Equipment

  • Tape

  • Sewing machine and thread
  • Paintbrushes

What You Will Need

  • White fabric
  • Pillow insert
  • Vintage logo see post for source
  • Cricut machine

Instructions

  • First, you will need a vintage logo for your pillow. There are plenty of vintage logos perfect for grain sack pillows all over the place! So, find the one you want to use and save it to your computer. Then, upload it to your Cricut machine and Cricut Design Space.
  • Cut the logo from card stock or stencil material using your Cricut.
  • Once cut, remove all of the pieces you do not need from the stencil. Save the middles of any letters and secure with tape, so they will still be there when painting.
  • Cut the fabric to the size of your pillow leaving a bit of seam allowance. Then, use fabric paint in the color of your choice and stencil the logo on the flour sack towel.
  • Remove the stencil once you have completed painting. Then, freehand paint anywhere the tape blocked the paint.
  • Sew the pillow seams together with a sewing machine. Then, drop in your pillow form to make the grain sack pillows of your dreams!
