Looking for something to do with all those Christmas ribbons? If you are then check out the Christmas ribbon cushion tutorial that Ros Coffey has on her RosMadeMe Blog blog. I just love it.

A Zip-free Christmas Ribbon Cushion Tutorial

Here's what Ros had to say about her tutorial: I love ribbons, for this I blame my mother and her putting my hair in plaits when I was a child.

This cushion is actually rather easy but looks very impressive.

Ros's Bio:I live by the sea, in Essex, in Leigh-on-sea. I have been making things since I was a child, earliest memories were embroidering squares of binca matting, making felt egg cups and ripping back my knitting when my sister had picked up a dropped stitch... yep, it really did have to be all my own work! I am a dreadful hoarder, with stashes of wool and fabric hidden around my house, together with the projects that I have not yet finished. I am currently making cushions, quilted, appliqued, stencilled... actually just anything that I will enjoy crafting.

Woodland Santa Pillow Pattern By Kaaren Johnston of The Painted Quilt

I have several different Santa collections that I bring out at the holiday season. There's my tall Santa's collection, my mini Santa's collection, my Santa dolls. What I don't have is a collection of Santa pillows. Given that Kaaren Johnston has a wonderful pattern on her The Painted Quilt blog showing you how to make a woodland Santa pillow I may just have to start that collection of Santa pillows. How about you?.

First Friday Freebie #23 - Woodland Santa

Here's what Kaaren had to say about her pattern: Yesterday we flipped the calendar over to December and today is the First Friday of the month…already! If this is your first visit here, welcome! You’ve picked the right day to stop by because on the First Friday of every month, I release a new Freebie design for you to make and enjoy.

So in keeping with the season, allow me to present to you my Woodland Santa. This month, I decided to make a pillow out of mine.

Flying Scarecrow Pillow Free E-Pattern By Kaaren Johnston of The Painted Quilt

Who can resist a scarecrow - especially a flying one? Not me. Sounds like a perfect Fall decoration to me. So, I was happy to see that Kaaren Johnston had a wonderful e-pattern on her The Painted Quilt blog showing you how to make a flying scarecrow pillow. This is definitely going on my Fall decorating "to do" list.

First Friday Freebie #26 - Flying Scarecrow

Here's what Kaaren had to say about her pattern: It’s the First Friday of the month, time to release my 26th FFF design for you to make and enjoy.

I’m not quite sure whether I’m too early or too late with this design for us here in the Northern Hemisphere…but for our friends in the Southern Hemisphere who are just starting their autumn season, this one’s for you gals! For the rest of us, it’s never too early to get an early start on making things to add to our fall decorating stuff…right?

This month’s design is called Flying Scarecrow.

Let's Quilt While We're Ahead - The Log Cabin Cushion Free Tutorial By Ros Coffey of RosMadeMe Blog

I just LOVE decorating with pillows and love changing them for different seasons and holidays - or for no reason at all. If you do, too then you'll be pleased to know that Ros Coffey has a tutorial on her RosMadeMe Blog blog showing you how to make a wonderful log cabin cushion. Have fun decorating.

Here's what Ros had to say about her tutorial: We have been doing quite a few projects recently that have used some quilting now it's time for us to venture into some proper quilting blocks and I thought we could start with a nice easy pattern, Log Cabin which is also known as Cathedral Steps. It is a great block to start with as it gets you used to cutting and sewing accurately. I know that the purists may say but you are using a machine but sometimes you need some instant gratification and later we will move on to hand sewing quilting blocks... but lets learn to walk before we embark on a marathon.

Ros's Bio:I live by the sea, in Essex, in Leigh-on-sea. I have been making things since I was a child, earliest memories were embroidering squares of binca matting, making felt egg cups and ripping back my knitting when my sister had picked up a dropped stitch... yep, it really did have to be all my own work!

Quick and Easy Throw Pillows From A Bedsheet Free Tutorial by Kelly Oribine of The Complete Guide To Imperfect Homemaking

As far as I'm concerned you can never have enough throw pillows. At least I can't. If you're like me then you'll want to check out Kelly Orbine's tutorial for quick and easy throw pillows from a bedsheet.

Tutorial: Quick and Easy throw pillows from a bedsheet

Here's what Kelly had to say about her tutorial: Before I start, I just want to say: this is not a sewing tutorial. We are going to sew, but this is not a sewing tutorial. I don't do those.

Sewing tutorials are best left to people who measure, and press and serge and know what all those doo-hickeys that came with their sewing machine are for.

We aren't going to do any measuring. Or pinning. Or serging.

Please respect Kelly's TERMS OF USE: The content of my tutorials belongs to me. You may not use my images or text without crediting me. If you would like to share something you enjoyed on The Complete Guide to Imperfect Homemaking on your own website, you may use one picture and /or a small selection of text, placed in quotation marks, credited and linked to me. I work hard to create my tutorials. Don't steal my work!
