This Easy Ribbon Pillow Free pdf pattern and tutorial is a great first project. I love these easy to follow instructions for this ribbon pillow. Great home decor DIY idea! Easy to sew tutorial.You can make a great looking pillow that adds color and style to a room and takes minutes to make.  You can also sew the ribbons on in such a way that you can attach cute hair clips to it to display fun hair accessories.

For the Pillow
1/2 yard fleece (you could really use several different kinds of fabric for this pillow)
Pillow form 
thread
Ribbon of various colors and widths

Easy Ribbon Pillow Tutorial

1 – Cut out the pattern

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

 

2 – Lay out your design

Layout and pin the ribbon in the pattern or design you want. – keep in mind that if you want to be able to clip flowers to the pillow you need to be able to leave gaps in the ribbon.
Sew the ribbon onto the front. I sewed a line straight across all the ribbon every 4 inches or so.  Use your best judgment.  If you aren’t planning on sticking flowers on the pillow you can applique them to the front by running a zigzag stitch along each edge of the ribbons,

 

3- Turn under back edge

Turn under the edge of the top back piece one inch and sew using a straight stitch along the edge of the fabric..  If you are using fleece, felt or t-shirt knit there  is no need to do this to the bottom piece.  However, if you are using any other fabric you will need to turn under the side closest to the center of the pillow 1/4 inch and sew close to the edge of fabric.

 

4 – Sew the pillow together

With the top of the pillow right side facing up, lay the top back piece on top of the pillow, line up and pin, then lay back bottom piece on pillow, pin.  Now using a 1/2 seam allowance sew all the way around the pillow.

 

5 – Final Steps

Trim threads, trim corners, turn right side out.  Insert pillow form.  Tada! Now you have a great pillow.
If you want to add flowers you can do so now.  For a tutorial on the satin flowers you can go here.  For a fleece flower you can go here.

The great part about using and “envelope” pillow design is that it slides off easy for washing, and can be changed out for the seasons or a room refresh.
