How to make a bunting pillow cover

Welcome to Transformation Thursday! It’s the one day of the week we all get together to celebrate getting stuff done. No matter if you’ve been coming around for months (or years), or this is your very first transformation rodeo – everyone is welcome to link up your projects at the bottom of this post.

I shared this project on 3 Sunkissed Boys a few weeks ago -

but thought I'd share it here, too :)

I'm a sucker for a cute pillow, and I adore buntings, so I combined them together for a cute little bunting pillow cover. Wanna learn how to make one?

You'll need:
 two pieces of canvas cut into 17x17 inch squares
5 or 6 different fabrics - cut into 2 inch triangles - it will take 12-18, depending on how full you want it
a zipper
a pencil
a sewing machine
accent color thread and white thread

Let's get started. First draw your lines on the pillow lightly with a pencil or fabric marker. This will be the draping of the bunting. I used three swooping lines for the shape of my bunting.

Next take your triangles and space them out like you want, using the line as the guide for the straight top edge. If you want these to fray use them as is. If you want them to stay together use iron on fusible webbing on the back.

I stitched mine around all three sides of the triangles. You can use white thread or color coordinating thread to sew them down.

It looks a little crazy now, but we're not quite finished!

Next take your coordinating thread and carefully run a tight zig zag stitch over all of the pencil lines.

Now your pillow cover front is finished.
Just sew it up with the instructions found in my zipper tutorial.

And then you're finished - yay!
This cover can be made in so many color variations, the sky is the limit :)


Don't have time to make your own? I've got you covered! {haha! covered... get it?}
