A pillow in the shape of a delicate rose, which we will make with our own hands in a step-by-step selection with patterns and informative photos, at first glance may seem quite difficult. However, detailed videos They will help you better navigate the sewing process, and the master class will completely dispel any uncertainty! Get to work!

How to sew a rose pillow with your own hands with patterns and photos: rose garden

There are several dozen, if not hundreds of species of roses in nature. Of course, a pillow in the shape of a rose cannot be classified as a type of vegetation, but even here the commendable variety pleases the eye.

In addition to being quite beautiful, such a pillow is also practical - after all, you will need old T-shirts to make it. They are cut into strips, which are then twisted into roses, each of which is then fixed and sewn to the base. In addition to T-shirts, old bed linen can be a suitable material - it is both soft and colorful. Quite painstaking work, but the result looks tempting.

The second version of the rose pillow is using an existing pillowcase and felt. The felt is cut into circles, each of which is then cut into a spiral, and twisted clockwise from the tip to the middle into a rose. Then the flowers are also sewn onto the pillowcase. Of course, this is not the fastest sewing option, but such a pillow looks quite elegant, and again, leftovers and multi-colored pieces of felt can be used.

For such a pillow you will also need a base and felt, as well as petal templates. Having cut out all the details, they are sewn onto the base, giving the product volume. It is convenient to work with felt - it is easy to cut, pierce with a needle, and its edges do not require additional processing, since they do not crumble.

Another option is perhaps the simplest to implement - it will require fabric 2-3 meters long and one and a half meters wide. Thin padding polyester is suitable as a filler. It needs to be placed between layers of fabric folded in half, and all three layers should be stitched together. Then twist this strip in a spiral from the tip to the middle and secure it.

Materials.

The fabric you use directly depends on the “type” of rose that you like. By and large, there are no restrictions, there are recommendations. If you are going to make a rose, each petal of which is itself a small pillow, you should not take a transparent fabric like chiffon, since the rose petals will contain filler - holofiber or padding polyester. The second piece of advice is that if you are not a very experienced seamstress, then it is better not to use difficult-to-process materials like satin, organza and silk. Despite the fact that they are very beautiful, working with them is not as easy as we would like. Mixed fabrics, crepe-satin, denim are the most optimal fabrics for such a product. Old cotton T-shirts can serve as training material if your sewing skills are limited or you are afraid of ruining good material.

To work you will need:

• Fabric in two colors per meter
• Filling – holofiber or padding polyester
• Finishing braid (braid or bias tape)
• Scissors, chalk, pins
• Petal patterns
• Sewing machine

You don’t need any patterns for sewing such a pillow, but a template for the petals and details will certainly come in handy.

Work process. First stage. Each petal is cut out in duplicate from different fabrics. Place the fabrics with right sides facing each other and trace according to the template. For a rose pillow you need 8 upper petals and 8 lower ones, 4 from each fabric. You will also need two strips of fabric 7 cm wide and 1 m long for the core.

Second stage. Fold each petal blank from layers of fabric. A braid is attached along the edge of the front side of the upper and lower petals of a smaller size.

After this, the petals with edging are carefully adjusted to their second halves. Turn the petals inside out, align and cut off excess threads. Bend each petal in half in height, and mark the middle - with a pencil or by making a cut.

Third stage. Stuff the finished parts with holofiber, the edge is sewn together with a simple stitch on a machine. Cut out a strip 7 cm wide per meter, stitch with piping, fill with holofiber and stitch. Don’t stuff the filler too tightly, it’s better to be looser, otherwise you won’t be able to roll the strip into a beautiful rosette. Roll this strip into a roll and secure with a hand stitch.

Fourth stage. Base. Cut out two circles with a diameter of about 30 cm. Connect them with their right sides facing each other, place them on padding polyester, and sew without closing the seam. Turn it right side out through the remaining hole and sew it up.

Mark the center on this circle, and secure the two lower petals at an equal distance from each other. Gather them into neat folds, secure with safety pins or stitches and sew on a machine.

Also attach two more petals and stitch. The upper petals are sewn in the same way, but in checkerboard pattern relative to the bottom row. A rolled strip is sewn into the center. The pillow is ready.

Video materials for clarity

Flower pillows will become a bright accent in the interior. See how a pillow in the shape of a rose, chamomile and peony is sewn. Ideas for beginners and experts are presented.

Flower pillows for beginners

Look how amazing such items look, add comfort and decorate the space.

For this job you will need:

• soft fabric that holds its shape, such as fleece;
• padding polyester;
• ballpen;
• 4 round stencils of different sizes and one large one;
• zigzag scissors;
• glue or needle and thread.

Place a large stencil on the fabric, cut out first one circle on it, then the second. Measure the arc length of this workpiece. This length will be the strip of fabric that you stitch between these circles; the piece will become the side of the pillow.

Do not stitch all the way, leave a hole to fill the pillow with padding polyester. Then sew it up on your arms. Find the center of the product to align the centers of the round templates with it. First, attach the small one, outline it, then, one by one, the other three. Finish the edges with zigzag scissors.

Here's how to make the flower pillow. You will have to cut out the petals for her with your own hands. On one side they are semicircular, on the other they are straight. They can be attached with glue or sewn on the hands with a needle and thread.

Start from the outer edge. When attaching the petal, make a fold on its straight part, which is opposite to the semicircular one. Having completed the first row, move on to the second. In this case, the petals of each subsequent row are located above these elements of the previous one.

You can decorate the center of the pillow by sewing or gluing a core made of fabric of a different color here. If you know how to knit, complete this element using this technique.

To make the petals, cut 4 blanks from green fabric. Sew them along the edge in pairs. Stitch along the veins to define them. Finish the edges with zigzag scissors and you can place the pillow on your bed or sofa to make these areas irresistible.

This product would make a wonderful gift, just like the next one. A flower pillow will make your interior unique. If previous model seemed a little complicated to you, check out the very simple version.

These pillows are made from two types of fabric. The base is made of thick, plain cotton, and the decorations for it need to be made of red fleece. To make it easier, check out the list of what you need, these are:

• light cotton fabric, such as linen;
• red fleece;
• black buttons;
• needle;
• threads;
• synthetic filler.

Equipment you will need:

• two circles of different diameters for a template;
• sewing machine;
• scissors;
• ruler;
• chalk or simple pencil.

Decide on the size of the product. If you have a pillow in finished form 48 cm long, 30 cm wide, then the main fabric should have a size of 100x32 cm (taking into account sewing allowances). Cut out such a rectangle from cotton fabric and place it in front of you. Let's start by decorating the front side.

To do this, you need to cut out circles of two sizes; you can circle a glass, lid or other round object.

We connect these blanks in pairs so that the small one is on top of the large one. Place them on the surface to be decorated and sew a button into the center of each flower.

Using a ruler and chalk or pencil, draw straight lines, then stitch along them with dark thread to indicate the stems of the flowers.

You can make stems using thin braid or lace. These ribbons need to be cut into fragments of a certain length and stitched by hand or on a machine to the base.

All that remains is to fill the product with padding polyester so that you get a flower pillow. It is very pleasant to create such things with your own hands.

Master classes for experienced seamstresses

Having familiarized yourself with the previous ideas, it will not be difficult for you to implement the next one.

To do this, take:

• red soft cloth;
• compass or template for a circle;
• scissors;
• thread and needle;
• cardboard;
• filler.

This pillow consists of two rectangles; what are their sizes, this is its finished size. But you need to cut the fabric with seam allowances on all sides.

On a piece of cardboard, using a compass or attaching an object of the appropriate shape, draw a circle. Cut it out. Applying to the fabric, trace with a ballpoint pen. Cut out these circles.

Now each one needs to be folded in a certain way. To do this, take the first circle, connect its opposite edges to form a semicircle. Fold in half again to make a quarter circle. Now you have the most painstaking work ahead of you - you need to sew these blanks onto the outer part of the pillow.

If you don't have enough patience, decorate only the strip in the center.

Place the petals as close to each other as possible to create a composition like this.

Having folded the front and back parts of the pillow with their right sides facing each other, stitch on three sides. After the fourth, turn the product out. You will sew this side on your hands. You can sew a zipper here so you can take this beautiful cover off, wash it, and then put it back on.

Here's how to make a pillow with your own hands so that it looks like a daisy.

Take for needlework:

• variegated plain fabric that matches the color;
• thread and needle;
• padding polyester;
• scissors.

The good thing about this flower pillow is that it doesn’t require a sewing machine. Therefore, even if you do not have such a unit, you can still sew this wonderful thing.

For five petals you will need 10 identical blanks.

If you want the façade and back side the products were different colors, and you got, as it were, two pillows, then cut out five petals from fabric of one color, another 5, taking another.

Sew each petal on the wrong side, leaving a gap at the bottom. Turn the workpiece right side out and stuff it with padding polyester.

Cut a circle of fabric, the diameter of which should be 2 times the diameter of the core. Having sewn this circle along the edge with a basting stitch, tighten it, but not yet completely, but so as to fill the core with padding polyester. Now you can tighten the thread and tie a couple of knots to secure it.

Here's how to make the pillow next. On the front side, sew the bottom of the first petal, without removing the thread, stitch it with the second. So sew all the petals in a circle. Place the center of the flower in the center and secure. Turn the pillow over to the reverse side. Sew the second core here. Exciting work completed with excellent results!

If you wish, you can make another pillow with a flower in the shape of a daisy.

This sample has single-piece petals. Enlarge this pattern. Where the dotted lines are indicated is the junction of the petals. For the front and back pieces, you need to cut out identical parts from the fabric. Don’t forget to cut out the core of the flower from a fabric that differs in color. You will sew it into the center of the daisy on one side, and on the other you need to sew the same detail.

Fill the product with padding polyester through the remaining hole and sew up this gap.

Here's what the pillow will look like once you've made it.

This can be placed on a chair to make it even more comfortable to sit in. Flowers will add bright accents and remind you of a colorful summer during the cold season.

Decorative element rose: master class

When creating such things, it is impossible to forget about the queen of flowers. Rose will give you wonderful ideas, for example, this one.

Cutting out the petals is very easy. They come in three sizes and are made from squares. We cut everything so that we get pentagons. Connect the lower opposite corners, secure with a stapler or using a needle and thread.

You can glue the petals, but then such a pillow cannot be washed. Cut out a circle of the required diameter, we will sew the largest petals to it first, to the outer edge. As you understand, you can also glue them or attach them using a stapler.

We decorate the second tier with medium-sized petals. The smallest ones will be located closer to the center.

Using zigzag scissors, cut out a circle; it needs to be attached to the center.

This pillow is not stuffed with padding polyester. But if you wish, you can do this by stitching another circle on the back side and placing the filler inside.

You can make a rose in another way by twisting a strip of fabric or lace in the shape of its petals.

To make a similar pillow, take:

• fabric, lace or ribbons to match;
• padding polyester;
• pins;
• scissors.

Cut a circle out of fabric the size of your pillow. You can decorate it with a strip of the same material. But then you need to cut a ribbon out of it, fold it in half lengthwise, and stitch it. This kind of work is more troublesome, so it is better to decorate the pillow with ready-made lace, satin or cotton braid.

Start grinding it to the circle blank, from its outer part, gradually moving towards the middle. In this case, the tape is arranged in a spiral.

The master class explains further how a rose pillow is made. Having decorated its front part, you need to attach a second circle, aligning these blanks with their front sides. Sew these two parts together, leaving a gap for stuffing the product with padding polyester.

Sew this edge and admire how wonderful the rose pillow turned out.

But these are not all ideas; look at what other similar products can be.

If you like this flower pillow, then take a fabric of a suitable color. You need to cut out a few details from it.

The core consists of two parts. Also, each petal should have a back and front side.

Please note that on the pattern the inner and outer are different sizes. This is necessary in order to create folds at the bottom of the lower petals, then these details will look realistic.

1. Remove the core of the flower; we will not stuff it with padding polyester. This blank consists of an outer and an inner part, we sew them on the wrong side, and turn this part inside out.
2. Let's take care of the petals. Place the inner and outer sides right sides together and stitch on all sides except the bottom. Fill the petal with padding polyester and decorate the others as well.
3. Having sewn the first one at the bottom on your hands, attach the second one to it on the side. Sew it at the bottom. Five petals make up the lower tier, and four make up the upper tier.
4. Place the twisted core in the center and secure it with a thread and needle.

How to make a peony-shaped flower pillow from fabric?

A flower pillow can be not only in the form of a chamomile, a rose, but also resemble other wonderful plants.

Sew on petals to decorate a regular small pillow or sew a new one. To do this, they must first be cut out and cut out. The petals resemble a semicircle. For each you need 2 blanks, which are sewn in pairs on the wrong side.

Now you need to attach them to a pillow or to a rectangle of fabric from which you will sew. If you are decorating a ready-made pillow, then you will have to grind it by hand. If you are sewing a new one, then use a machine.

We start with the outer circle. Lay out 8 petals, stitch them, then make the second tier, it consists of 6 blanks. They are laid in a checkerboard pattern, moving towards the center to fill this entire part with petals.

Let's make the core. To do this, you need to cut out several circles of the same size, fold each one in half, in half again, fix it, and sew it up. Now these blanks are ground together; they should fit snugly against each other.

Look what a wonderful creation you will get.

If you liked the master class on a peony in which it turned into a pillow, then check out another one, here the flower is made not of white, but of red fabric.

For needlework you will need:

• red and other colored fabric;
• cup;
• scissors;
• pencil.

You need a glass such that the bottom is smaller than the neck. If there is no such thing, then take two different volumes.

Attach them to the red canvas, cut out 30 large and 20 small circles.

Draw a large circle on the fabric that will become the pillowcase - this is the size of the peony. Fold large pieces in half and stitch them to it. Then, in a checkerboard pattern, sew on the other petals.

All you have to do is sew the pillowcase until the end and enjoy another finished piece. You can make another thing for your home from thin white felt.

Cut out the petals. Make a fold in the center of each, securing it with a glue gun. Using it, fix them to the base.

How to sew a "Rose" pillow


Make a pattern template (photo with dimensions for a 56 cm pillow).


For one pillow you will need:
Satin crepe (2 different colors, 90 cm each).
Sintepon 3-3.5 m (I like “Alaska” better).
The braid is at least 2-2.5 cm wide, 15 meters (I use galloon).
Thick nylon threads and regular threads in the color of the fabric.
A needle for stitching, it is better to take a strong one with a large eye.

Lay out the fabric in two layers at once, right sides up (both wrong sides facing inward). We transfer the pattern of the petals. We need to translate 6 large petals and 5 small ones. Cut it out.


This is what we get.

We begin to sew the braid in the following order: visually divide the braid in half and sew it with a regular stitch to the side of the fabric, which will then be the lower part of the petal. Try not to stretch the braid, as it will give the effect of a wavy edge.

We turn the petal over and sew the braid using a zigzag stitch, carefully overlapping and covering the seam. 11 petal blanks for the bud are ready.

We start stuffing with padding polyester. We finely tear the synthetic polyester and put it into the blanks.
We sew the edge with a regular basting stitch.

We begin assembling circles (small petals with small ones, large ones with large ones). We apply the second petal to the middle of the first and stitch it with strong nylon threads with a basting stitch, so that later it can be easily pulled together, then the third to the middle of the second, and so on. We connect the end of the last petal with the beginning of the first. We tighten it so that the screed of the circles is uniform for both the large and small circles.

This way. The next step is to cut out the leaves (this time we fold the fabric as usual, with the right side inward, because then we will turn them inside out). The shape can be different, but the height is at least 30 cm, and the width is at least 16-17 cm. We put them on the padding polyester, cut them out and stitch them together with the padding polyester. Turn it inside out. You may have leaves different colors(both in the color of the lower fabric, and green and gold, it all depends on your imagination).

Along the edges of the leaves we sew a zigzag stitch with the largest step, and with a medium step sew the veins inside the leaf. Sew to a large circle. We assemble all the parts manually using strong nylon thread using a basting stitch in not very large steps.
The most interesting point connecting two circles. We sew with double nylon thread using a basting stitch, slightly higher (about 2-3 mm) than the gathering thread. Make sure that there is no visible connecting seam between the petals of the upper and lower circle. This is very important! The thread must be pulled very tightly!

We cut out the strip (the middle of the rose) together with the padding polyester, but here we will have the padding polyester inside two layers of fabric, because we will sheathe it in the same way as the petals. This is what the finished middle of the rose looks like.

We collect our workpiece into a so-called bundle. And we sew it with a basting stitch to the upper parts of the petals of the small circle (grabbing 1-1.5 cm above the assembly points).



We cut out a circle in order to cover the back part along with the padding polyester, and tighten it a little in a circle. We stuff it with padding polyester. We sew with a basting stitch to the petals of the large circle just above the place of the tie by about 2 cm. This way we achieve the strength of fastening the petals to each other.


Well, our beauty is ready! Well, isn't it beauty?

Decorate pillowcases with plant prints

An original way to decorate a pillowcase with a floral design is to transfer prints of living fresh grass and leaves onto it. A product with this design will be unique and one of a kind. It will also warm you up on winter evenings with thoughts of warm summer.

To work you will need:

• natural light fabric;
• freshly picked plants;
• hammer;
• scissors;
• parchment, preferably siliconized for baking.

Fern, plantain, and clover are perfect for prints. Pick the plant you need, spread it on the fabric and cover with parchment. Beat it very hard with a hammer so that the juice comes out of the leaves, which is absorbed into the fabric and forms an imprint. Remember: Plants need to be picked on a hard, flat surface.

Experiment with different leaves, stems, and placement to get the look you want.

Pillows in the shape of flowers give the room a special charm. They look impressive on the sofa and armchair. Sleeping on these, however, is not very comfortable, but such products are not intended for sleeping, they have a purely decorative function. You will learn how to sew a rose pillow from our article.

What can be made from old things?

So, DIY flower pillow - the master class begins. If you are taking up needlework for the first time, it is better not to rush to the store for expensive, eye-catching fabric, but to look at what you have in your closet. Many women, who are not inclined to limit themselves in clothing, sometimes have a closet full of things that they don’t want to wear, but it’s a pity to throw away. It is quite possible that there will be:

• an old but strong silk or chiffon dress;
• a disused faux velvet skirt;
• A beautiful but uncomfortable synthetic blouse.

Now is the time to give them a second life by turning them into something spectacular for your home.

Preparing the fabric

In order for an item to be used in a new capacity, it must be processed:

1. Carefully cut off all buttons, snaps and hooks.
2. Remove the threads.
3. Spread the product along the seams, not forgetting about darts, cuffs, collar and other small details.
4. What you are guaranteed to never need is better to throw away immediately.
5. Wash the pieces of fabric thoroughly and iron them if necessary.
6. If there are damaged areas, remove them.

Important! Regardless of whether you buy new fabric or decide to use old clothes, the material must meet certain requirements:

• it should be thin, but dense and not very crumbling;
• It is better to take a plain fabric or with a small pattern, otherwise the shape will be difficult to see.

In this case, the ability to change sizes after washing does not play a big role, although it is useful to wash or iron new cotton or linen through a damp cloth before work.

What else do you need?

To make your own flower pillow effective and of high quality, you will need a few more things:

• sewing machine;
• needles suitable for this fabric;
• sewing threads of appropriate quality;
• contrasting color threads for basting;
• needle for hand sewing;
• padding polyester or thin foam rubber;
• braid - matching or contrasting;
• cardboard for template;
• ruler;
• compass;
• ballpen.

Braid

The braid can be of two types - thin for processing the edges of the petals and wide for trimming the middle. You can do something else with the petals - for example, trim them with narrow lace. As for the quantity, you will need about 15 m.

Sintepon and threads

You need about 3 m of padding polyester. You can, of course, stuff the petals with thin sheet foam rubber, but this option is worse - over time, this material begins to release substances that are not very beneficial to health. Sintepon is absolutely neutral, so your DIY rose pillow will serve you until the fabric falls apart.

Important! Parts stuffed with this material can be arranged in assemblies, and this is very important for this particular product.

It is better to select threads for a specific fabric. It is more convenient to sew cotton or linen with cotton, everything else with synthetic ones.

Important! If you need to connect several parts from different materials– synthetic threads (not nylon) are preferable.

Pillow options

A DIY rose pillow is made from several petals. Their number depends on the size of the product:

• A small pillow (for example, for a doll's corner or a crib) consists of 5-6 petals laid out in one layer.
• A sofa product consists of 8 or even 12 identical elements.

Important! In both cases, they are attached to the middle - a two-layer circle.

DIY rose pillow pattern

Any sewing begins with cutting. A decorative pillow in this sense is no exception. There are only two cutting options:

• all petals are identical in shape and size;
• the pillow consists of two layers, and the upper petals are smaller than the lower ones.

In the first case, you will need one template, in the second - two, but they differ only in size. By the way, the same principle is used to sew a do-it-yourself daisy pillow, a poppy, or any other flower - they will differ only in the shape of the petals.

Important! You can also make petals different shapes, but it is important that one side, which is sewn to the middle, is straight.

Making a template

You can, of course, find a rose petal pattern on the Internet or in a handicraft book, enlarge it to the desired size and cut it out. But there is nothing difficult about drawing it with your own hands:

1. Place a sheet of approximately A4 size cardboard on the table with the short side facing you.
2. Set aside 3 cm from the upper right corner.
3. Find the middle of the top short side and mark it with a dot.
4. Set aside 8 cm from the upper left corner and make another mark.
5. Connect these three points with an arc.
6. From the lower right corner, set aside 1 cm upward.
7. Connect this point to the lower left corner with a smooth line.
8. Connect the same point to the beginning of the upper arc, that is, to the point that is located on the long left side at a distance of 8 cm from the corner.
9. Cut out the template along the outline.

Important! For a smaller petal, first cut a rectangle, for example, reducing a standard sheet by ⅓ vertically and horizontally. It's okay if the petals are slightly different in shape.

Center template

It's even easier than cutting a petal. You only need to cut out a circle:

• If you made the petals from an A4 sheet, a circle with a diameter of 10-15 cm is suitable for the middle if you are sewing a rose.
• Chamomile will have a larger center.

There are no strict ratios here; the main thing is to maintain approximate dimensions.

Uncover

DIY decorative rose pillow - the master class continues. And it's time to cut the petals. For a small pillow, all parts of which will be sewn from the same fabric, the procedure will be as follows:

1. If the piece is large, fold it in half with the wrong side facing out.
2. Place the two pieces with right sides facing each other.
3. Trace the template strictly along the outline.
4. Cut out the parts, making allowances of 1-1.5 cm along all sections.
5. Cut out padding from padding polyester - from 2 to 6 for each petal, no allowances are needed.

Important! Cut out the middle from the same fabric using a round template, not forgetting about the allowances. There can be more layers of padding polyester to make this part look more voluminous.

Pillow with two layers of petals

In this case, you need to cut out 4 large petals and 4 smaller ones - 8 parts in total. In all other respects, the cutting order is exactly the same as for the first option. The smaller the pillow, the thinner the petals will be. The lower ones can be made more voluminous; for the upper ones, 2-4 layers of padding are enough.

Important! If you use foam rubber, only one layer is placed in all the petals and in the middle.

How to make a rose pillow if all the parts are already there?

Now the time has come to design each element in order to then collect them all together.

Middle

Let's start, perhaps, from the middle:

1. Cut a piece of wide braid about 3 times the circumference.
2. Sew along the long edge with a basting stitch and make gathers so that the length matches the edge of the workpiece.
3. Iron the allowances of both parts to the wrong side, if necessary, make cuts so that the fabric does not bulge.
4. To the part that will be on top, baste the braid along the wrong side.
5. Fold the parts with the wrong sides facing each other, placing the padding polyester between them so that it is under the allowances.
6. Baste the design at a distance of 1.5 cm from the edge so that you can insert the petals between the layers.

Petals

Each petal is processed almost the same as the middle, but there are differences:

1. Place the petal pieces with right sides facing each other, aligning all the cuts.
2. Baste them along the rounded edge and stitch them together.
3. In several places, cut the seam allowance close to the seam.
4. Turn the workpiece inside out.
5. Press the seam allowances along the open edge inward.
6. Insert padding polyester.
7. Sew a basting stitch along the open edge.

Important! If you decide to trim the edges with braid or lace, the trim should be placed between the layers so that it protrudes from the front side in an even line.

Assembly

Before sewing the flower pillow into a single piece, lightly pull the basting together. Then proceed like this:

1. Bring the open edge of the petal between the layers of the center.
2. Place the remaining petals in the same way, tightening the basting if necessary and arranging beautiful gatherings.
3. Sew the entire structure along the edge of the center using a zigzag or decorative stitch.
