I needed to change out my President’s Day pillow and update it with the current season/holiday. So I started playing around with my Silhouette machine and cut out some fabric to create a St. Patty’s Day pillow.

It also happens to be National Craft Month so it certainly fitting to get crafting!

Supplies:

Instructions:

Step 1

I found a four leaf clover image online and converted it to cut out on my Silhouette machine.

Using the CAC Pinafore font from Dafont.com I typed out the word “lucky”.

Step 2

I ironed on the Heat N Bond Ultrahold onto the back of my fabric.

Then I removed the backing and adhered it to my heavy carrier sheet.

Step 3

I cut it out with my pink cap on a 33 thickness and a speed of 3 with a double cut.

It worked okay but I did have to trim it a little.

Step 4

I ironed that onto my canvas fabric. I thought adding a little lucky penny was a cute embellishment.

Step 5

I just made an easy fold over enclosure on the back.

  8. Major cuteness, Beckie! I like the font you chose for "lucky." The little embellishment is so cute. 🙂 I'd love to have a copy of the file. How do you convert it into your Silhouette library? (BabyDuck0804-at-aol-dot-com) 🙂
