We sew a pillow
The steps are given on the example of one of them, but I will give a photo from both pillows.
Stage 1: Cut out the squares from the padding polyester (I take the brand 300, 300 is a gram per square meter)
2 pcs - 38x 38 cm. Next - 2 pcs. - 33x33 cm, 2 pcs. - 28x28 cm, 2 pcs - 23x23, 2 pcs. - 18x18 cm. As you understand, I reduce on each side, each subsequent square by 2.5 cm. This value can vary from 1.5 to 4 cm, depending on the final fullness of the pillow and your subsequent experience. I posted my experience
It looks like this.
This is for a different pillow - there were more layers, I wanted a little thicker.
You have two pyramids, now you need to turn one of them over and connect, like this ...
Stage 2: We fix this structure around the perimeter.
And we sew ... I'm on my hands, it's more convenient for me. Do you feel pot-bellied, lively, I would say? Like candy pads.
Step 3: This is the case. We sew with you a luxury pillow.
From cotton fabric and cotton filler for quilts (M 100) I cut out two squares 40x40 cm (1 cm allowances for seams on all sides). I draw stitch lines with a chalk pencil and fasten the materials in pairs. /Cotton filler for quilts is a wonderful material, but you can also replace it with a thin padding polyester, if it is at hand./
We scribble along the marked lines, as the soul likes and the machine allows.
Stage 4: We connect, adjust, sew (we left 1 cm on each side as an allowance!), Leaving a distance unsewn, convenient for further immersion of the pillow in the cover, cut the corners.
Home is a place where you need to return with pleasure. To do this, we equip it to our liking, create our own small world. Décor is an integral part of a comfortable home, and even more fun is the decorations created by with my own hands. Today we will look at .
It's about a simple sofa cushion square shape. In addition to the pillow itself stuffed with holofiber, we will show in detail how sew a pillowcase.
For the inside of the pillow, we need:
For the pillowcase, prepare:
To be honest, this pillow was assembled from materials that lay in the "what's left" basket. Those. I didn’t pick up fabric on purpose, but sewed from what I already had, and what I wanted to realize at least into something, so in the process of sewing I ran into some difficulties that I had to solve on the go.
So, inner part pillows. We take a rectangle of fabric 45x70 cm and fold it in half, thereby allowing ourselves not to sew one side. From one edge, we sew two halves, stepping back from the fold 1/3 of the length. We sew to this very fold. Then, stepping back from the 2/3 fold, we sew the entire pillow along the contour. Thus, we leave ourselves a hole for stuffing. I like it when my fist passes freely into the opening of the bag, with the expectation that the filler will be clamped in it. Pushing stuffing through a small hole is a dubious pleasure.
As for stuffing - I tried different variants. The most frequent, which, unfortunately, the majority uses is stuffing with padding polyester. I don't like it for two reasons:
- a synthetic winterizer soars (although this is not critical for a sofa cushion);
- he's sagging. Those. after a while, the pillow will lose its elastic appearance and become more like a bedding. Even stuffing with a “pyramid” does not help (folding layers of synthetic winterizer of different sizes on top of each other from larger to smaller to the center and from smaller to larger to the top)
Therefore, I prefer holofiber. It is a pellet of approximately the same size, does not crumble, even if thrown, which shows a good connection between the internal fibers. At the same time, each spool is easy to separate from its neighbor, which allows you to adjust the amount of stuffing. We can buy by weight any required amount or order on a specialized website.
The fabric for the inner pillow came across to me frankly bad, it was very fraying around the edges. I had to sew it in three stages:
- straight line along the contour;
- zigzag over a straight stitch;
- overlock the edge.
There were attempts to overlock the edges of the fabric separately, but they fell along with the overlock threads. On two layers of fabric, everything kept perfectly. Therefore, it turns out that the edges of the fabric in the place of the hole are not overlocked. Be careful with them.
After we have a bag on our hands, we turn it inside out and start stuffing it, after straightening the corners from the inside.
After you have reached the desired density in the stuffing, we sew up the hole by hand.
The inner pillow is ready.
We will sew a pillowcase from two squares and a snake. The red fabric is overlocked at the edges, the leatherette square is not.
The snake can be of any length, the main thing is that it is longer than the side of the square. I had one meter-long snake with two dogs, which I divided into two.
We sew the snake to one square, putting them face to face. We sew the snake with a one-sided foot. Take care of your fingers!
Then, in the same way, we sew the second square, we get a snake between the two edges of the pillowcase.
We begin to sew up the contours of the pillowcase. I started from one corner and went to the snake. Having separated the two sides of the snake as in the photo, we wrap it, as it were, inside. If you do not open the snake, you will get a dog outside and you will have to rip it apart, there are no other options.
Sew slowly and carefully. Wear construction or other protective goggles, especially if you have a metal snake. A piece of needle flying off in the face is a dangerous business.
We repeat the same on the other side. We also fold the snake.
Sew up the bottom of the pillowcase.
We twist, measure the already finished and stuffed pillow. She shouldn't walk around in a pillowcase. The sofa cushion is usually rigid, there is no room for unfilled corners in it. If the pillowcase turned out to be larger - we turn it inside out, measure how much it needs to be taken in, mark with chalk. Remove the pillowcase from the pillow and sew, evenly on each side
We measure again after straightening the corners. To better stretch the corners, it is best to use a large, hard needle.
Our pillow is ready.
Search the internet for design ideas sofa cushions. They don't have to be all identical, even on the same couch.
This is what our pillow looks like from the leatherette side:

Such pleasant trifles as pillows for a sofa can give a special comfort to the home environment, decorate the room, properly arrange bright accents and become a great decoration. The design of the products allows you to place them anywhere: on the sofa, armchairs, even on the floor. You can choose to have custom-made sofa cushions, but it's much nicer and cheaper to try sewing them yourself.
Sofa cushions will make any home inviting. With this decorative element, you can not only decorate your home, but also please loved ones with a stylish and original gift. Creating such a surprise with your own hands is not so difficult. All that is needed, except for materials and tools, is a little perseverance, imagination, a desire to make beautiful thing. A master class on sewing cushions for a sofa will help you do it right, neatly.
A set of pillows in several sizes will look stylish: small, medium and large. All these options fit perfectly into the interior of one room. Products are considered small if the side size or diameter is 30-40 cm, the average size- 40-70 cm, large - 70 or more centimeters.
Sofa cushions are different. One of the most popular types is the "dumka". This ordinary pillow has a square, round and rectangular shape, has small dimensions: edges from twenty to forty centimeters. It can be used as a soft padding on the seat of a chair or against the back. A modern thought can be of absolutely any kind - from classical to form. fairy tale characters, animals, bottles, transport.
The classic shape of the dumka is square, round, rectangular. But there are other, unusual and interesting options:
The sofa cushion should be soft, pleasant to the touch. The filler is important. In addition to comfort, you need to consider its hypoallergenic properties. When choosing the filling of an accessory, you immediately need to exclude old fabric items or cotton wool. These materials get knocked down over time, form hard lumps. Best Options: synthetic winterizer, fibertek, foam rubber, holofiber, down. foam or synthetic filler pillows are characterized by the absence of allergic properties, softness.
The first step in tailoring a dumochka is the choice of fabric. The material must be durable. Beginners are advised to choose simpler fabrics, such as chintz, cotton. In the manufacture of pillows, fabrics such as silk, linen, felt, denim, calico, baize, and upholstery are often used. Sometimes to create knitted pillows an old knitted sweater, a voluminous pullover is used. The most important thing is that the colors of the material are durable, the surface is dense and does not allow the filler to fall out.
Each type of fabric used has its pros and cons:
Thicker fabrics have their own characteristics. These include firth, jeans, bike.
When sewing decorative pillows you can combine fabrics: for example, one part is made of silk, the other is made of felt, resulting in a “winter-summer” option. Inserts from several types of fabric look beautiful. If the material has become unusable, there is no need to rush to throw away the idea - the sewn colored patch will not spoil appearance. Give a zest to the furniture of the thought different sizes from colored upholstery fabric.
To decorate ready-made pillows for furniture, you can choose any decorations you like. Various accessories, appliqué, embroidery will look great. It looks interesting thought in the style of "patchwork", sewn from knitted things. The finished dumka is decorated with soft decorative elements: braid, flap, ribbon, less often zippers, beads, buttons are used.
The design of the product is carried out by any means. The most common decoration options:
If an experienced needlewoman is able to sew a pillow without much difficulty, then beginners need to know the principles and sequence of work. The first thing to do is prepare everything you need to work. Beautiful sofa cushions are made in two stages:
First you need to prepare a set necessary tools and materials:
When all the materials and tools are collected, the idea of \u200b\u200ba pillow for the sofa is ready, you need to move on to the sewing process.
To sew pillowcases for sofa cushions from the fabric that will be outside, you need to cut out square pieces a little bigger size. The base was 45x45 cm, which means that the removable cover is 46x46 centimeters. A case that is too small will not fit over a stuffed bag or make it hard. It is best to cut out the main details (sides of sofa cushions) from different fabrics: a pattern, texture on one side will make it front, simpler material on the other - wrong side. Do not forget to leave seam allowances of 1-1.5 cm.
The sequence of making a pillowcase is similar to the process of working on a pillowcase:
After the product is turned on the front side, the corners are additionally formed. This is done with a needle: the fabric is gently pulled to the desired sharpness of the angle:
At the stage of sewing a pillowcase, it can be decorated with braid, scallops, a combined cover, borders, buttons, etc. When deciding on the decor, the first thing you need to pay attention to is the quality, the color of the threads. They must be ideal not only for color scheme, but also in density, thickness. For example, denim, raincoat fabric involves the use of threads No. 40 (for finishing seams, dense fabrics), calico, flannel, bike - No. 60 (for linen and light materials), silk, cambric, chintz - No. 80 (for thin fabrics) .
Decorative braid is sewn to the pillowcase from the front side before stitching the 4th side and putting on the cover on the breastplate. This is done manually:
For finishing with borders, squares are cut out with a large margin. The stock width is equal to the width of the borders plus 2 cm for seam allowances:
A pillow with scallops is made according to a different principle. Festoon is decorative element, an ornamental strip with a downward-facing pattern in the form of leaves, flowers, stepped teeth, waves. First, all the details are made, then they are assembled together. Fabric scallops are jagged, rectangular, rounded. Solid or contrasting fabrics are used. You will need material for finishing (scallops), bases (squares for covers), a zipper, a compass or a glass to draw the edges, a regular sewing kit.
Work begins with marking the details:
After that, he proceeds to processing and grinding the edges of the scallops:
Each square is sewn on the front side from 3 sides. Further, the process is normal: a pillow is inserted inside. The fabric is leveled, the corners are straightened. The fourth side can be sewn with a machine immediately on top. But it is better to insert a zipper into it first. The fastener may not necessarily be sewn around the perimeter, sometimes it is sewn directly into the square.

Sewing tools

natural fabrics
But it is not at all necessary to immediately run to the fabric store, sometimes brilliant ideas can be found without leaving home. Feel sorry for throwing away an old worn sweater or a favorite shirt that is torn? Is there a way to make them original pillow. Old clothes, jeans, scraps of fabric are great materials for this.
Needlewomen who know how to knit and embroider do not have to worry about the design of their creation at all - such covers will be the warmest and brightest.

Pillow fillers
You can also use fur or pieces of fabric for stuffing. Especially if the pillow is not even in shape, large in volume and made of coarse material.
Separately, we can say about silicone granules. Not only do they not get wet, they are easy to wash, they fall asleep through a small pillowcase opening, pillows with such a filler can be called anti-stress. Touching them relaxes and provides a carefree sleep.
Feather pillow
Not the most difficult task to sew a pillowcase is to make a pattern right size plus leave a few centimeters for the hem, sew two canvases from the wrong side and turn them on the front. Of great concern last seam, which we need to flash from the front side after stuffing.The best solution would be a sewn-in zipper.
There will be no problems with knitted, knitted and lace products at all - the last seam will be invisible. In an original way, you can mask the last seam with a narrow or wide edging to match the product. You can embroider a border around the edges, and close the seam with the same threads.
It is ideal to leave a hole of 4-5 cm on the front side, through which to fill the prepared cover with sintepuh or silicone granules.
Pillowcase with zipper
Just be sure to make sure that the filler is not enough. Very often, the corners of the base are not packed tightly enough, as a result of which they sag and the aesthetic appearance of the product is lost.
