<p>While stumbling through a geek website one afternoon, I chanced upon a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_(file_format)">RSS</a> pillow for sale. Instead of just taking 10 mins and 30 bucks to buy it online, I don&#8217;t know what posses me to actually make it from scratch!</p>
<p><img class="sided" src="http://blog.angelaleowgray.com/images/090616-1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Since I was feeling poorly over the weekend, I made use of my &#8216;home&#8217; time and dusted off the <a href="http://www.singerco.com/">singer</a>. Surprised myself. Still remembered how to use the sewing machine!</p>
<p><img class="sided" src="http://blog.angelaleowgray.com/images/090616-2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>I was initially going to sew JUST the RSS pillow, but I ended up making a <a href="http://twitter.com/angelaleowgray">twitter</a> one as well. I sourced the images online, printed it and got to work.</p>
<p><img class="sided" src="http://blog.angelaleowgray.com/images/090616-6.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s the material list:</strong><br />
- Fabric of your choice (I used felt because I couldn&#8217;t find the right colours in jersey)<br />
- Matching coloured thread<br />
- Hobby fill<br />
- Pins<br />
- Fabric scissors<br />
- Sewing machine if you have one</p>
<p><img class="sided" src="http://blog.angelaleowgray.com/images/090616-3.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s actually pretty simple to make:</strong><br />
1. Cut out 2 pieces of fabric to the chosen size including the seam allowance<br />
2. Cut out your logo, sew it on the front side of pillow<br />
3. Place the 2 pieces of fabric with right sides together. Pin and stitch around the 4 corners and 3 sides, leaving an opening in the centre of the remaining side big enough to fill with hobby fill<br />
4. Turn the cover right side out, Stuff it firmly and then hand stitch the opening closed</p>
<p><img class="sided" src="http://blog.angelaleowgray.com/images/090616-4.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Although it took me ages to do, I must admit, it was extremely gratifying to see the final product. </p>
<p><img class="sided" src="http://blog.angelaleowgray.com/images/090616-5.jpg" alt="" /><br />
Shall bring it to work tomorrow for my chair <img src='http://blog.angelaleowgray.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>*edit<br />
Just realised i should have rotated the RSS pillow the right way round before taking the photo.</strong></p>
