How to Sew Rope on a Pillow

Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Denise Robinson and on behalf of Expert Village I'm here to show you how to create a decorative pillow. Now I'm going to begin to sew the rope pieces onto the pillow. Remember I taped the ends so that it wouldn't unravel, so I'm just going to put the pieces together and I'm going to take my needle and tape the end part and just unwrap it around the rope pieces. Just above the tape part just wrap it really tight so they can be secured together like in one piece. I'm going to begin to sew that piece on, I'm just going to go through the back layer of material and some of the batting that is inside of the material, inside the pillow but not the face part. I'm just going to continue on sewing this together until it is nice and tight and secure. So it might take a couple of times of getting this on here cause you want to make sure that it stays on there and it don't come off by any means. If you ever get tired of this design you can always just cut the thread and take it off and your pillow is the way you had it in the beginning. So just pushing it through and making sure it's really tight and I have a secure rope or latched onto my pillow and I'll continue on with my other two corners and we'll move onto the next step."
