bird and leaf pillow

I have been experimenting with my Silhouette more and more lately and just end up loving it more and more each time! 

There are SO many possibilities with it!

For this project I used their FLOCKED HEAT TRANSFER material to make this darling 
Bird and leaf pillow!

{sitting all nice and comfy next to my MaDahms pillow}

I mean how cute!! ;)

SOOOO there is DOUBLE good news for you on this one ;) 

I am not only going to TEACH you how to make your own but this darling PILLOW will soon be in my ETSY shop as well for all you "I'll just buy it" types ;) 

The how to :

**If you don't know how to use or design an image with SILHOUETTE for the HEAT TRANSFER MATERIAL please go HERE to see a tutorial on how to do that!**

After you have your heat transfer material on your fabric {using THIS tutorial} 

you'll need to make the "leaves"

 I grabbed a few different scraps of fabric that I like and coordinated

 I used the plastic backing that I peeled away from my heat transfer

and cut out the leaves that were already in place

I used the plastic as a template for my fabric

 I placed the fabric flowers over the original leaves in the design

 To ensure they didn't move around while sewing them I used a iron transfer paper to keep the leaves in place

Now Stitch around each leaf to secure it
I did a different design and stitch on each leaf to give it some texture!

 and that's it your done! 

a DARLING Bird and Leaf pillow!
