Required Materials

• 

  Fabric A: See table in the section “Preparation & Cutting”

  I used a non-stretch cotton fabric with a dense weave and a soft, matte finish. For the example, I chose Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton, as it is easy to work with and holds its shape well.

• 

  Fabric B: See table in the section “Preparation & Cutting”

  For the leaves. Lightweight cotton fabric with a smooth surface.

• 

  Interfacing (optional):

  If desired, you can reinforce the leaves with fusible batting to give them more stability.

• 

  Interfacing or Non-woven Interlining (optional):

  If your fabric needs extra stability, is slightly transparent, or if the filling might show through, you can reinforce the pillow with non-woven interlining or fusible interfacing.

• 

  Stuffing: As needed To fill the pillow and help it maintain its shape. Alternatively, fabric scraps or other soft materials can be used.

• 

  Embroidery Thread: for the dots

  Depending on your preference, you can use thin wool or embroidery thread.

• 

  Sewing Thread: Universal sewing thread, thickness 120 Suitable for the recommended needle size NM 70–80.
