Whale pillow tutorial

whale pillow



1.This project is a very special one, I love whales and sea creatures, I made this one for you.
You will first need your fabric, linen will do a two piece of 13" x 13" inches, then the plaid fabric any color you desire, you will need a button and thread, if you ave worked with embroiding you will know how to make the blowhole water where they spit out,  to sew around the whale , you will sew in the zigzag stitch all around very slowly and in the level 2 stitch in your sewing machine, if your a beginner, please do this by hand first. It can be done by hand to practice.
.


2.Cut your pattern like a whale you can google whale pattern to see how they look and you can draw one. Thats how I did this one. When you make your pattern and have the square piece of fabric cut in 13 x 13 inch, you will attatch the whale on the middle of the fabric, and with pins you will hold the whale applique so then you can sew on..By hand if is best for you., use the wooden ring if you need to. After you sew on the whale applique, then you need to draw the two water lines vine with a pencil and hand embroider.
3. After you embroider and sew the whale on, you have to attatch the two sides of the pillow with the outside in to sew on the together leaving a small opening on the bottom of the pillow, this opening is to fill up the pillow with the poly fillng, after the pillow is fully filled, you have to sew on the small opening together to finish the work.

4. When you have everything sewed how you see it here, then you have to get your scissors and cut on the tip of each corner of the pillow very carefully that you don't cut the stitches , this is just to make the pillow more loss by the corners, because it will look tight in the corners if you don't cut the tip , see it here in the picture.
                                        
5. Then bring the pillow inside out and iron it a little bit.
.Then you need to fill it up with your poly filling.
then just sew on the bottom where you left the opening..You can't see it here in this pic, but there in the bottom the fabric is open in a small part.
You sew that opening and your done..

  4. In this fashion my buddy Wesley Virgin's autobiography starts with this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL VIDEO.

    You see, Wesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he revealed hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" tactics that the government and others used to get everything they want.

    These are the exact same secrets tons of famous people (especially those who "come out of nothing") and elite business people used to become wealthy and famous.

    You've heard that you use less than 10% of your brain.

    Really, that's because the majority of your brain's power is UNTAPPED.

    Perhaps this conversation has even taken place INSIDE your very own brain... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's brain around 7 years ago, while driving an unlicensed, trash bucket of a vehicle without a license and on his debit card.

    "I'm so fed up with living paycheck to paycheck! When will I finally succeed?"

    You took part in those types of thoughts, am I right?

    Your own success story is waiting to be written. You need to start believing in YOURSELF.
