Taught by Heather Bailey
In this colorful class, Heather teaches you how to make a fun patchwork throw pillow using a mix of fabrics from her True Colors collection with FreeSpirit. Heather not only shows you how to piece together the front and back of this round, tufted pillow, but also how to make your own piping and fabric-covered buttons from scratch. The real magic happens once the pillow is stuffed and buttons are added to the center, pulling the fabric taut while creating the plush, tufted effect. The end result is a modern take on a classic retro design, sure to add a little flair to your home décor.
