DIY DECOR: Throw Pillow Hacks On a Budget, Save Time & Money!

[@joannepease4341]

I just made pillows the other day using rope cording and it's a nightmare to work with when joining the two ends together. This video is so helpful. I am definitely going to try your method. Thank you Natalie! You are very talented. I love your top :)

[@designedtothenines]

Joanne Pease Thank you so much!! I am so glad it was helpful! I wish I made it a few days earlier to save you headache on your other project! 😃

Pablo Picasso said “Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.” Thank you for the tutorial! You're an inspiration to me!

[@designedtothenines]

Great quote! Love this.💕

[@philisbramlett6890]

All your " shortcuts " give beginners to experts the courage to indulge ourselves in room decor that personalizes "Our Homes " Thank you NataLee ❤

[@jankinman4685]

Oh my goodness! So glad to know piping can be done this way! Always love piping detail on pillows but when I don’t have enough for bias I leave it off. Thank you for proving it can be done!

[@MrsKuhn.2]

I just love how you teach as well as build, sew, glue things together. I'm loving the content and most of all your humor 😂. Looking forward to seeing more

[@junethiel632]

I like you more and more! 🙂 Short cuts lets you have WAY more fun, as it keeps your enthusiasm going - good for you!!! I must tell you, aged 72, I have started using an electric drill - who knew?

[@kimberlysmith2688]

You broke the rules. I’m telling. LOL! Awesome video. Thanks.

[@gailsilvey7172]

I love all of your rules!! Now I am going to make my pillows. I cannot find any that I like. Thank you, I love watching and learning from you.

[@LydiaNicoleLive]

I loved how you broke down the piping rule and then why you were breaking it. Awesome 😎

[@designedtothenines]

Common Sense Mamita thanks for stopping by!

[@deaneclark6469]

Your pillow turned awesome! I want to learn how to use a sewing machine....I have one, just have not learned how to use it yet! As always thank you for sharing! Stay safe, healthy and positive! GOD bless you and your family! 🙏❤🇺🇸😊

[@judyblaise1639]

Great pillow hacks. Thank you

[@charlotteroig9567]

I stopped using the bias for piping years and years ago, no problem at all. You are very talented indeed.

[@teresacahlik6887]

Glad to see the non bias for the cording 💜

[@justinerene4982]

Wow! You're a genius!! I bow to you 😏🛐👑✂️

[@robertabostrom210]

oh thanks so much for the hack I always questioned why piping couldn't be sewn this way. I will give it a go

[@rosebuhr]

I’m just about to make some new scatters, thanks for the tip

[@annroberts3635]

I love your pillow. I love JoAnn’s remnant rack. I never go inside the store without looking at the remnant rack. I have been sewing over 50 years and I think breaking the rules Occasionally make you a better Seamstress, especially when it turns out beautiful. Ann from Va.

[@designedtothenines]

Thanks Ann🙏

[@stephanierivera7633]

Thanks for making my piping life soo much easier, not to mention fun!!

[@philisbramlett6890]

I can do that ! I always got lost when the directions said to " cut on the bias " and quickly gave up . Not any more ! Thank you ! Whst an Encourager of the thread you truely are . No waste . No muss . No fuss ❤

[@tamaram.b.harbin4801]

Love your creative journey and how you inspire others. Your talent encourages me to listen to my own creative soul. I am so thrilled you are feeling better and wish you more good health and creative endeavors. ❤

[@bonniehodges6249]

I love the way you done the pillows

[@connied5858]

Amazing I'm a quilter but was always afraid to make pillows, but not now!

[@dianebateman6808]

What a great hack, love how it turned out. I'm a sewer and ideas to cut time and frustration- I'm all over it. Thank you for your ideas along with tips and tricks to shorten work times. I've never made a pillow with piping but I know that when I do, I will be sure to use your tricks. Thanks for sharing!!

[@gegeschannel8836]

This is what I learned after years of sewing. Buy pre-made piping. I mean trim that has an edge that you can sew into the pillow. It has saved me a lot of time and money. Hobby Lobby and I am sure others have this on sale al, the time.

[@designedtothenines]

I use both… I like them both equally. But I can see how somebody would like a premade piping. It can be pretty handy! Thanks for watching!😃

[@jglorytogod70sambo16]

Awesome sauce!!!! I want to learn how to sow!!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@loragardner7311]

I love it! I also love your shirt!

[@lindasells4476]

Thanks, Natalie I have been making a lot of mistakes when making pillows this gives me hope for my next try

[@janetsharrett1894]

Great Tutorial! I love all the shortcuts and really dislike cutting bias pieces. I always try to avoid that. I am glad you showed how to do the piping. I have had issues with that. I see that in this older video your hair was parted on the opposite side. I knew you made a change. I really like the new look! All of your progects are so great and I love the variety. Blessings to you.

[@lindabrown4992]

We have a fabric store in Grand Rapids, MI called Fields. They have a section that have discounted material. Great finds.... Not sure they do mail-order but worth checking out.

[@jessicajobe9969]

I love your videos so much! I may need to get brave and do a pillow with the cording...it looks so nice! I've been very intimidated by that in the past but you made it look like maybe I could actually do it. Thank you for your amazing videos - you have mad skills and I love watching them! I'm all about the hacks and cheats too BTW. ;)

[@jessicahites871]

I did a complete makeover of an old vanity and a Very old rocking chair for my 8yr old daughter for Xmas 2020. First time I ever tackled this type of sewing project so I was pleased with the outcome but it would have turned out better if I'd seen this awesome video first;)

[@jessicahites871]

Oh yea I forgot to say your shirt is Fantastic!

[@sincerelym11]

Perfect, I love it! I'm a bit obsessed with throw pillows. I've given some away and still have about 30 pillows left 😂. I purchased some of my fabric at Old Time Pottery, they sell some designer fabrics and have great sales. I'll have to give piping a try. Love your channel ☺️

[@designedtothenines]

I’m so happy to help! You will love adding piping to your pillows it adds such a finished touch.💖

[@debra-lynnsloan]

I think that Pillow Project is Amazing. Sewing is (Very Intimidating) to me, and you made it seem accessible. I know it is not that easy but your video, makes me want to purchase a small sewing machine and take sewing lessons. Thank you for sharing your secrets.

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you so much! You should… Get one that has adjustable speed so you can slow down the speed of the machine as you are first learning.😃

[@reginahorton2445]

I love everything you do form pillows, cooking, using power tools,

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you Regina💕

[@hsepulveda1]

Love the pillows and piping ideas!

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you ☺️

[@sharonbaughman7414]

I sew soft furnishings and enjoyed watching you break some rules! I usually cut the fabric on the bias and make the join less noticeable but you did a great job. And for the price! You won’t believe what people spend on custom pillows. Great video, Fabric has gotten so expensive!,, I love your channel,

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you so much Sharon!💕

[@yackiejackie3]

Natalee love this video! I want to make pillows now👍

[@designedtothenines]

Awesome!

[@dilariscy]

Love it!! Saves time and frustration. Thank you for sharing!!

[@designedtothenines]

I hope it helps!😃

[@sharipearce5937]

Gorgeous. I put in zippers because I like to change out my pillows regularly, seasonally, and storing a pillow cover takes up less space than storing a pillow. Regardless, I loved your video! Thanks.

[@jenamerryman5045]

Super tutorial! You make it look so easy. Thank you

[@designedtothenines]

Jena Merryman Awe... Thanks! 😊

[@BeMyBubba]

Omg I’ve never done this kind of pillow because of the cutting on the bias! Now I know I can do it!

[@designedtothenines]

It’s okay to cheat a little. ☺️ Sometimes!

[@lindarolin3941]

I can't believe it but you taught me something on sewing! I never thought it would work to not do the pipng on the bias. Thank you so much and I cant wait to try it.

[@designedtothenines]

I’ve been sewing a long time. Sometimes it’s okay to cheat a little. 😉

[@deborahbender5333]

Hello again, I have bought throw pillows from thrift stores and Goodwill and such and then I bring them home put them inside a bed pillow case throw them in the washer just a little bit of soap tiny bit and a little drop of bleach to sanitize them and yes it takes a little bit longer to dry in the dryer but they come out smelling fresh as a daisy . that way I feel safe to use them...

[@designedtothenines]

I love it! Great suggestion. Thank you ☺️

[@heatheryohe8874]

Would love to see a more in depth tutorial on how you did that 🥰

[@rachelcranfield445]

Thank you for this video!! I tend to get lazy when sewing. This makes it so easy! Love that magnolia fabric! Did you get it at JoAnn too?

[@PreyforJustice]

There is nothing wrong with breaking a few rules under seven looks wonderfu. Ann from Va.

[@designedtothenines]

Rules were meant to be broken right?!😊💕

[@ortallivyatan2141]

haha i love the quick and easy "cheaters" edition!

[@designedtothenines]

Ortal Livyatan I’m a big fan of working smarter not harder! 😃

[@lamajigmeg]

how fun

[@klb6217]

cutting on the bias with rotary cutter is easy & fast. doesn't take much fabric if you know my tricks! lol.

[@designedtothenines]

Definitely the “proper” way! ☺️

[@kathleenmerry9124]

Natalee I did not understand what you meant by five eight. What does that mean

[@1948ForeverYoung]

Love your cheater hints. I never found the bargain bin that you found at Jo-Ann’s good for yo.

[@gailjernigan2482]

I agree down pillows look best, but I am super allergic to feathers. I've been using polyester fiber fill but they just don't look as good. Any suggestions?

[@designedtothenines]

Let me look into that a little and see what I can come up with! 😃

[@Al-cd2bk]

Rules are ment to be broken at times .

[@designedtothenines]

Preach!🙌💕

[@janiewarre9941]

Good job girl but it did cringe just a little.

[@designedtothenines]

😆 I can understand especially if you are a traditionalist! 💕

[@michelleclayton8705]

Great tips; thank you so much for the easy and fabulous technique!
