  • Bolster Pillow
    Bolster Pillow This project will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to create a bolster pillow similar to the one shown above. This pillow can be used as a great throw pillow or a support pillow for your back. It is recommended that you have Let’s Sew: A Beginner’s Sewing Guide by Nancy Zieman or another basic sewing book nearby for reference. This project is intended for beginning sewers. Have fun and be safe! Written by Ryan Lindell, Aaron Paquette, Jason Phillips, and Andrew Wirick Materials • Two good-quality kitchen towels, preferably fringed (hemmed ends can be used as well) • Needle and matching thread (doubled thread, buttonhole twist, even dental floss!) • Terry cloth scraps, small bolster pillow form, cotton fiberfill or batting • Sewing pins with colored heads and pin cushion • Sewing machine • Iron • Ironing board Special Notes • Be sure that your towels are preshrunk before you start. Do this by washing the towels. • In order for your project to look its best, be sure to press each line of stitching as it is completed. For instructions on proper pressing, consult your beginner’s sewing guide. • Although any of the fillings mentioned above will work, the pillow will look best by using bolster pillow form. See the note in step number 10 on how to use bolster form correctly. • Any sewing terminology used during these instructions will be in bold lettering and highlighted in blue. These terms will be defined at the bottom of each page. For example, on this page, the word hemmed is defined below.

Duvet covers are popular for a variety of reasons. They can act as a cover for an expensive down comforter or can conceal an inexpensive fiber filled coverlet. A duvet cover can be constructed using a decorative fab- ric that will require dry cleaning or a washable fabric that can be thrown in a standard washer and dryer for cleaning. A duvet cover can be easily changed to meet the desired décor. (Hint: If you plan to wash your bedding, choose only washable fabrics.) Duvet covers do not require measuring.
