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!
Silhouette machine
Heat N Bond Ultra Hold
Green & White Damask Fabric
Button penny (see President’s Day pillow for penny how-to)
Canvas or Dropcloths
12” x 16” pillow form
Scissors
Iron
Ironing Board
Needle

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.”
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.
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.
4. I ironed that onto my canvas fabric. I thought adding a little lucky penny was a cute embellishment.
5. I just made an easy fold over enclosure on the back.
