Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Step 1: Patterning

    • Draw and Cut the Pattern: Draw a square on the Leopard Cheetah Long Pile Faux Fur. Cut out the pattern, leaving a small allowance outside the pattern lines. Use this cut-out as a template to make a second identical piece.

  2. Step 2: Assemble the Pillow

    • Align and Clip: Align the two square patterns with the fur pile going in the same direction. Clip them together, leaving a small opening for stuffing.
    • Sew the Edges: Straight stitch around the square pattern, ensuring not to stitch the opening. After stitching, flip the fabric inside out through the opening.

  3. Step 3: Stuffing the Pillow

    • Fill with Poly Fill: Stuff the pillow with Poly Fill through the opening until it reaches your desired firmness.
    • Close the Opening: Pin the opening closed and stitch it shut.

  4. Step 4: Creating a Suede Pillow

    • Patterning for Suede Pillow: Repeat Step 1 with the Suede Microfiber Fabric, but this time create a rectangular shape (or any shape you desire).
    • Assemble and Stuff: Follow Steps 2 and 3 for the suede pillow, ensuring to leave an opening for stuffing, filling it with Poly Fill, and closing it after.
