How To Sew Easy Flag Pillows For Independence Day

Want to up your patriotic game for the Fourth of July? Make these pillows! Here’s how to sew easy flag pillows for Independence Day!

The past few days, I have been dedicated to working outside.  Of course, our projects are a plenty, and I feel that I need to crank out as many things on my list as soon as possible.  I don’t know if this reason is because I feel the warm weather might get ripped away, or because my project list seems to grow by the hour.  But one thing I do know is that we do like to sit on our porches and entertain dear friends.

Even if you’ve only known me for a hot minute, you’ve already gathered that I love decorative pillows. I have them displayed on pretty much every chair and bench we have outside. To up the patriotic game, I decided to make a couple American flag pillows like the ones I saw at a craft fair a few years ago.

These pillows are easy to sew for even a non-sewing-machine-savvy gal like me.

How To Sew Easy Flag Pillows For Independence Day

I had some ticking striped fabric on hand, which alone is kind of boring.  So, I found these little flags, that we seem to have a bazillion of, and cut 3 off of their sticks.

I cut the fabric the size that I wanted the pillows to be, and placed the flag in the center. A quick zig zag stitch around the flag and a pat on the back for figuring out how to even do that, and I was ready to stitch the pillow together.

Zip. Zip. Put the pillow insert inside and stitched up the bottom and I was in business.

These chairs weren’t empty anymore and I have 3 more pillows to add to our inventory.
