One of my favorite new shows on TV is New Girl. It's seriously hilarious and I love the dynamic between all of the characters. During one of the episodes last season Zooey Deschanel's character Jess had this super adorable pom and rick rack trimmed pillow that I just had to DIY.
This DIY is fairly straightforward but it is a bit time consuming.
Supplies:
Plain standard size pillow sham
Teal pom pom trim-I used around 3 yards
Hot pink rick rack trim- 3 yards as well
pins, needle and coordinating thread.
Start by pinning your pom trim to the top edges of your pillow case. Continue pinning around the whole pillowcase. At the corners I folded the trim in the same way I did for my pom trim scarf. Refer to that tutorial for a more detailed explanation.
After pinning the entire pillowcase begin sewing the trim. I did a simple running stitch along the entire pillow.
Once the pom trim is sewn on, begin pining the pink rick rack just about the poms on the front side of the pillow. Use the same fold trick on the corners.
Again, once the rick rack is all pinned go ahead and sew the trim down using a running stitch. Because you are going to be sewing the trim on the top of the pillowcase you have to make sure you only sew through the top and not entirely through the pillowcase. This is a little difficult but not impossible, all in all it really just takes some time and patience.
Check your stitches and Voila!
