I want to make a pillow out of something i cross stitch but i don't know how, did you get a kit?

I haven't got the patience for cross-stitch. My mum used to do it all the time, but it hurt her back/eyes so she's quit. D: I still have the first thing she cross-stitched in a frame in my room though lol.

I have account on Solia... cannot resist the prettiness. But really have no time or urge for the community.
I haven't delve deep enough, so I withold my comments regarding that.

I don't understand the point either.

Find a small pillow form.
Use that as a guide.
Cut one piece of material a tad bit bigger (to make room for the seam allowance).

Then cut two more pieces for the back...so they overlap a couple of inches.

Go look at a pillow sham in a store. You can easily do it like that.

no. but its easy. you first do the cross stitching part right. and then you take some fabric you want to make the rest of the pillow with and you cut it to be just a bit bigger then the size of your cross stitching. then you sew most the way around, fill the pillow... outside faces facing in, then turn it inside out... so the outside is now out, fill it with stuffing, and then sew the last little bit and presto! you have a pillow!

another way to do it is to sew a pillow and then sew your cross stitching on one side.... or buy a pillow... lol.. or hot glue it on... lol... with some trim it would look good. i might do that actually... save some time...

What is a pillow form? and why do you need two pieces for the back?

*streaks madly*

I think everybody who gets 1k posts in this thread should get 1k.

Did someone just streak through this thread or did mine eyes deceive me?

Yes, DJ is a streaker >.>'

Ah, fair enough. Just making sure I'm not going mad! xD
