Alexandra, I think the edges curl under if the blanket stitching is too far apart or too deep into the fabric. Are either of these the case? Or the stitching could be too tight? I’m glad you enjoyed the tutorial and the stitching…I love doing the blanket stitch too. Keep practicing and you’ll get the stuffing right as well. I usually stuff it, pin it and then see how I feel about it before stitching it closed.

This is a great tutorial! I tried this with two pieces of the smaller felt (you know – 8″ish by 11.5″ish) found at the craft store. I had fun with the sewing, however, one came out over-stuffed and the other under-stuffed and then the edges became curled under.

Any tips?

A good source for the fleece is places like Dollar General and Family Dollar. Often they have fleece throws for $5 or less. You can make a couple of pillows even with the small throws. Cheaper than the fabric store,and if you are like me,a lot closer to home.
