Embroidery Pillow Design


After I fished the designs it was time to sew it onto the fabric.  I hand embroidery the flower with different stitches and color thread.  I enjoyed this step and it was fun to see the pillow transform from plane white to a beautiful flower design.  I will post the case in the pillow soon.  There is a little surprise yet to come that I still have to add to the pillow.  What do you think?

Flower Color Swatches


I have been working on pillow case designs.  Here are the colors I choose for my flower pillow case.  I was going for young, modern, with a vintage feel.  I wanted the colors to pop on the fabric.  What do you think?

Sketch Pattern



After finding images and colors that I enjoyed I looked up photos of different types of flowers.  From those photos I drew out the flowers.  Above are my drawing of the flowers.  I arranges them on paper that is the same size of the pillow case.  I used this drawing as my pattern for the pillow case.  Coming soon are the colors I choose and the finale product.
