Each one will have a different amount of texture, from smooth to more texture. You can also simply use the fabric of a drop cloth! You can find them at Lowes, Home Depot and other hardware type stores. <br /><br />If you want it whiter, then you can use a bleached cotton.

Because of their weight, you can use a small safety pin on the inside of the pillow and then do a some hidden hand stitching under the flower to sew it to the pillow cover. <br /><br />I often just use the safety pins alone, sometimes 1-3 very small ones per flower so that I can take the flower off if I need to wash the cover. These pillows get very little wear and tear, so I have not needed to wash them. <br /><br />I'm so happy to hear that your pillow is coming along so beautifully!Donna, The Decorated Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772637069933752736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490180327385502642.post-41745699912790559962014-05-22T11:48:50.347-04:002014-05-22T11:48:50.347-04:00Hi, I LOVE this its beautiful am trying to recreat...Hi, I LOVE this its beautiful am trying to recreate it and have made some lovely flowers and have made my cushion cover but am struggling to figure out how to sew them together securely! Hand sewing doesnt feel strong enough and if you over sew it starts to look bad. How did you do them? Any advice would be great as im just starting out with this sewing lark :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17932646128415448562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490180327385502642.post-73452113318044307322014-01-15T17:36:24.634-05:002014-01-15T17:36:24.634-05:00The heart is adhered to the pillow front with fabr...The heart is adhered to the pillow front with fabric glue.

While your inspiration is pretty, I think the PB monogram looks off balance due to one too many flowers in the upper left corner. I really like the fabric you used. It looks like my favorite Osnaberg fabric.Kathy @ Creative Home Expressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341667486449125153noreply@blogger.com
