Follow this quick pillow pattern tutorial:
- Print the egg template —> download and cut out the template, trace onto iron on adhesive, and iron it onto your fabric.
- Once cool enough, cut out the egg and peel the backing off.
- Place egg onto your pillow fabric (see my free pillowcase tutorial HERE) and iron it on.
- Fold under the beginning of the rickrack trim 3/8″ and pin to the egg’s edge, starting at the top. Choose freely where to pin it. Don’t cut the trim, just continue covering the egg and pinning to the side each time you reach it. Use several colors if you prefer and intertwine the trim.
- TIP: you can add trim to the perimeter of the egg if preferred. I opted to omit it though.
- This is how the trim looks without the perimeter trim.
- Start sewing the trim’s edges on around the egg’s perimeter with a wide and close zigzag stitch. Then across each trim that covers the egg. If you chose to add the perimeter trim, pin it to the egg’s perimeter and sew it on as well.
- All done! Find a pretty spot in your home or on the porch and enjoy yourself some Easter spring time!
