Amy Butler’s Hourglass Pillow<a is easy to make The instructions are detailed and simple to follow. Let me show you how I did it.

The first two front triangles, sewn together.

The front of the pillow, notice the square of folded interfacing, basted in the center; this is to reinforce your fabric at the spot the button will go. A square of interfacing is basted to the center of the pillow back also and the stitching marks the center of the back, which is helpful when you are actually attaching the buttons to the pillow.

Sewing the front and back together.

Trimming the corners, so that they will be pointed when you turn the pillow right side out.
