Hi There! It's Daniel and Valeria from Hindsvik Shop with our weekly Tuesday guest post! We're always finding vintage home decor pieces to stock in our shop and have recently encountered some great vintage fabric that we wanted to use in our own home! And what better way than in pillow form!
Today we'll be showing you how to make a "No-Sew" pillow with vintage (or any) fabric in 8 easy steps!


Here's what you'll need:
-Pillow Cushion
-Fabric (lightweight fabrics and cottons work best)
-Scissors
-Fusible Bonding Tape
-Adhesive Velcro
-Iron

Measure your cushion and cut fabric leaving at least 2 inches extra on each side. To make things easier, cut only one piece instead of two squares.




Add Fusible Bonding Tape to the inside like before until pillow is sealed all the way around except an opening in the middle. This is where you'll create a velcro opening for your cushion!
Create a hem for your opening by placing Fusible Bonding Tape on the inside of the lip, ironing for 2-3 seconds, then peeling off the paper.


Now insert the cushion and you've got yourself an easy, "No-Sew" pillow that anyone can make! Once you know how to use the ironing technique, the possibilities are endless with what you can create! Pillows, curtains and home textiles with any design! You can also easy add embellishments, trim or ribbon with this iron-on method!
Happy Crafting and we'll see you next Tuesday!

what's wrong with sewing?
Anon - : ) um nothing, unless you don't own a sewing machine, maybe?
thanks for the clear instructions - great project! i'm looking for a good pressing iron - do you like yours, and if so what brand is it?
Hi Shirlotta!
It's a vintage iron and the brand name is Vornado. Hope that helps :)
Thanks for these instructions. I'm not a sewer but have just moved and need a few cushions to liven up my decor. I'm adding a link to this from my own site.
Great tutorial for sure! I just had to link this to my no sew pillows post too, great project!
