What a sweet little Pug Pillow. Would love to know how the standing-up wave of ruffle is accomplished. Care to share?

Love them both. I used to have a pug many years ago and the pillow is very lifelike. Great job.

It's easy. I did two rows of ¼inch pin tucks (but you can do as many rows as you like) - there are plenty of tutes on pin tucks on You Tube - then you put a couple of stitches in the pleats to hold them facing up, further along put a couple of stitches in the pleats to hold them facing down. I caught the pleats in 3 places across the 14" width. I machine stitched my catches seeing the cushion will probably be washed a lot, otherwise I would have just caught the pleats down with one or two hand stitches.

I hope you have fun trying it out.
