This decorative pillow is easy to make because the appliques are all made from felt! The branches and berries are attached with a simple straight stitch. The holly leaves are embellished with free-motion stitching to add dimension. The finished size of the pillow shown is 14” x 28” (35.5cm x 71cm) but you can modify these instructions to make a pillow any size you want. In fact, these techniques can be used to make table runners, place mats and much more. The pattern templates for the leaves and stem are included at the end of these instructions.
