| Light tulip centered |
I had seen a pillow Susan Woodcock made and had posted directions on it. The leftover fabric from the office valance seemed like a good fabric to try this new to me design.
 |
| Pattern made |
I made the pattern with pattern paper, following her directions. Then I cut two squares of the fabric, centering a different tulip for each side.
 |
| Cutting the fabric |
I pinned the pattern to the fabric squares that I had placed right sides together. After cutting the face fabric I pinned it to squares of lining fabric and then serged around the edges.

Then I cut small snips at the marks I needed to make the pleats.

| Pleat markings |
Once again following the directions I pinned in the first pleats and then brought those to the center snip.

| First pleats pinned |
I stitched across the corners to hold everything in place. I then made covered cord and sewed it to one of the pieces.

| Cord sewn on |
I then placed the two pieces together and sewed around, leaving an opening for turning. I stuffed in a feather/down pillow form and sewed the opening closed by hand.

| Corner detail |
I like how it all turned out, I may need to make some more of these.
