- DIY Fringed Throw Pillow Tutorial By Renee Romeo
I will show you how to make a throw pillow with fringe.
Would you love to know how to make a throw pillow with fringe for your bed or sofa? You can easily make one for yourself! I will show you how easy it is to make a custom throw pillow for your bed or sofa and achieve professional results. This video contains all the tips and tricks for your success. You can be a beginner sewer and make a pillow that looks like you bought it from a designer. In fact, I sold many pillows like this to many of my clients when I had my design business. If you make a pillow like this, it won’t be nearly as expensive but look exactly the same.
Why bother when there are so many pretty pillows in the store?
I buy throw pillows from the store too but only when there is something so special about the fabric or trim that I don’t think I can find and duplicate. The great thing about making a throw pillow with fringe is that you can CUSTOMIZE it to your decor. I can make a pillow like this in any size imaginable, for any purpose imaginable. There are thousands of choices and combinations that will fit into your room perfectly, without having to compromise on size or style. Brush fringe is the perfect addition to the design of the fabric that I’m using because it is multi-colored to blend with all the fabric colors, softens the square edges nicely and gives the pillow a more romantic touch.
The pillows that I’m making in this video are being used as decorative bed pillows, as a backdrop for smaller pillows. They are very comfortable to lay on because I chose the right pillow form. I will show you how to choose the correct size form for your pillow, regardless of size. Follow my tips and you can make comfortable and professional looking pillows too.

I have learned so much fabulous information from you through the years.
Thank you
You're very sweet, Diana! I'm still doing projects, I just haven't filmed much lately. I just finished gutting and remodeling two bathrooms and am now on to reupholstering chairs. Covid pretty much took took the wind out of my sails for producing videos. I'm trying to find my way back! Thanks for watching! I truly appreciate it, Renee
I just made a cushion with a zip and a fringe. Not perfect but I love it. Thanks.
Wonderful teacher. Beautifully done video. TY!!
Sherri, Thank you for the kind words! Merry Christmas and happy sewing, Renee
Thanks a mil for your comprehensive, caring tutorials!! I live miles and miles away in South Africa and sew a lot of home dec! I am very grateful to you for sharing your knowledge and experience! Thank you!!
Hi Joan, South Africa!! My Dad travelled there a few years ago for a weightlifting event. It was 27 hours of plane travel. You are very far away but thankfully UA-cam makes the miles disappear! I love to sew and I'm self taught so I'm sharing all the things that I've learned over the years to make projects turn out looking professional. I'm so happy that you found me. If you're looking for more information, please go to my website - reneeromeo.com - and look under my SEWING and REUPHOLSTERY playlists for more content. Thanks for reaching out! All the best to you, Renee
Renee, you are so encouraging to watch. Now I think I can achieve better results on my fringed throw pillows. I can hardly wait to watch more of your works...
Rina, Thank you!! I made the duvet cover on the bed too. I never find bedding in the stores that has beautiful fabric - well, at the price I'm willing to pay! I've made duvet covers for all the beds in my home and pillows to match. I know that a large project seems intimidating but when you break it down into smaller parts, it's easy to accomplish. And... you'll get gorgeous results. If you're interested, here is the video: reneeromeo.com/2017/03/18/how-to-make-and-sew-aduvet-cover/
Happy sewing, Renee
Love, love, love this tutorial, I'm so glad I found your channel. Thanks for explaining the puckering part, so annoying when that happens. Thanks for sharing your skills with us!
Nikia Newman, Yay! I'm glad that I saved you some trouble - it took me a while to figure it out. I'm happy to share my pitfalls so that you won't have them too! And... my Home Depot Patio Style Challenge goes LIVE today so make sure you check back for all my outdoor decor tips. It was so fun to do! So great to have you here, Renee
I don't sew at all, but your instructions are awesome! I feel like I can do this. Thanks!
tess2626, I hope you go out and get yourself a sewing machine - how great would that be? You absolutely can do this and you'll have a one-of-a-kind duvet cover that no one else has. It'll be made better than anything you can buy too! Thanks so much for the great note. All the best, Renee
These are gorgeous! You did a fabulous job explaining this for the beginner. Love it!
Queen Bee of Honey Dos, Thank you for the compliments!! You're just the BEST!!
I just found your channel and I luv it!! I have been wanting to make some pillow covers for my couch, but i am still a little new to sewing. However after watching your video, I believe I may be able to do it!! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain in detail how to make such beautiful pillow covers. Greatly appreciated!

Wow! Loved watching this! Thanks Renee. I usually lose conciousness when watching some videos. You got right into it, and provided clear instructional information! Those linen damask pillows are gorgeous!
A Wren, Thank you so much! Thankfully, there's a fast-forward sometimes- right? 😄 It's hard to figure out what to get rid of in the editing portion. I'm getting better at it every time I make a video- I think. I love the damask pillows too. They're even prettier in person. That's why I love to make things. I get to choose it all. Thanks for the nice comment. All the best, Renee
Excellent job Renee...I will be using your techniques (pillows and Duvet) on the next two projects I have lined up. Thank you...great video.
Kevin Siebert, Thanks so much for the nice complements! I hope I've saved you some valuable time too. Your bedroom is going to look wonderful. All the best on your two projects, Renee
Wow! Gorgeous pillows. I just did a search for making pillows with fringe and your video came up.
browneyeddiva, I'm so glad you found me. I think fringe makes all the difference. Your are going to look gorgeous too!! Are you going to make these for yourself? Thanks for taking the time to leave such a nice comment. All the best, Renee

Outstanding instructions! Definitely will subscribe to your channel. The pillows are gorgeous!
Hi Sandra, Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad that I could help you with your project. All the best, Renee
Very nice video! You are a good teacher.
Rose Broadway, Thanks for the beautiful note! I hope you give this pillow project a try. All best, Renee
i never clipped the fringe or any corners before as I was lazy. Now i know how much better it will be if i clip. I love your cat so cute. thanks for telling us that fringe is looped on the edge and can be cut. im wondering if a stretch stitch will prevent puckering. or a bigger stitch. in any case it is beautiful what you do and lovely . i mean if your going to make an effort to make a pillow it might as well have decorative edging. I feel like im in a class and its free.
gypseygirl731, First, thank you so much for viewing this video - I so appreciate your time! My kitty thanks you too. 🙂 I think the issue with puckering has to do with the machine not being powerful enough to handle all the layers of fabric and trim. I also think that it's worth a try to set your machine on the longest stitch and see if that prevents the problem. I rarely use a stretch stitch because it's impossible to take out if I don't like the results (which is most of the time). Also, you can try to let the machine feed the fabric under the presser foot instead of you trying to guide it (I hope that makes sense) and see how it goes. Try checking out my Sailrite sewing machine review too. If you love to sew home decor projects, an industrial sewing machine may be just the thing for you. It's made all the difference in giving me professional results. I love my power tools! Please let me know if this helps, Renee
Thanks for yet another great video! Just a couple of questions . I have some calico that is very thin, so I was wondering if I could use this instead of the flannel for the underneath of the outside fabric. I also wondered if there was a particular reason that you didn't use a zipper or button closure on the cover for ease of laundering the cover. I also wondered if using a walking foot would save having to ease the fabrics together to save it puckering? It's just a thought that came to me when I saw you doing this. I also loved the way you pulled the fabric taut as you were sewing along because whenever I do that I feel as though I am cheating! lol I have seen that trim but didn't know what it was called before. I've also seen the line with the thread holding the trim together but I thought that it was a part of the trim, so I'm pleased that it comes out because it put me off what I thought could have been a nice trim if not for that side! 😊 Pulling that thread out would be my favourite part too ... The joy of seeing how pretty it was and the magic happening! I was also tickled to see you using your little armchair for your pins! I'm going to make one that will not only hold my pins, but make the seat big enough to hold needles and perhaps a pair of embroidery scissors and a tape measure. I think I will have to make mine a sofa to be long enough to hold the scissors! Maybe I should consider making two armchairs and the sofa to match! lol. Thank you again. I love that you are so clear with your instructions that anyone could follow them while learning a few sewing tricks along the way! I wish that You Tube was around 55+ years ago when I did sewing at school. Perhaps I wouldn't have dreaded it so much for so many years! I've had to try doing things using logic as I had no one to teach me how to sew, but when I was stranded in a country where the fashion stores catered only for women with shorter legs than me, I had to learn how to make slacks. I bought a pattern, but for some reason I didn't think to read it, just used it to cut out the pieces. I managed to sew a few pair that fitted well, but more by good luck than good management because it wasn't until years later that I realised that the rest of the paperwork that came in the pattern packet was the instructions to make the whole thing a lot easier! lol.
Wendy, Thank you for making me laugh! I love to hear everyone else's experiences and points of view. I've definitely had my share of mishaps in the sewing room - that's why I'm trying to give away all the answers. I'm also self-taught but don't beat yourself up about not reading the instructions. Sometimes they made things more complicated than they needed to be. You're getting all the best of my "ah-ha!" moments. And... I love your idea about making a complete living room set. I'm certain that I have enough needles, pins, etc. to fill an entire furniture suite too! Your calico won't work as well underneath thin fabric because the flannel actually grabs onto the face fabric and almost behaves one unit. The calico is too slippery for that. Also, I hand stitched the pillow opening just to demonstrate that it was an option too. I try to offer options in my videos but I do need to demonstrate sewing a zipper with a hidden flap sometime in the future. It works out really well for this type of trim application. Thanks for the great questions! Have a great day, Renee
I don't know how I got here, but I'm now looking into buying a sewing machine 😊
HelloKittysMistress, Isn't that the case sometimes? We all get pulled into UA-cam from time to time. I'm so glad you found me! I have a few sewing projects coming up over the Fall and Winter that you may want to check out. In the meantime, here's a link to my sewing playlist for inspiration: reneeromeo.com/?s=sewing#
I do reupholstery and so much more too! Thanks for the nice note. All the best, Renee
hello gorgeous video excellent sewing skills if you are home and you have to leave the hair in rollers for some time I wouldn't mind watching you do some sewing While are still in waiting to set please kindly let me know it would be very much appreciated OK?thank you very much and have a beautiful day 😊
I like You Pillows . Please show when You Strip the Covers . Thanks
Di, I will take a quick video snippet and attach it to this video. It only requires a simple hand-held seam ripper and it's pretty quick to do. Thanks, Renee
Where do you get your gorgeous fabric, because JOannes is horrible.
Beth Bilous, Gee - thanks! I know that every fabric store is different - even one JOanne store to another - so the best I can recommend is that you go straight to the special order area of the store if you don't see anything in stock that you want. The great thing about special ordering is that you can return the fabric if it's not quite what you expected. It takes a little extra time but the results are worth the effort. Calico Corners is great too - especially when there's a sale! I hope this helps! Happy sewing, Renee
@@ReneeRomeo thank you i know where the special order section at Joannes is. I do need to go to a Calico corner store too, its a 45 min drive to mine. Do you ever buy fabric online? If you do where please. I am starting to realize designers that make fabric I like. Prices run the gamut though.
@@bethbilous4720 Funny - I have never bought fabric online. I usually order samples and they never look like my monitor does - it's a gamble. Calico Corners has GORGEOUS fabrics in stock but beware because they can easily be over $50.00 a yard! But... I always find great deals in their clearance area (trim as well) so the trip is DEFINITELY worth the ride! All the best, Renee
@@ReneeRomeo I went to Calico yesterday, but had no time to look at the clearance. I will go again without the Dh in tow, but the women were so darn snooty. My hub said they had some clearance rolls for like 12.99 a yard. so now i real interested.
@@bethbilous4720 Hahaha! Put your blinders on and ignore the staff - it's just a little time spent feeling uncomfortable to get some great loot!! Wish I were there shopping with you... Renee
