Rag Quilt Pillow Sham Sewing Pattern

One of my favorite things to do is custom orders.  One of the custom things that I get requests for are pillows to match the quilts that I make.

How to Sew a Rag Quilt Throw Pillow

My favorite part of sewing as a business is being able to do custom requests.  A customer will see something that sparks interest, but they want something changed.  So they email me and we figure out how to make that dream a reality.

New Ruffle Flower Rag Quilt in Turquoise and PInk in Multiple Sizes PLUS Pillow Shams

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Smartsilk. I received a free sample of the product for the purpose of this review. All opinions are my own. 

I had a customer request a modification to one of my most popular quilt designs. She wanted a full size ruffle flower rag quilt with 2 pillow shams. I was beyond excited to make this set for her. It has been a quilt that I have been wanting to make into a larger version, but without having a customer wanting it, it never got done.

I am so glad that I finally was able to make one. I absolutely love how it turned out.

Don't mind that the quilt looks a little small on the bed.  I don't have a full size bed at my disposal so the next best thing was my daughters queen size bed.

 I love how the pillows turned out!  They seriously are adorable. 

 For the insert of the pillow sham I used a Smartsilk pillow.  I love how fluffy this pillow is.  It seriously reminds me of a down pillow. Plus, its divine to sleep on!

 Seriously, can't get over the cuteness!

DIY Flower Patterns. Simple and Easy Ribbon Flowers

I love making flowers out of ribbon and fabric. Here are a couple of patterns that I have available in my shop.

 

Today we are sharing one of our favorites. Its simple and uses only ribbon and elastic. 

Ribbon flower Tutorial

Ingredients:

50 inches of ribbon (I used 7/8 inch ribbon and 3/8 inch grosgrain ribbon, but you can use just one or a combination of several)
30 inches of ¼ inch elastic
Hot glue
thread
Hair Clip or pin
Small piece of fabric

Directions:

Follow the directions above, but use one continuous piece of ribbon
Also, when using ribbon you need to seal the ends of the ribbon by either using fray check, a match, a lighter, or a heat gun. It really does not matter the method you just don’t want your ribbon to fray/unravel
1. Sew the ribbon onto the elastic. Make sure to pull the elastic as tight as possible.

2. Put hot glue onto the elastic and roll it up onto itself.
3. Glue the back of the flower.
4. Cut a circle out of the piece of fabric and glue it onto the back of the flower
5. Attach the clip or pin onto the flower. I recommend covering the hair clip with grosgrain ribbon to make it look finished.
