 Overview

Making your own chenille is very simple.  It involves sewing several layers of fabric, on the bias, in parallel lines about ½ inch apart and then slicing through all but the final 2 layers of fabric. 

For this project you will need:

1   18” x18” Pillow form 

4  Fat Quarters of Flannel(making sure they are 18” x 22”)

     *This is very forgiving project when choosing fabric colours ………you can use plaids, strips, contrasting colours with darks and lights, your top fabric will be the prominent colour!

2  Fat Quarters of homespun cotton for the foundation 

¾ meter of backing fabric 

You will also need:

  Sewing Machine

  Scissors or Chenille cutter

  Rotary Cutter

  Long ruler for marking your sew lines(or two shorter rulers butted against each other)

  Pen or Pencil

  Thread to Match the top and bottom layer of fabric
