Loop de Loop Pillows Creative Designs

I am a chronic Scribbler. My school notebooks always contained more scribbles of flowers, geometric shapes, and animals than actual notes. To this day, my left bee notes are secret weird art rather than useful information. One of my recurring Doodle themes is a looping pattern. I love the hypnotic repetition of this.

With this penchant for doodling, it’s no wonder that I love embroidery so much. It’s basically drawing with thread. Once you master a few basic stitches, Needle and thread become as versatile as a pencil, but unlike a discarded pencil sketch, embroidery has an elegant and sophisticated finish.

These Loop cushions from Loop combine the simple and airy feel of a notebook with the beauty of embroidery. I used a soft and rustic Meadow towel in a beautiful natural color as a base and I accentuated it with a nice black silk embroidery thread. These pillows are very easy to make, but they end up looking so modern and sophisticated.

For a set of three pillows, two 14-inch squares and one 18-inch square -:

2 meters of porcelain grassland fabric
3 spools of Trebizond embroidered silk thread in black, color 111
Unbleached cotton thread (I used the color 1040)
A water-soluble marker
Embroidery hoop
Note: If you want to make a single pillow, you will need 1/2 meter of fabric for each 14-inch pillow and 1 meter for each 18-inch pillow. You also only need one spool of silk embroidery thread per pillow.

Cup for small pillows :

Squares from 2 to 15 inches
4-11 inch x 15 inch rectangles
For a larger pillow cut:

1-19 square inches

Rectangles from 2 to 13 inches x 19 inches
Set aside all the rectangular pieces until you reach the sewing section of the pattern.

Marking

Draw a 6-inch horizontal line from the bottom edge across the entire width of the square.
Mark a line 1 1/2 inches above and parallel to the first line. Starting 1 inch from the left edge, mark each inch along this line.
Mark a line 1 1/2 inches below and parallel to the first line. Starting 1/2 inch from the left edge, mark each inch along this line.
Connect the markers to your marker as shown above and sand each marker, cutting the entire pattern in half through the center marker. You may want to practice this with a pencil and paper first.

This is what the square looks like after being marked with a cross.

For Pillow B:

Draw a horizontal line 3 inches from the bottom of the square.
Mark a line 2 inches above the first line and parallel to it. Starting from the left edge, mark every 1 1/2 inches along this line.
Connect these marks with single loops, as shown above, starting with the bottom line, and make from the top of the loop each upper mark.

For The C pillow (this is the freest form of one of the pillows, so you can easily use these marks as a rough guide) :

Mark the huge single loop loop that starts 4 1/2 inches from the bottom left edge, rushes up and to the right and ends at the top edge 6 inches from the right side.
Continue the loop on the top edge 9 1/2 inches from the left side, dive to the right and finish on the bottom edge, 4 inches from the right side.
Continue the loop on the bottom edge 8 inches from the left side and dip it sharper towards the right end on the right side 9 1/2 inches from the bottom edge.

Embroidery

All the embroideries on these pillows are made with a simple split stitch. A split stitch is a back stitch in which the needle enters the fabric in the center of the previous stitch. If you have never done this before, you can follow the diagram above. The odd numbers represent the exit point of the needle and the even numbers represent the entry points of the needle.

Use the silk embroidery floss to embroider along the pillow marks A. Use the embroidery hoop to keep the fabric clean while you walk.
