Seeing Stars Pillow Tutorial

Step 1 – Cut out the pattern

Print up the pattern (you can get assembly instructions here). Cut out 2 of each of the pattern pattern piece.

Cut the pattern. This DIY Seeing Stars Pillow adds the perfect pop of color and cozy charm to any room, and the best part is it only takes 3 easy steps to make. Yes, three. If you’ve got fabric and a few spare minutes, you’re already halfway there. Grab the free pattern, follow the step-by-step tutorial, and create a pillow that makes your space shine a little brighter.

In addition to the pattern, you will need to cut a 3.5 by 78-inch-long strip (you will need to sew a couple of pieces together for the large star), a 3.5 by 64-inch strip for the medium pillow, and a 3.5 by 48-inch strip for the small pillow.

Step 2 – Begin to sew

If you are adding cording, pin and sew it around the star (I like to sew the cording by itself with a zipper foot). Then, with right sides together, pin the long strip all the way around and sew on using a .5-inch seam allowance (.25-inch if using cording).

Sew the ends of the strip together. Then sew around the seeing stars pillow.

Quick Tip

While you can sew one continuous line around the star, I recommend sewing from point to point rather than trying to turn at the top of each point. So basically, you will sew 6 lines instead of one long continuous one.

Step 3 – Pin and sew back of the star

With right sides together, pin the back of the star onto the star pillow—but this time, be sure to leave a 3-inch gap for turning and stuffing.

Sew it together using the same seam allowance that you used on the front of the pillow. Trim the threads and points, then turn it right side out.

Step 4 – Final Steps

Stuff to desired firmness (I like it to be a little firmer so it can stand better without sagging.)

Hand-sew the opening shut. If desired, sew a button onto the center. That’s it, your Seeing Stars Pillow is finished!
