Currently, embroidery on pillows is againis becoming popular, and therefore we want to tell you about how you can make wonderful embroidered sofa cushions with your own hands. As a rule, cross-stitching a pillow does not take much time for an experienced craftswoman, but for beginning needlewomen we would still recommend simpler patterns with which they can easily and quickly decorate their home.

Cross-stitch embroidery of patterns or drawings on the pillow

Our small master class is designed in the firstThe queue for beginners, so we will not describe the embroidery of a complex scheme, but let's take as an example an ordinary heart and embroider such a pretty image on a cushion. But, before starting to work, we advise you to prepare everything you need. You will need:

Paper in a box with a printed color image (in our case, the image is monophonic, so a black-and-white scheme will suit us);
Pins;
pillow;
Knitting threads of the right colors (only the red ones are needed for the chosen drawing).

Let's get to work!
First, take the paper you printed on.your diagram and carefully pin it to the pillow. In order for the embroidery of the pillow to be even and beautiful, you need to make sure that the sheet lies evenly and does not puff up anywhere. Once you are sure of this, you can get to work.

Usually, cross stitching pillows takes quite a lot of time, but since the image we have chosen is very simple, you will complete this task quite quickly.

When the embroidery of the pillow is finished, you will need to remove the now unnecessary paper. You can carefully trim the edges with scissors, but you will have to “clean” the middle by hand.

As a result, you should get such a wonderful cross-stitched pillow.

As you yourself have probably already noticed,Embroidering pillows is not always a troublesome and painstaking task. Even the most ordinary drawing will help you decorate sofa cushions, which will subsequently “revive” your interior and bring fresh “notes” to it.

First you need to make markings on black fabric. In this case, you should get a neat grid consisting of squares, each side of which is 1 cm.

Then, stepping back 2 cm from each edge, you will need to make small holes at the intersection of all lines using a hole punch:

We don't need an embroidery pattern, since weWe will embroider 2 large English letters: “Hi”. To make the embroidered pillows brighter and more unusual, we chose yellow threads that will go well with the black base.

After we finish working on the embroidery, we will need to attach the base to the green fabric and cut out 2 parts according to its size.
Then all we have to do is sew all three parts and fill the pad with padding polyester.
