Hello lovelies!

Here is another quick tutorial. A cute pillow case....with a Christmas tree! Just like my previous tutorial, I choose Artisan Fabrics which is color perfect for this project☺

Materials 

1 ⁵⁄₈ of ART-53107 (Fabric A)

¼ of ART-53109 (Fabric B)

Fat Eight of ART-53102 (Fabric C)

Cutting Instructions 

HST=Half Square Triangles 

•Cut twenty-seven (27) 3'' by 3'' squares of Fabric A and half square cut five (5). So you will end up with twenty-two (22) 3'' by 3'' squares and ten (10) HST.

•Cut two (2) 20'' by 24'' squares of Fabric A

•Cut nineteen (19) 3'' by 3'' squares of Fabric B and half square cut five (5). So you will end up with fourteen (14) 3'' by 3'' squares and ten (10) HST.

•Cut two (2) 3'' by 3'' squares of Fabric C

Step 1

Using 1/4 seam allowance.

First Row

First take two (2) HST of Fabric A and two (2) HST of Fabric B and sew them together:

-Sew one (1) HST of Fabric A with one (1) HST of Fabric B. Repeat this same step with the remaining two (2) HST.

Now, grab six (6) 3'' by 3'' squares of  Fabric A, and take the pieces completed from the previous step, lay them as shown below and stitch together. 

Second Row

First take two (2) HST of Fabric A and two (2) HST of Fabric B and sew them together:

-Sew one (1) HST of Fabric A with one (1) HST of Fabric B. Repeat this same step with the remaining two (2) HST.

Now, grab four (4) 3'' by 3'' squares of  Fabric A, and two (2) 3'' by 3'' squares of  Fabric B. Take the pieces completed from the previous step, lay them as shown below and stitch together. 

Third Row

First take two (2) HST of Fabric A and two (2) HST of Fabric B and sew them together:

-Sew one (1) HST of Fabric A with one (1) HST of Fabric B. Repeat this same step with the remaining two (2) HST.

Now, grab four (4) 3'' by 3'' squares of  Fabric B, and two (2) 3'' by 3'' squares of  Fabric A. Take the pieces completed from the previous step, lay them as shown below and stitch together. 

Repeat this same step for the Fourth and Fifth Row. 

Sixth Row

Sept 2

Now that you have all the six rows completed, place them and stitch them together as explained in the diagram below. 

You will end up with a pillow top looking like this.

For the pillow back, make sure to visit The Wedge Pillow Case Tutorial. Follow Step 3 and 4, just replacing the two (2) 20'' by 24'' squares of Fabric B.

And you are done! This pillow case was super easy to make as well, it took me less than an hour to complete it. And now I have my home with more adorable quilted Christmas decorations.

Happy sewing and happy holidays!
