SEW WITH ME VLOG- SEWING SHIBORI PILLOWS

I love to make shibori pillows. I have a selection of premade pillows and then many are made to order. I think they are a great way to give a modern fun lift to your sofa or bedroom. I made a sew with me vlog to give you a little behinds the scenes peak of me in action.

Quilted Indigo Tie Dye Shibori Wall Hanging- Custom Home Decor

I was so excited when I was asked to make this large scale wall hanging! My friend bought an apartment and wanted a big shibori piece for her living room. I was given a lot of artistic freedom, which was so awesome! I was honored that she asked me and I was excited to do some quilting!

Denim Scrap Patchwork Pillow Tutorial for Fabrscrap

I sewed all the scraps together in strip patterns and then arranged them in a pleasing composition. I played for a while with the color blocks of light and dark shades making sure that the led the eye around the whole pillow. There's no wrong way to do it, but I think the composition is my favorite element of the "crazy quilt".

I pinned them down on a 21x21" piece of dark wash denim and then stitched them down like an applique. I've included some photos of my process here. I also taught a workshop for FABSCRAP on how to make it. I've uploaded the class video on my YouTube channel.
