Years ago my mother made a couch decorative pillow that she tucked - does anyone have the instructions for how to make this pillow?
thanks darlene |
Do you mean candle wicking?
|
no, they were tucks sewn on the back which formed a pattern on the front because of the tucks. I have seen them in commercial pillows, but they are pricey and I remember my mother had a pattern - can't find one, though.

LOOK UP CHICKEN SCRATCH, OR MAYBE IT'S HEN SCRATCH,
IT'S DONE ON GINGHAM RIGHT? |
When I looked them up on internet - it was not tucked. Am I missing something?
thanks darlene |
It sounds like it might be honey comb smocking or pleating. Like this maybe?

I think that might be close -
thank you darlene |
You can make a similar type of pattern making pin tucks with your serger and then sewing them down in a wave pattern with your sewing machine. I just suggest it as it would be a quick result.

My mom used to do this to and i can't for the life of me remember how she did it. so i'll be watching this one

unless I am missing something - the first one is about a tissue cover and the other three do not exist.
thanks, though darlene |
I like the look of the pillow that is tucked - but no instructions!
thanks darlene |
smocking would be my take on it. Sounds like something we did way back when...
