Subway Art Christmas Pillow Tutorial
Here’s what I did:
- I figured out the size of pillow that I wanted to make. Then I split the pillow up into a green part which is smaller and a red part which is larger. It ended up being 5 inches in height for the green and 8 inches in height for the red. Then I sewed the two pieces together.
- I decided to make an envelope back so I added 6 inches to the width of the back and cut the back in two — so the back overlaps by three inches. I sewed the pillow together.
- I used my Silhouette and Heat Transfer Vinyl for the letters. I love that stuff!
- I laid it all out on my computer and then cut it on my Silhouette.
- Then I ironed on the lettering. Note — Do NOT let the heat transfer material overlap like I did. It makes the heat transfer material stick to the vinyl. Very bad!
- The last thing I did was make a flower for a little extra embellishment. I attached the flower to the pillow and voila I was done!!
Now I have a little Christmas Subway Art to ring in the Holiday Season!!
I just love my new pillow! 
And, speaking of Silhouette — have you entered to win the Silhouette giveaway I am hosting right now??

Oh please oh please OH PLEASE will you post this subway art pillow in my Tell Me Tuesday link party? I really love it. Is a Silhouette or a Cricut better–what is the difference? http://vintagepollyanna.blogspot.com/2010/11/tell-me-tuesday-3-sweet-fabric-rosette.html
I am a big fan of subway art too! Love it! Now I just need a silhouette!
I LOVE this! I want to give it a try but I don't have a Silhouette. Would a Cricut work??
