What is a PDF sewing pattern?
A PDF pattern is a sewing pattern designed on the computer and organized so that it can be printed on several letter or A4 size pieces of paper.
I love using PDF sewing patterns because if the pattern gets ruined or if my children or I changed sizes, I can always print it again. It’ll never be destroyed since I have a digital version!
How do you use a PDF sewing pattern?
Open the PDF on a computer and click print. When printing make sure that the scaling is set to 100% or no scaling so that the pattern prints at the correct size.
Once the pattern is printed it can be taped together to get the full size. Then the pattern can be cut for each pattern piece size or individual sizes can be traced so that the pattern can be used again and again. Learn how to use PDF sewing patterns.
What fabric should I use for a witch hat Pillow?
The best fabric to use for a witch hat pillow is a quilting cotton. It’s easy to find in all sorts of colors and prints, and it’s stable so it’s easy to sew. Since this is a pillow, hopefully it won’t get really dirty, but quilting cotton can be spot cleaned or thrown in the wash. Just check your stuffing after washing!

Cut out two pattern pieces.
Pin the ribbon or lace across the middle of the witch hat right above the brim.
Sew along both sides of the ribbon 1/8 inch from the edge. Trim any excess off.
Place the hat pieces right sides together and pin. Sew around the edge and leave a 6 inch hole. Backstitch when you start and stop.
Clip all the inner curves and points. Notch all the outer curves and points.
Turn the witch hat right side out. Push out all the curves and points.
Stuff the witch hat with polyfil. Use tiny pieces in the tiny spaces and larger pieces in the larger spaces.
