Smocked Pillows
I found this great little Coats and Clark’s give away sheet from 1962. It’s instructions on how to make Smocked Gingham Pillows.
They have a pretty effect and are easy to do. You just smock the gingham fabric, assemble and stuff.
Gingham Fabric
They aren’t meant to be slip covers. With no iron cottons and Dacron stuffing, you should be able to throw the entire pillow in the washing machine and have it come out good as new.
Use wash n’ wear gingham with 1 inch checks. It takes one yard of fabric for each pillow.
Just follow the easy directions and before you know it you’ll have pretty accents for your home.
