Tutorial: Mad for Plaid throw pillow set, plus templates

Jess from The Sewing Rabbit made a set of coordinating throw pillows in holiday-licous plaids. They’re a mix of traditional and modern, with a classic plaid accented with modern graphics. She shares a tutorial and templates so you can make them, too. She shares the basic square pillow tutorial, a pillow tied with a plaid scarf, a deer pillow, and a pillow stenciled with PLAID#. Make just one, or the whole set. (I know I’d choose the whole set…)
