D-I-Y Pillow Design

Throw pillows are great to use in just about any area of your home. They can accessorize a bland couch, accent a bed or futon, make an uncomfortable Kitchen Chair comfy, and bring the indoors outside when added to patio chairs or loungers.

Considering all of the various options to use pillows, you can imagine how expensive the idea could become. And, that is why we have chosen to explain the do-it-yourself version of pillow design.

Designing your own pillows helps save money and allows you to create unique, one of a kind pieces. To do so, follow the easy steps explained below.

Step 1: Decide on a decorative fabric. Shop in craft stores or buy fabric online for a wider selection. Consider the color(s) you wish to use, if you would like a pattern or detail, and the fabric material that you prefer. This all depends on the room that the pillow will be used in and its purpose. For instance if the pillow will be purely decorative, then a detailed or beaded silk fabric would work but if people will be sitting or laying on the pillow you would want to choose a more comfortable fabric.

Step 2: Determine the size and shape of the pillow. Rectangles and squares are easier to work with but you could also design a circular or oval shaped pillow if you prefer.

Step 3: Measure out the size and shape needed and cut two pieces for the front and back of the pillow. Be sure to include a half inch seam all the way around on each piece. Also, remember that the fabric does not have to be identical on each side of the pillow. You could make the front side a detailed pattern and the Back Side a solid color. Just be certain that whatever fabric you decide, you measure and cut the front and back pieces the same size.

Step 4: Line the front and back pieces of the fabric together in an inside out fashion (the parts of the fabric that you want to see on the pillow should be on the inside).  Once arranged pin the two pieces together about a quarter inch in from the edges.

Step 5: Begin sewing the pinned pieces together, leaving a half inch seam around the edges. Be sure to also leave a gap of at least 3 inches so you have an area to stuff the pillow with filler.

Step 6: Turn the sewed pieces right side out and iron the material. Be careful to use the right iron temperature depending on the type of material.

Step 7: Stuff the pillow through the gapped area with whatever filler you choose. This can be cotton, down, feather, or another option. Squeeze the pillow and test the comfort to determine how much filler you want to use.

Step 8: Finish the D-I-Y throw pillow by sewing together the gapped area. The half inch seem should be folded in and a whip stitch should be used.

Pillow Talk $10.17 There are but a few contemporary jazz ensembles that can boast of having more than 20 solid years of hits in their discographies. However, Pieces of a Dream, celebrating 30 years of funky jazz with Pillow Talk, have done just that. The powerhouse contemporary jazz combo -- which can always be depended upon to provide all the right party grooves and the sublime essence of smooth jazz -- reinvents itself on 12 songs that feature sexy riffs, infectious grooves, and the compelling vocals of Ramona Dunlap. Led by acclaimed funkmeisters keyboardist James Lloyd and drummer Curtis Harmon, "House Arrest," an instrumental song with a house-style beat, opens the set. The danceability of "House Arrest" is what makes this song so happening. On "Triflin'," "Those Three Words," and "Your Love," vocalist Ramona Dunlap examines the visual rhymes that weave their way through the group's collaborations. On "Triflin'," a song she co-wrote with Lloyd and Cherie Mitchell, her style is somewhat reminiscent of Lalah Hathaway and Jill Scott, but the synchronicity is all her own. Her scats and raps are right in line with the background vocals of Cherie Mitchell. "Sincere" features the exemplary sax work of Tony Watson, while "Attitude" sets Lloyd's complex piano lines and Watson's full-bodied sax riffs against a hip-hop backbeat. "Teresa" is a beautiful midtempo ballad dedicated to Lloyd's wife. His gorgeous piano melody is a metaphor of beautiful emotions. The title track closes the set with the flair of melodic jazz-pop. If you go for this style with its sexy edge and catchy hooks, you'll find plenty of new signature riffs and harmonies here. Pieces of a Dream have taken a fresh approach to their sound, and their craft is solidly defined. There is a creative fit that will put you "In That Mood" to make great "Pillow Talk." ~ Paula Edelstein, Rovi Performers: Bernie Sims - Keyboards; Cherie Mitchell - Vocals (Background), Vocals; Curtis Harmon - Vocals (Background), Bass, Drums, Percussion, Keyboards; David Cullen - Guitar; David Dyson - Guitar (Bass); Eddie Baccus, Jr. - Saxophone; Greg Riley - Saxophone; James Lloyd - Piano, Keyboards; Ramona Dunlap - Vocals;
