Thanks Riley! I've sewn clothing and art dolls, etc. all my life. I don't quilt but decided to make appliqued pillows for holiday gifts. I thought of buying bias tape for the edging 'cause that's what I know from 60 odd years ago. This pillow will be done following your instructions.
I love your videos...new way to finish a pillow and it surely beats using bias-covered cording. I'd love to see more videos like this as well as clothing items like the sunhat.
Love that cushion design and binding! I just made two quilt tops and just about to quilt them and most of the fabrics in these are Riley Blakes too. ☺️ I was just thinking on what kind of binding to put on these cushion covers, and your advice was helpful. Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial! 🌼 😃
A very clear tutorial! It’s the one I will use for binding my pillow. Can you please tell me about the small ruler you used when you got to the end of sewing on the binding to the project? Thanks a million. Pat
I wish I had seen this video earlier today because I just made a pillow with beautiful fabric but I felt like it still needed something only I didn't know what; the fact that I put in a zipper on the bottom seam complicated what I could do around the edges. I will definitely do this with my next pillow, though!
Beautiful block. Did you have a tutorial / pattern for this block? I know how to make the Dresden plate I'm just wondering if you had something for that circle applique?
Wish you showed the overlap back. Doing this method, how do you determine the each side of the back fabric. For a standard size bed pillow Single fabric and the double folded fabric backing.
Typically, for an envelope pillow, you will cut two pieces of fabric - To get the right measurement, take the height and divide by 2. Then add about 3". The width will be the same as the width of the pillow. So for an 18" pillow, I would cute two 12" x 18" pieces of fabric. On the envelope end, just turn the edge under 1/4", then press, then turn under 1/4" again and top stitch. Do this on both pieces for finished edges. Of course, the exact measurements can vary based on how you like your pillows to look. You can do a search for DIY envelope pillow for many variations.
Hi Dottie, we made this ironing mat using a piece of plywood, batting, and fabric. We layered the batting and fabric and stapled them to the back. Super easy and useful for our small space!
So as I understand this, you don’t sew and turn your top and bottom...instead, you sew wrong sides together, baste, then do a binding? Easy, peasy! Tfs. 👏🏻💕👏🏻
Thank you! I never thought about binding a pillow. Yours looks so finished. Thank you!
PS. I Love your hair this WAY!
I refer to this tutorial over and over again when I’m doing bias binding! Thank you.

Just what I need! I wanted piping on the edge, but using binding is soooo much better. Thank you so much!

I would love to make this table runner, very cute.

How much yardage do you need to make binding for a 16" pillow?
Thank you! I did make one tonight, but I guess my tape was not a good magnetic one, because it does not snap closed tightly😪

Do you have a pattern for the block you are using for the binded pillow
I'm Kibuuka Hassan student Kampala University BIAD I appreciate your lesson madam but I'm lacking a sewing machine but good enough I have understood
I'm looking for an ironing mat like the one you use in this video. Please tell me more about it. Where to purchase one. Thank you!

Thank you! I’m seeing where some use a wool mat. Checking into that too.
Is there a video that shows how to make the pillow block?
What iron are you using? I have never seen a gray oliso iron
It's an Oliso but according to their web site, it's sold out.
So as I understand this, you don’t sew and turn your top and bottom...instead, you sew wrong sides together, baste, then do a binding? Easy, peasy! Tfs. 👏🏻💕👏🏻
Perfect 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I do this, but hand sew the opposite direction!
I wish she show how she cut all the ather fabrics.
Sew fun!
You bind like the wind... It takes me ages to bind. I hate it. :|
That didn’t turn out right ...I meant to say and watching your binding tutorial..lol
