I went to Google and typed in how to make throw pillows. Some of the first sites that came up had dog bone pillows. I didnt look at them but they are free.

I started with Google, then when I couldn't find what I wanted, I turned to the sewing forum.

I am looking for a pattern that is in THREE PARTS,

or else, advice on how to make my own pattern.

Maybe I'll just get out the muslin and experiment.

Unless one of you already happens to know what I'm talking about. Any help appreciated! :-)

Use the pattern and cut three pieces. Sew numbers 1 & 2 from the 'V' at one end along the edge to the 'V' at the other end - assuming a 1/4" seam - start & stop 1/4" from end. Take piece number 3 and sew to number 2 from 'V' to 'V' the same way. Next sew number 3 to number 1 in the same manner EXCEPT leave an opening in the center of the straight part to turn and stuff the pillow.

By not sewing all the way to the 'V' when you're done you will have a 'Y' seam. I find it easier if I mark that point and start & stop sewing one stitch from it. I put a straight pin through the mark on each piece and leave it there until I've finished the seam. Putting the pin at the mark each time I don't have to worry about correct placement/matching.

Now, that's exactly the type of advice I was looking for. Thank you thank you thank you! MaryLiz

I went on that link but I couldn't find the pattern/ guideline?
