{ vintage, rustic ring bearer pillow }

In the last minutes of preparing for my sisters

wedding, I threw together a simple ring bearer pillow.

We intended on using burlap but found this lovely

weaved fabric. Reminds me of an old blanket.

 

What you'll need:

* fabric for the pillow

* fabric for the heart

* tulle

* ribbon

* jute

* sewing machine and thread

 

Cut two 9" squares from your pillow fabric.

Set back piece aside.

 

Cut out 4 pieces of tulle measuring

5x4 inches.

 

Cut out one heart from coordinating fabric

approximately 4x3 inches.

Pin heart, tulle and front piece of pillow fabric

together in that order.

 

Sew around the outside of the heart.

Remove pins.

 

Sew jute and ribbon to  the center of the heart

with a zigzag stitch.

 

Now sew the back pillow fabric to the front

pillow fabric with a 1 inch seam.

Wrong sides together.

Be careful not to sew the ribbon and jute into your

seam. Leave a 3-4 inch opening for stuffing the pillow.

 

Stuff the pillow.

 

Sew opening closed.

 

I had a fun time taking pictures of this one!

 

Enjoy!
