All fabrics and supplies used today to create this Delicious Donut Pillow Tutorial where provided by Club Tissus, my favorite Canadian fabric store. First, trace a donut shape on paper and cut around it. Remember to add a seam allowance. I like to use 1/2". Then, cut the center of the donut out and put aside.<br><br><br><br>Trace a second donut shape and trace the icing free handed all around. Cut around the outer icing line. You don’t have to cut off out the center of the icing. You now have all your Delicious Donut pattern templates. Step 2. Using the larger round template, cut 2 circles of fabric to create the dough. Do not cut the center out yet. Using the icing template, cut 1 in your chosen fabric. Step 3. Pin or spray baste the wrong side of the icing onto the right side of one dough piece. Make sure it is well centered. Tip: If you are using a slippery fabric (or any type of fabric that seams to have a personality of it’s own!) I highly recommend using temporary basting spray. Don’t worry, it won’t gum up your needle later on! Step 4. Using a zig zag stitch, sew all around the icing shape, letting the needle come just over the edge. I like to use a stitch length of 1 and a width of 2.5. Keep in mind that these settings might change depending on your choice of fabric.<br><br><br><br>The heavier the fabric, the larger and longer your stitches are going to be.

Step 5: Place the dough pieces right side to right side. Using the small circle template, trace a donut hole shape in the center on one side using a washable fabric marker. Step 6. Stitch directly on the line you just traced in step 5. Backstitch at both ends. Step 7. Cut the center of the donut hole out, leaving an 1/2" seam allowance. Clip all around the circle into the seam allowance making sure not to cut through your stitches. The snips will release the seam allowance so your piece can be turned and pressed flat. Step 8. Pulling from the center, turn the donut right side out and press the seam.<br><br><br><br>Step 9. Using a washable fabric marker, draw 1/2" lines on one side of both dough pieces. Step 10. Using the burrito method, roll the donut on itself so the marks from step 9 will be right side to right side. Step 11. Sew all around the half circle using an 1/2" seam allowance. When you reach the bottom of the curve, stop sewing - keeping the presser foot and needle down. Delicately pull the fabric inside the dough and continue to match the pieces right side to right side.
