How to Make DIY Mini Embroidered Pillows for a Dollhouse Porch Swing

After building and installing the porch swing on my Vermont Farmhouse Jr dollhouse, I knew it needed one more thing, pillows! In this video I am showing you how I made tiny one inch embroidered pillows with floral details on the front, a contrast back, and a soft polyfill center. These little accents are what take a porch swing from cute to cozy, lived in, and fully styled.

WATCH THE SHORT VERSION    • DIY Miniature Dollhouse Embroidered Pillows   In this beginner friendly dollhouse tutorial you will learn how to embroider a simple floral design at a tiny scale, how to outline and cut a one inch pillow with a clean seam allowance, how to pin and sew front to back fabric with the right sides facing each other (so all your seams hide on the inside), how to trim corners without cutting into your stitches, and how to fill and close a miniature pillow so it sits soft and styled on your porch swing. I am also sharing why I love this project as an easy way to swap out colors, fabrics, and embroidery styles whenever I want to refresh the look.
