Boo! Applique Pillow Design

Fall is officially here, and if you've been around a bit, you know this is my absolute favorite time of year to sew!

This post contains affiliate links to products I recommend. I do make a portion off any you may purchase. See full disclosure here.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to create for because it is just plain fun. I love bringing spooky charm and playful colors into our home!

If you have been around here for a while, you already know I am totally obsessed with handmade pillows. Accent pillows are the absolute best project. They are fast, budget-friendly, and instantly transform your couch for the season without taking up weeks of your time.

We have made some super fun ones together over the years, like our cozy Leaf Wreath Pillow Cover and those cute Quilted Pumpkin Pillows. Now we are adding a brand-new spooky favorite to the mix: the Halloween "BOO" Pillow.

It is fast, fun, and looks amazing on an entry bench or cozy couch.

Halloween Boo! Pillow Sewing Tutorial

Materials Needed

Step 1
Trace the BOO! letters onto Heat n Bond. Trace them reverse so they are the wrong direction.

Step 2
Cut out 2 pillow pieces, mirror images.

Step 3

Press the Heat N Bond to the wrong side of your chosen fabric design. Make sure it is pressed really well. Cut out each letter.

Press letters to the right side of one of the Boo! pillow pieces.

Step 4
Cut out a 2.5" x 44" piece in black fabric for the rim of the pillow.

If your fabric is not 44" wide, cut out two pieces of material and stitch them together. Cut a piece that is 44" long.

Step 5
With right sides together (RST), pin this strip around the outside edge of one of your pillow pattern pieces. Make sure that right sides are pinned together.

Stitch rim to the pattern pieces. Press.

Step 6
Repeat step 5 but with the opposite pillow pattern piece. Make sure to pin so that the edges are well matched with the already stitched side.

Leave a 4" opening on the bottom edge of the pillow for stuffing later.

Use scissors to clip around all the rounded edges and clip into the corners. This way when you turn your tree right side out all the corners and curves will lay flat.

Turn your pillow right side out.

Step 7
Stuff your pillow with fiber-fil until it is as firm as you would like.

Step 8
Stitch the bottom of your pillow closed using a slipstitch like in this tutorial
