April 25, 2013 by Anne Weaver

origamipillowCheck out the cool texture on this throw pillow created by Dear Emmeline! The design is absolutely stunning, with a combination of felt and fabric squares carefully folded and stitched into a grid and X pattern, giving the pillow a tactile, modern look. It’s the kind of project that transforms a simple pillow into a piece of art, adding both depth and visual interest to any room.

What makes this project even more exciting is the clever use of materials. The contrast between the soft felt and the vibrant fabric squares creates a unique texture that will catch your eye, making it a standout addition to your home decor. The grid and X pattern offers a structured yet cozy vibe, perfect for adding a touch of handmade charm to your living space.

Dear Emmeline has generously shared a step-by-step tutorial on how she created this pillow, so you can easily recreate the same look for yourself! Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a beginner looking to try something new, her instructions are clear and easy to follow. You’ll learn how to fold and stitch the fabric and felt pieces together to achieve that gorgeous, intricate design. The pattern is simple yet impactful, giving you a lot of room to customize the colors and fabrics to fit your personal style.

This pillow would make an excellent gift for housewarmings, birthdays, or any occasion where you want to impress someone with your creativity. It’s also a fun way to add a cozy, handmade touch to your own space without breaking the bank.

So, if you’re looking to create something truly special for your home, head over to Dear Emmeline’s blog and check out the full tutorial. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to transform simple fabric squares into a beautiful, textured pillow. Click here to go to the tutorial and start stitching!.  Go to her blog for the tute.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
