Making pillows by hand: Any tips?

Dear users, dear authors,
Are there any tips for making and stuffing pillows?

Oh, there are so many ways to make a pillow! Here are a few examples from me—as you can see, the variety is huge, and this is just a fraction of the pillows I’ve sewn so far. Most of them aren’t even here with me anymore—as soon as they were finished, one of my grandkids snatched them up.

Best regards, Inge

Wow!
I like the first one best.... :-))

That saying is so cool!!!

Pillows are the perfect way to get started with sewing :). You can really let your creativity run wild, or just keep it simple... They’re also great for trying out new sewing techniques :).

You’re showing us some great pillows there

I love all the pillows that have been shown here in this thread. The variety also shows that everyone can make pillows to suit their own taste: as patchwork, with ruffles, with ribbon bows, in different shapes, in favorite colors, with messages on them—awesome! Pillows will never go out of style. You always need them: for cuddling, as decor, for coziness, as a source of comfort.

Thank you so much for sharing.
Best regards, Ina

I’m always amazed by what you all create here. They’re simply enchanting and cozy—I think they’re all beautiful and unique.

Thank you so much :).
Yes, I agree: Pillows are a great way to get creative and just try out new things :).

At first, the new cushion cover fit the cushion well, but after a few cuddle attacks, it got a bit stretched out and now looks pretty saggy. I’ll be getting a new cushion soon, and next time I’ll be less generous with the measurements.
