This pillow’s pleated front is embellished with thin belted accents and a bow. With no intricate angles or curves, it’s a great project to practice pleating. Master the fold-and-tuck method, and you can use it again and again.
Patchwork done in small prints in a coordinated color palette is lovely. But when you want to mix it up, try bold designs + bright colors set against crisp, clean white with hand embroidery on the front and pretty tassels on the back.
Pleats and tucks are a versatile sewing embellishment. We love the Wave Tuck, done with clever folding and stitching in two contrasting fabrics. We use it here on a pillow; bet you can think of lots of ways to add some rippling waves.
We searched for trendy decorator pillows at retail then โknocked offโ our own versions for $100s less, like this bold awning-stripe option with piping + peek-through grommets. Other interesting accents? Try buckles, rings or toggles.
