Pillow-letter - step-by-step instruction

First you need to make a pattern on paper, since my letter is symmetrical you can make a pattern half the pillow, as shown in the photo.

We fold the fabric of the front part in half, apply a pattern, circle.

Cut, do the above again andwe get 2 identical parts - this is the front part and the back of our letter-pillow. For the lateral part, cut the line 10-15 cm, depending on the desired width, we have - 15, taking into account the addition to the seams.

Please note: for convenience and to ensure that the edges of the fabric are not separated, I advise you to bend the edges of the cut out parts by 5 mm 2 times and iron it, as is shown in the video.

Then, you need to sew parts with temporary stitches. This stage can be seen on the video.

Please note: the seams of temporary seams should be contrasted to the fabric, and the seams themselves at the maximum distance from the edge, but not beyond the bent edges.

The stitched letter can be seen on the photo.

To the note: places like "a hole in the letter A, you should sew only to the front, and to the back sew only at the very end of the work.

Next, sew on the prepared seams on the machine, or manually, as it is more convenient, but so as not to touch the temporary stitches, since they are then removed.
