What You’ll Need:

Don’t you just love projects that do not require a treasure hunt to find the materials needed? You might have the materials you need for this sewing project on hand, but just in case you need to do a little shopping, I have linked some of the items below.

How To Make A Floor Pillow

The first step on this how to make a floor pillow sewing tutorial is to lay out the fabric, doubled. Use a circular item or a pattern made with poster board to cut the item out. Use the rotary cutter or scissor and cut all the way around the edges.

Pro Tip: The Best way to make the circle is to fold the fabric where it is the largest. Then use an item like a tray, bowl, or larger circle to cut out the circle in the fabric. Two other ways the circle can be done is by using a measuring tape to measure the middle and with pencil and string draw out a circle. The last way is to draw out a circle on poster board, cut it out, then use it to cut the fabric.

Next, you are going to place the two pieces of fabric with the right sides facing each other. Take the belting piece and measure it to the size you would like the handle to be.

Now place the handle where the loop is in the inside and the edges are pointing out.

Next up on this how to make a floor pillow sewing tutorial, you are going to clip the handle in place. There have been times I didn’t clip the handles and was just going to eyeball it, well let me just say that my project didn’t have handles. So clip the handle in place so you don’t forget either.

Now you are going to clip around the entire pillow leaving one space open. This space is left open for you to turn the fabric right side out, otherwise, you will have to rip your seam and start the sewing over.

Now on this how to make a floor pillow sewing tutorial, we are getting to a fun part! Sewing! Sew along the edge of the pillow circle leaving a space about 2 inches wide, open for flipping the fabric right side out.

Pro Tip: I like to backstitch on the belting handles just to make them more secure for handling. If you have kids, then those handles will take a beating.

Next up you are going to flip the fabric right side out through the hole you left open. Now grab your poly-fil and stuff the pillow full! You can stuff it to the desire you prefer.

For the final step in this how to make a floor pillow sewing tutorial, you’ll simply stitch the hole closed on the machine or if you prefer by hand once you have added the poly-fil. The round floor pillow is now ready for plenty of floor fun!

What a great fun and functional sewing project that was! I love quick and easy sewing tutorials that don’t take for than 1-2 hours. These are perfect for a rainy afternoon, during nap time, or when the mood strikes. Another great thing about these Floor Pillows is that they make excellent gifts for friends and family. They don’t take a long time and materials are minimal. I try to always keep a few on hand for just that occasion. I can’t wait to see what all you have made and the fabric pattern and colors you have chosen to do this tutorial! I recently saw one with butterflies and it reminds me of how much I love spring!
