What do you see?

When I look at this pillow, I see more than fabric and thread.

I see texture.
I see balance.
I see thoughtful details.
I see how a simple design can become something special through careful craftsmanship.

This is one of my original pillow designs that I call Fabric Origami. I love how a few carefully placed folds and stitched details can transform a simple piece of fabric into something unexpected.

Sometimes the most beautiful projects aren’t the loudest ones. They’re the pieces that reveal themselves a little more each time you look.

Which detail caught your eye first?

And here’s another question…

There’s something so inspiring about seeing a technique come to life through the hands of a creative maker.

Holly, one of our amazing Designs by Donna members, used the Pillow with a Mitered Corner Fl**ge video course to create these two beautiful pillows — and look at the results! She even used the included scaling formula download to create two different-sized mitered fl**ges with confidence. And that invisible zipper? Beautifully done.

What I love most is seeing members take a technique, make it their own, and grow in confidence with every project.

Holly specializes in slipcovers, and her work is absolutely worth a look if you love beautifully tailored soft furnishings. Be sure to check out her Instagram here:

Have you ever tried sewing a mitered fl**ge on a pillow? Let me know below!

I thought I knew how to make a mitered corner until I followed the new mitered fl**ge tutorial from @designsbydonnaatlanta. Precise and foolproof. As a member I have access to Donna's years of sewing workroom advice in her live weekly chat besides tons of online pillow lessons. And can I just get a small whoopwhoop for this truly invisible zipper? Guess where I learned it.
