These basic pillows offer ways to embellish the front panel of the pillows and the edges with piping and ruffles.
Edging Pillows
Once you've learned the basics of sewing a pillow, start experimenting with the various edge effects that can be added to the side seams. Add more than one ruffle by varying the sizes of the ruffles. Add Piping to accentuate the front and a ruffle to soften the edges. You're the designer!
Embellishing Pillow Fronts
If a pillow has four side seams you can embellish a pillow front. Pillow fronts are a great place to experiment with new techniques. What's the worst thing that could happen? You can always start again with just a pillow front and the rest of the pillow is unharmed by your experiments!
