Free Patriotic Pillow Pattern tutorial:

step 1 – Cut out the Patriotic Pillow Pattern

Print up the pattern (you can get assembly instructions here. Cut out 1 of each of the pattern pieces.

In addition to the pattern you will need to cut a 3.5 by 78 inch long strip for the five point star (you will need to sew a couple pieces together). A 3.5 by 64 strip for the star in star pattern.

step 2 – Begin to sew the star pilow

 

Because we’re going to rag the cloth you will pin wrong sides together and sew using a .5 seam allowance.

For the 5 point pillow: be sure that the very center of the star is closed after sewing the pieces together. (Click on gallery pictures for more visual detail).

Star in Star: Sew the outer pieces together and then sew the star in the center

Both stars: Once the front is assembled pin the side piece on to the front (again wrong sides together)

Then sew around the star.

step 3 – Pin and sew back of the star

Both Pillows: Sew a short section 3-4 inches at a .4 seam allowance on the side cloth and then on the backing – this is to preserve the fabric at the baking when you rag the pillow.

With wrong sides together pin the back of the star onto the pillow – but this time be sure to leave a 3 inch gap for turning and stuffing. Sew together using the same seam allowance that you used on the front of the pillow. trim threads.

step 4 – Ragging the Free Patriotic Pillows

Both pillows: Go along each of the seams and cut little slits along all of the seams, about .25 inch (or less ) apart

Then toss into the washer, once maybe two times to get the fabric to fray – then dry in the dryer to finish the ragging process.

step 5 – Final Steps

Stuff to desired firmness (I like it to be a little more firm so it can stand better without sagging.) Hand sew or machine sew the opening shut. If desired sew a button onto the center.
