Making Pillows: Choosing Materials
Hello! My name is Lindsay on behalf of Expert Village.com. In this clip, I will discuss with you the materials you will need on how to make a decorative pillow. You will need a sewing machine, thread for the pillow which really doesn’t matter what color you choose because it won’t be seen, a hot glue gun or fabric glue, about a 20 ounce bag of polyester fiberfill, measuring tape, scissors, another color of thread which is going to match your trimming. You will need about 2 yards of trimming such as gimp, fabric which you will need 1 ½ yards of this, a straight edge such as a ruler and straight pins. When choosing your material, you want to make sure you choose the fabric that is thick so it can hold up to everyday wear and tear. Also make sure that it is machine washable.
