A personalized baby pillow is a fantastic gift for a new parent. It is personal and one of a kind. It will be a keepsake that will be cherished for years to come and probably passed down to the child when they are old enough to appreciate it.
There are a number of ways to personalize a baby pillow, but using embroidery may give you so many options. No matter if the baby is a boy or girl, or what kind of design you want you will be able to find an appropriate pattern.
There are couple ways you can tackle making your embroidered baby pillow. You can start from scratch, and just make the pillow itself after you've done the embroidery. This is probably the easiest approach.
You can also buy a small baby pillow at the story. To get your embroidery on the pillow you can buy a small piece of fabric, cut it into a circle or a square, whichever will match your pillow, then sew on a ruffle around the edges. Once you have this decorative piece of embroidered fabric you can sew it on to the front of your pillow.
The last option is you can buy a embroidered baby pillow kit. You can find these any number of places online, and they will contain everything you need to finish your project, including the fabric, embroidery floss, and pillow form or stuffing. If you have never attempted this type of project, this might be your best option, as the instructions will be very clear, and you will be able to follow along quite well.
If you are not going with a kit, you need to find an embroidery pattern. Before you can find a pattern you need to figure out what kind of design you want on your pillow. If you don't have any ideas, you can search online. If you just do a search for embroidery baby patterns. You will find you have many to choose from. You can get most patterns online for free. If you do not know how, or don't want to search online you can always get a book of embroidery patterns. This option will give you a whole book of ideas, and you will have them all in one place and easy to find for your next project.
If you are at a loss for a gift idea for a new baby coming into your life, why not create an embroidered baby pillow. It will be much appreciated, and even it's your first try at a sewing project it will be all that much more special.
