Christmas Tree Pillow
Christmas Tree Pillow
I received some lovely corduroy from a friend. This fun project made great use of the leftover corduroy fabric, but you could use any fabric of your choice.

What you do
Using the pattern as a guide, cut the pieces out of the fabric. If using corduroy, be prepared for a mess since it sheds and frays easily. I kept my lint roller on stand-by.
Pin the pieces in place on the pillow fabric and, since corduroy does shed, used a satin stitch in matching thread to attach to the fabric. If I was using a non-fraying fabric, I probably would've used a blind or blanket stitch by hand.
Once all the pieces were attached, I sewed on some buttons I had laying around as ornaments. Sew the front and back sides of the pillow with wrong sides together, turn, stuff, and finish.
