1. 

   I cut the interfacing to the size of the pillow.

2. 

   I laid out the strips longways, and then wove a couple going the other way.

3. 

   Then I would take a wet washcloth and press the few strips to make them stick.

4. 

   Weave a few, press.

5. 

   When you use interfacing you have to iron it with something wet to make it stick. Anyway, When I got to the end I just sewed it to another piece of fabric to make a pillow case.

6. 

   I left an opening in the other piece of fabric to stuff it--which I wouldn't recommend, I would just buy a pillow and cover it--and stuffed it!

BEAUTIFUL. Any chance of a very brief explanation? After you wove the ribbons, how did you hold them together as you sewed, and where did you sew? Sooooo pretty. I LOVE lime green.

This is really pretty, thanks for sharing and thanks for the explanation. Would it be okay if I added your explanation to the main body of the project and turned it in to a how-to?
