A zero waste design that offers you a joyful way to tidy up without generating any additional scraps in the process. Composed of interlocking loops shaped like links on a chain necklace, this pillow pattern is sure to ignite that whimsical spirit we’re all striving to bring to our daily lives. Small geometric shapes make up the face of the loop, lending themselves very easily to patchwork designs. This beginner friendly pattern includes a lapped zipper opening so you can always come back to grab the scraps you stuffed inside. The finished object can be ever changing - you can add more links to your chain endlessly as each link is completed on its own and only brought together as the very last step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBut how many chain links are too many, you ask?

Any woven material can work for this project, although medium to heavy weight fabrics will provide the best structure to the shape. Lighter weight cotton or linen fabrics can work, but may benefit from a layer of fusible interfacing to add extra durability and opacity. If you plan to stuff your pillow with fabric scraps, the thicker the material the better! When stuffing with scraps, the result can look a bit lumpy. Using a thicker material can help hide this appearance, such as velveteen, wool felt, corduroy, denim twills, or upholstery materials. But do not worry if you want to use a lighter weight fabric - the scraps relax over time and those lumpy areas smooth out. Or, alternatively, use poly-fil to stuff your pillows instead!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe pattern includes a small seam allowance of 1\/4” (6mm) width.

A wide range of materials can work for this pattern. Just remember that you want the fabric to be able to fold up into the little zippered pouch, so choose a fabric that folds down easily for a better experience with daily use. The thicker the fabric, the more room it will need when folded up, so you run the risk of it not fitting into the zippered pouch if it is TOO thick or heavyweight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eA good benchmark for weight would be staying under 6oz or 200gsm. If you are planning on this being your everyday go-to tote bag, then consider how your fabric wears and washes. Linen is a great choice as it wears beautifully and holds up well after many washes. Cottons of many varieties would be wonderful for this pattern; think cotton broadcloth, batiste, quilting cotton, shirting, etc. For an elegant, more elevated approach, try making your bag in an organza! Show off those citrus fruits you grab from the farmer’s market in style. The options are truly endless, especially if you start thinking about fun fabric print\/color combinations for the main structure and the bias binding.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eFor your zipper, you need at least an 18” (45.7cm) long regular zipper for ease of construction.
