Hexagon Pillows Tutorial
It’s pretty easy. But the secret, she says, is “to cut six identical pattern pieces for the front of the pillow. It’s crucial that they are exactly the same.”

Other tips she gives are:
- Use an ½” seam allowances, and have them included in and marked on your base hexagon petal form.
- Use a good sewing machine like the Janome DC4030
- It’s optional, but consider using a zipper foot
for the corners with the tassels as it gets a bit thick and tricky at each of the six corners. (My idea would be to simply add the tassels by hand, but I’m not a ‘real’ seamstress.)
