2-hour pillow making workshop: supply list

sign-up and see photos on the 2-hour pillow making workshop page.

  • square pillow form. down-filled forms are especially nice! (if you don’t want to shop for one, just bring a yard of fabric and you can get a form after the class.)
  • when you make a pillow, the cover is cut to the same dimensions as the form, but an envelope closure back requires extra yardage. to be safe, buy enough fabric to cover your entire pillow 2 times (e.g. 16 x 16 pillow, calls for a 32 x 32 piece of fabric, so get a yard.)
    feel free to buy muslin if you just want to practice the first time around. the back and front can also be made from different fabrics if you’d like!
  • recommended fabrics: cotton and cotton blends in a medium weight are the easiest to cut, press and sew. stay away from fun furs, velvet, stretch fabrics and heavy weight upholstery. please feel free to contact us for advice!
  • all-purpose thread to match your fabric
  • scissors, either new or used only on fabric
  • pins
  • pin cushion
  • seam ripper
  • disappearing or wash-out fabric ink pen
  • optional supplies:
    • clear plastic 18″ ruler
    • magnetic seam guide
