How To Make A Rag Pillow
"Pillows are a perfect for learning a new sewing skill. They’re small & quick to make. As a quilter, I love making pillows to try new quilt idea. This rag pillow project is all about the surface texture that seems to be so popular in interior design boutiques. You’ll love the super simple rag seam technique that makes finishing this pillow a breeze. This is a very simple pillow to make that you can finish in an afternoon. Simply sew narrow fabric strips onto your pillow to create the frayed design. Once you begin to sew, you’ll be surprised how quickly you’ll be finished!"
