Cutter Owl Die (AQ55333) Owl accessory die (AQ55675) Zipper Iron on adhesive appliqué sheet (20cm x 20cm) Cutting Place your shirt flat on a table or hard surface. Using your existing pillowcase position the case on top of your shirt until you are happy with the placement. We used the buttons as the closure for the back. (Optional) Using chalk, trace your pillowcase onto the shirt. Cut out around the pillowcase or chalk lines. Using your seam ripper, remove the remaining pockets. Optional Appliqué Using your other shirts, place them on top of the die and send through cutter. Iron your owl pieces onto your applique sheet. Ensuring that the correct side is facing up and the wrong side is being ironed. Cut excess applique sheet around your owl pieces. Remove backing and place on top of a pillow on the side without the buttons. When happy with the placement, iron to keep it in place. Set your machine up for satin stitch, trace your owl to secure it to the fabric. On button side, stitch layers shut about 4.5cm in from the seam allowance, stitching the entire width of the button placket. Place layers right sides together, ensuring that buttons are going horizontal and the owl is vertical. Stitch around the outside of the square pillow. Clip corners. Overlock and turn pillowcase out and insert your pillow. Congratulations on finishing your memory pillow! #Applique #pillow cover #Projects #Singerco-Australia Facebook Email Print X Pinterest
