Project Tips:

• Use short, even punches for consistent texture throughout.

• Keep the hoop or frame taut—this helps maintain even loops and cleaner edges.

• Filaine thread has a naturally fuzzy texture that gives the finished piece a plush, almost tufted feel, which is ideal for a cozy pillow with a vintage vibe.

The pattern tutorial walks you through everything from preparing your fabric and transferring the pattern to punching the design and finishing the pillow. You’ll find helpful tips and clear visuals to make each step enjoyable and stress-free.

Whether displayed on a bench, nestled into a festive porch swing, or used as an eye-catching centerpiece indoors, the Celebrations in the Sky Punch Needle Pillow is sure to be a star-spangled hit!
