A round pillow, the pattern of which is as simple as possible, is an original interior detail. It will give the room a cozy appearance and complement the sofa or bed. A pillow with a button in the center is often used in various compositions. For example, a set of several pillows of different geometric shapes and colors looks original at the head of the bed. Modern fashion design projects are often complemented by such innovative ideas. Before you sew a round pillow with your own hands, you need to think about its size. It must be compared with the size of the furniture on which the product will lie.
On a large bed, a small pillow will simply get lost, but at the same time it will become an ideal decorative element for a small sofa. A DIY round pillow can be made in various styles. Recently, products using the patchwork or patchwork technique have come into fashion. The pillowcase is assembled from pieces of material that differ in texture, color and pattern.
How to sew a round pillow with your own hands - patterns, work progress
First, let's look at the easiest way to sew a round pillow. You will need velvet, plain material, scissors, a needle, thread, and filler. In addition, you should choose a suitable middle in the form of a large pebble, brooch or other decorative element. The pattern consists of one rectangle. Sides – 90x40 centimeters. Progress:
- Using the paper pattern, cut out a velvet rectangle.
- Fold it in half. Front side inside. We sew the material along the width.
- Turn the workpiece right side out.
- We sew one edge with a standard seam and tighten it.
- We stuff the product with padding polyester.
- We sweep the pillow along the upper edge in a semicircle.
- Tighten the seam again. The fabric that gathers when tightened is hidden inside.
- We stitch at the place where the material is collected.
- We decorate the middle with a beautiful stone or bead.
How to sew a round pillow with hearts - master class
A round pillow with hearts looks stylish and unusual. Creating such a design element is real creativity, which will require:
- thread, needle, scissors;
- a snake through which you can get the pillow;
- round pillow or padding polyester;
- two multi-colored sheets of felt;
- The material for the pillowcase is plain.
We start with the pattern. Draw two circles on paper and cut them out. We apply the cuttings to the fabric, tracing them taking into account the seam allowances. We make a pattern of hearts. To do this, fold a sheet of paper in half and draw half a heart on one side. This method will allow you to create a completely symmetrical pattern. The size of the hearts is chosen arbitrarily. Further progress:
- Take felt of the same color and cut out hearts in any quantity.
- We do the same with material of a different color.
- We trace the pillow on a piece of paper and make preliminary markings for the placement of hearts on the product. This will allow you to calculate in advance how many parts will be needed.
- On the front part we lay out the hearts in stripes or diagonally - it doesn’t matter. We fix each element with a pin.
- We sew a round pillow using parallel stitches. Each seam passes through the middle of the decorative fragment.
- The lower part of the pillow can be decorated in the same way or left undecorated.
- All that remains is to sew in a snake if the product is to be used as a pillowcase.
How to sew a round pillow with a patchwork button
The patchwork technique has again reached its peak of popularity recently. Before this, it was unjustifiably forgotten, although patchwork products can decorate any interior in an original way. To sew a round pillow with a button using a fashionable technique, you will need to prepare scraps of different materials, a beautiful button and a set of sewing tools. Step-by-step operating instructions:
- Preparing the pattern. On cardboard or plain paper, draw a circle of the desired size. Add one centimeter to the allowance. Divide the circle into twelve equal parts. Let's cut out one of these parts, which will become a template for further work.
- Let's cut one piece at a time from different materials and sew them together, folding them inside out. The seam should be three millimeters from the edge.
- Turn the product over and iron it. Using this pattern, we gradually sew the remaining fabric petals until we get a semicircle.
- We will also sew the remaining three parts of the circle into a semicircle. Now we will combine both figures and iron them along each seam.
- For the back we use fabric of the same tone.Let's cut out a circle and connect it with a multi-colored part to check the diameter.
- From the remaining material we will cut a strip, the length of which will be equal to the circumference of the product. We choose the width of the strip ourselves depending on how high the pillow is.
- Sew the strip to the front side of the product. Connect its other edge to the back of the pillow. When making a seam, leave a gap for filling the craft.
- All that remains is to turn out the cover and fill it with padding polyester or holofiber. Afterwards, sew up the gap for filling.
- We decorate the product with a button. We sew it on with a long needle in the middle. The patchwork pillow is ready!
How to sew a round decorative pillow with felt flowers
To sew a round pillow with decorative felt petals, you will need:
- threads, needle, scissors;
- filler or round pillow;
- a sheet of felt of any color eight millimeters thick;
- material for the cover.
The sewing process is quite simple. Initially, cut out two identical circles from fabric. This will be the basis of the product. Then we move on to creating felt flowers:
- Cut out felt strips, the quantity depends on the size of the product and the desired splendor of the decor. The width of the strips is one and a half centimeters.
- We cut each strip into fragments, each four centimeters long. These will be flower petals. They need to be rounded on one side, cutting off the corners.
- Cut out a circle with a diameter of ten centimeters. Place the pieces of fabric in a circle. The rounded ends look outward, while the strips overlap slightly. We use pins to secure the elements. Sew the first circle to the base.
- By analogy, we apply the next tier of smaller diameter. Fewer details are required here. We make a seam again and secure the petals.
- We also do the third level, then the fourth.
- There will be a small gap in the center into which we will place the trefoil. This will be a single figure that we will cut out of the fabric and slightly pull together in the center with a couple of stitches. Sew the shamrock into the center of the flower.
- Prepare the required number of flowers, then sew them onto the front side of the pillowcase. The distance between colors is minimal. Fill the middle of the pillow with a small flower sewn from two trefoils.
- We sew the bottom part of the product, fill it with holofiber, sew up the gap or insert a snake.
