Picture Frame PillowThis decorative pillow features a floral motif as the centerpiece. The crossed-corner border forms an attractive "picture frame"
Measuring Up- You will need a front piece of fabric whose width and depth are those of the pillow form plus six inches for the flange border and seam allowances. For the back pieces, add five inches to the depth and then cut the fabric in half across the depth of the fabric.

Materials- Fabric, pillow form, braid, tassels
1. The the two halves of the back piece and turn 5/8 in to the wrong side along the cut edge of each. Press. Turn the same amount again, sew and press. Overlap the hemmed edges by 2in. Baste together across the ends. |
2. On the front piece, draw two parallel lines with chalk on the right side of the fabric, 3in from the edge. Lay a strip of braid along each chalk line and baste in place. Repeat for the other two edges.
| | 3. Place a tassel at each corner, slipping the ends under the basting stitches. Sew around the edges of the braid, securing the tassels as you do so. |
