#402 Aidan's Pillow Shams

aidan

Pillows are a pretty nursery addition and pillow shams are an easy way to make decorative accents which are easily laundered.  They are designed for decorative purposes and may be used to decorate benches, rocking chairs, etc.  They can serve a very good purpose when a group of four or five are placed in a new mom's rocking chair.  They are great for back and arm support when feeding and rocking a new baby. These easy pillow shams make a fast and easy and innovative baby gift.  There are four variations ranging from pintucks to folded tucks to shadow work and embroidery designs (which are included in the pattern) to a plain variation, which may be monogrammed.  Instructions to make your own pillow are included.  Add this to your sewing library today for easy reference and quick gifts.
