I like sitting on the floor and my children do too, so this week's project is a floor pillow! They can be very expensive in stores. However, the most expensive item if you’re making it yourself is the filling. If you have a fabric stash and some cord, the rest will cost you close to nothing. Just reserve one afternoon of sewing me-time!

Use a nice upholstery fabric if you want a long lasting pillow, I used a medium weight cotton, so I know I’m taking a risk here :-)

Fabric needs: For a 22” circle, you need one 7 by 69 inch strip for the side panel, and 2 piping/cording strips of 1.5 inch by 69 inch each.
If you want to make a pillow in another dimension, decide the diameter first. To figure out the length, the side panel, and the piping strips, you need to calculate the circumference of the circle: the diameter of the circle x 3.14 (π).

    I’m making a little stool and wanted to create an upholstered cushion for it and this video helped me immensely! Thank you!

    Love the video. I love the idea you made it a simple video and not the extra life storytelling tutorials.

    First sewing project with my new sewing machine! Turned out looking more like a dog bed( I made mine a little bit bigger) but nonetheless super easy ! Thank you!

    Thank you. This is not coming along sew quickly by hand, but thank you for the pattern madam.🍒

    I was hoping you were going to put a zipper on the side panel, for easy cleaning later. But due to the filling you used, I don't think it would've been wise to pull out the stuffing to launder it. I'm using foam for the inside of mine - so I'll want to put a zipper on it. Nice video though

    How much seam allowance are you using when you attach the piping to the piece of material?
