One last (partial) finish for the summer break challenge before we head back to school. While I had hoped to complete all six pillows, I’m satisfied that I finished three. (My biggest three boys will have to wait just a little bit longer, ha!) For the boys’ cross-stitching, I used a 28ct evenweave fabric and it was just okay. Very thick and stiff; linen is much easier to handle. The pillows aren’t perfect but thankfully, the kids don’t seem to mind.
DETAILS
+ Patterns: Avengers, Storybook Princesses, and a design created by a big brother
+ Cross-Stitch Fabric: 28ct Evenweave in white for the boys, a white linen from my stash for the princesses
+ Pillow forms: 12″x16″ Basic Insert
+ Tutorial for finishing the pillows: Envelope Method tutorial from Sew Crafty Me
+ Skeins of thread and fabrics: from my stash
TOTAL FOR ALL THREE PROJECTS: $36.47
The pillows look awesome!! Great job. I don’t have this skill and will likely never acquire it but I admire that others put the work into it.
I hope your kids love these and treat them like heirlooms! It was such a cool idea.
That’s so cool
