Nancy Zieman’s Absolute Easiest Way to Sew Pillows: Palette Pillow FREE! Sewing Tutorial

Sew our NEW! Nancy Zieman’s Absolute Easiest Way to Sew Pillows: Palette Pillow with our easiest ever sewing techniques, and Classic Timesaving Tips by Nancy Zieman, and see how using the right tools makes the sewing process enjoyable, even for beginners!

What is a Palette Pillow? Team NZP named our NEW! Palette Pillow for the pillow’s front flat fabric surface, which is an ideal area — or palette — to showcase a variety of fabrics or techniques. Simply feature a beautiful fabric print – as we did with this pillow, or choose a fun novelty fabric, or a leftover quilt block. Try a new technique when making your next Palette Pillow: Prior to sewing your pillow together, decorate the square front fabric “palette” with ribbons, trims, buttons, applique, thread embellishment, machine embroidery, and/or nearly any embellishments you’d like – you’re the designer!

To make our NEW! Nancy Zieman’s Absolute Easiest Way to Sew Pillows Palette Pillow, follow our easy instructions – within our NEW! Nancy Zieman’s Absolute Easiest Way to Sew Pillows Palette Pillow Pattern included with the NEW! Nancy Zieman’s Absolute Easiest Way to Sew Pillows Palette Pillow Bundle Box!

Note: All seam allowances are 1/2″.

Prepare Fabrics:

Pre-shrink project fabrics by steaming and pressing, and steaming and pressing a second time, and then spray starch and press one more time – using June Tailor’s® Starch Savvy.

Cut Fabric and Interfacing:

• Cut one 19″ x 19″ square Red Elegance Floral Fabric by Team NZP for Riley Blake Designs for Pillow “Palette” Front.

• Cut one 19″ x 46″ rectangle Gray Knit Stretch Jersey Knit Fabric for Pillow Back.

• Cut one 19″ x 19″ square Pellon Sof-Shape Interfacing.

• Cut TWO 4″ x 19″ rectangles Pellon Easy-Knit Interfacing.

• Following manufacturer’s instructions, press Easy-Knit Interfacing rectangles to short ends of Pillow Back/Gray Knit Stretch Jersey Knit Fabric.

• Fold Pillow Back rectangle, right sides together, meeting short ends. Place a pin at fold — marking center. Repeat placing pin at opposite folded edge. Set aside.

     To find the right side of single knit jersey fabric, pull along the crosswise grain — the knit curls to the right side.

• Following manufacturer’s instructions, press Sof-Shape Interfacing square to back of Pillow “Palette” Front/Red Elegance Floral Fabric.

• Position Pillow “Palette” Front fabric square wrong side up on ironing board.
• Using Clover’s Hot Ruler, press under 1/2″ toward fabric back, along top and bottom edges only.

• Fold Pillow “Palette” Front, right sides together, meeting pressed under edges. Place a pin at fold — marking center. Repeat placing pin at opposite folded edge.

• Align Pillow “Palette” Front wrong side to center of Pillow Back right side, matching center marking pins. Pin Pillow “Palette” Front to Pillow Back.

     Be sure to position Pillow Palette Front to Pillow Back — aligning “cut edges” of Pillow Palette Front to “cut edges” of Pillow Back.

• Using a Schmetz Universal Size 90 Needle, Topstitch Pillow “Palette” Front to Pillow Back around all four edges of Pillow “Palette” Front.

• Using Clover’s Hot Ruler, turn under 2″ on each narrow end of Pillow Back; pin.

• Using a wobble stitch, stitch (or hem) narrow ends of Pillow Back — near cut edges, at both ends.

      The “Wobble” Stitch! Use a “wobble” stitch when sewing knits. A wobble stitch is a very narrow zigzag stitch, that appears as straight stitching on the right side of the seam. Set machine for a zigzag stitch with a 2.5 length and .5 width.

•  Fold Pillow Back top over Pillow “Palette” Front, right sides together — folding along top edge of Pillow “Palette” Front. Fold Pillow Back bottom upwards — folding along Pillow “Palette” Front lower edge, covering Pillow Back top. Pin at side seams.

• Stitch side seams with 1/2″ seam allowance — creating an envelope pillow cover.

     Use Clover’s 6-in-1 Stick ‘n Stitch Guide for accurate straight stitched seams. Simply align fabric edge to this repositionable guide.

• Turn pillow cover right-side out using Clover’s Point 2 Point Turner, and shape pillow corners.

• Insert Pellon’s 18″ Throw Pillow Form through Palette Pillow Back envelope opening.

• Your Palette Pillow is complete!
