie a knot. Put it around the end and there is your knot and that ties it off and cut it. There is your little round pillow.
Thanks a BUNCH! My daughter and I wanted to do her room ourselves instead of buying everything, and these videos are great, thanks.
