Finishing Making the Tuxedo Pillow with Ribbon

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Terri Turco with Expert Village. We are getting to the point that we are putting the batting in our very crisp ironed pillow. Now as we said before we are using like a nice fiber filled batting. You can use down or you can use another kind of batting but this really works best. As you see I just put it in very very slowly. Try to get it into all the corners. Okay, and you just fill that up so simple so easy. It takes about two or three minutes. But when you finally get this all filled in and really don't push it down it is going to look like this. You really want to fill this pillow and really fill it out but make it a little bit on the solid stiff side. You don't want it to be really lumpy. Alrighty. What I always do is take it back to the ironing board and I just give it another iron really make sure it is super crisp. Just in case you have any extra wrinkles you can do the sides. It really makes it look so much professional and you are probably wondering cause I did kind of skip right quick. You have this opening you just take a needle and thread and close it up ever so quickly. Then you have that completed pillow as I did here. So you can not even see the stitching. I did it by hand, you do a cross over stitch and you have it all pulled together. If it looks a little bumpy what do you do? You go back to the iron and just iron it back out it would look perfect all the time. Last but not least don't you go away now we are at the last step. It is adding the satin ribbon so if you have not already go get about three yards because this is the best three yards of ribbon you are going to want to use. You are going to be putting it on the tuxedo pillow when we come back and we are going to complete it at no time. "
