Hi Friends! I’m Melanie Call from A Bit of Scrap Stuff Blog and Instagram. Today is all about pillows using the fabulous new collection: Camp S’mores by Hershey with Riley Blake Designs. S’mores and sewing is the most perfect combination of happiness!
Pillow Party Time
Ready to chat about pillows. Sewing pillow cases and decor pillows are my favorite projects because they can be finished in an afternoon and are an affordable project – yay! Plus the pillowcase pattern is a free pattern by Riley Blake Designs and the Reversible Zipper Pillow is a free tutorial on my blog.
My daughter is so excited for our matching Camp S’mores pillowcases for our next Girl Scout camp out! This project is super quick to make and will definitely bring sweet dreams.
Roll Up Pillow Case
Supplies for one pillow
- Roll Up Pillow Case free pattern – here
- 3/4 yard Main Fabric: Camp S’mores Main Green
- 1/4 yard Cuff Fabric (9″ x WOF) : Camp S’mores Text Marshmallow or Chocolate
- 2.25″ x WOF Trim Fabric: Lori Holt Shabby Fabric Leaf
Tips:
- Pattern step 4. I did not finish the raw edge of the seam with a zig-zag or overcast stitch because this seam will be hidden.
- Pattern step 7b. I recommend making the French seam option to avoid exposed seams.
Camp S’mores Panel
I love panels! If a fabric collection has an included panel, I always need it plus Riley Blake Designs panels are such fantastic quality. I use panels for an easy quilt or quilt backing or bags or decor pillows … so many options! The Camp S’mores Panel is sooooo perfect for decor pillows.
Reversible Zipper Pillows 16″ x 16″
To make my Decor Pillows – I used my free tutorial: Reversible Zipper Pillow on my A Bit of Scrap Stuff Blog (here).
I made a few changes to my tutorial to make it a bit quicker since I was using all four squares on the panel.
- ONLY trim off the Hershey plaid top and bottom of panel.
- Make a quilt sandwich – Panel plus batting plus backing fabric. My backing is Lori Holt Bee Ginghams Jennifer Alpine – this will be hidden inside pillow, but I still wanted mine to be cute.
- Machine quilt as desired. I chose a meander free motion design.
- Cut each square to 16.5″ x 16.5″
- Start at Step 2 of my Reversible Zipper Pillow Tutorial (here)
- Camp S’mores Reversible Zipper Pillow will finish at 16″ x 16″ (instead of 18″ x 18″ as noted in blog tutorial)
I chose to make two pillows that are reversible! Of course, you can easily make four pillows – just choose a coordinating print from Camp S’mores for the reverse side!
I hope you have fun making Camp S’mores Decor Pillows plus Pillowcases for your home or next camping trip or cabin or camper! Be prepared for sweet dreams!
