Instructions

Start by cutting the pieces. You’ll need one square 17” x 17” and two rectangles each 17” x 12”.

cut-pieces

Take the two rectangles to the ironing board. Fold down ½” along one of the 17” sides, and press. Fold down again and press. Repeat with the other rectangle.

fold-down

Stitch down the folded edge to secure. These pieces will become the back of the pillow.

You can print out images of stars and trace them, or free-hand draw stars. Draw them onto the paper side of the Hotmelt adhesive. Then cut them out.

Place the stars on the large square of fabric. Arrange them however you like, then fuse down according to the package directions.

Once the foil has cooled, peel off the foil backing. The front is complete.

Pin the backing pieces to the front of the pillow, the pillow front should have the stars up. The two finished edges of the backing pieces should be overlapping in the middle.

Stitch around all four sides of the pillow, using a ¼” seam allowance.

Clip off the extra fabric at the corners to reduce the bulk.
