When working with foam you should actually be pretty conservative with seam allowences. We were told in upholstery school to add maybe half a centimeter around the edges, and then sew it way wider, to make sure the pillow stays snug and the cover doesn’t look loose around it. Foam is soft and it gives in easily, so no need to give it more room. Edit: the side pieces should be straight grain. You’re not trying to curve the fabric against it’s physics. The grainlines run perfectly straight, just on top of a circular form. No need to cut it on the bias. The bias grain will actually make it harder to get an accurate fit. Instead what would be helpful is measuring accurately, and marking midway and quarter way points around the circle and around the side piece to make sure the pieces match up. Makes sewing so much easier.

Here’s the tips you were expecting. I done hundreds if not more machine appliqué. You will be so much happier if you use a stabilizer on the back. It keeps the tunneling from happening and helps with smoother turning. It can be a purchased one or just notebook paper. You can do a satin stitch, zig-zag, straight or my favorite the blanket stitch. Using a fusible prevents ruffled, frayed edges. You could have just fused some seed shapes on and just straight stitch through the middle, buttons, lazy daisy stitch or one of those stitches you never use on your machine. Your pillows turned out really cute.

Standard seam allowance for upholstery is 1/2 inch so you're right on the money there. When you're sewing the side onto a cushion like that, you can snip the seam allowance as you go to make it easier to go around the curves, and if you leave the ends loose and start and stop sewing the side to the face a few inches away, you can sew the two ends together with the perfect chef-kiss length, and then finish the seam between the side and face. It also really, really helps to mark balance notches on the face pieces, and then transfer those marks to both edges of the side piece as you sew the first face, so that the cushion doesn't end up twisted (which isn't a big deal on a circle, but is very helpful for other shapes) when you sew on the second face.

You could try some light Heat n Bond to keep the segments in place while you stitch around them and also could use some of the decorative stitches on your machine around the edge to give it some additional interest. A Blanket stitch would give it a nice little bit of interest without being just a thick zigzag stitch. BUT that being said I love them they are so cute you did a great job.

The plant-watering-condundrum is easier with a moisture meter. It's a metal probe you stick in the soil, it has a little meter on top that says "dry - moist - wet" and then you notice very quickly which plants need more water and which ones are slowly drowning. Bonus: you also notice when a pot is full of roots instead of soil and you need to repot.

I am so happy to hear that somebody else is competitive with inanimate objects. I feel that they’re out to get me, and when I win it makes me feel great.

OMG I love the Balloon light! The Pillows are so fun! Use them on your patio! Spray them with fabric waterproofing…..They’d look so cute by the pool!
