This method of creating an interesting texture can be used not only for pillowcases of decorative pillows, but also, for example, when sewing a bag or clutch.
A peculiar pattern, similar to curly pinches, is made here of stripes of leather. This workshop uses genuine leather. You can take artificial. It is good if the material has a seamy side - the pattern will be more noticeable. Use a skin needle for the machine.

Fancy decorative pillows: 10 ideas with instructions
Step 1
Cut 2 squares 43x43 cm from the fabric.
Step 2
Slice and skin 30 strips 43 cm long or slightly larger and 2.6 cm wide each. It is convenient to do this on a ruler.
Step 3
Put one of the strips upside down. Apply a strip of glue along the top edge along the long side.Turn the strip upside down and attach to the edge of the fabric part so that the upper edge of the strip without glue coincides with the upper edge of the fabric part. Also apply glue to the second strip. Attach it below the first so that the second half covers the first. Continue sticking until you fill the entire base. Wait for the glue to dry and trim the strips on the right and left.
Step 4
Lay the stitches in the middle along each strip, as shown in the photo.
Step 5
Lay the stitches along the right and left edges, departing from the edges of 0.6 cm, and the line parallel to them exactly in the middle.
Step 6
Mark the middle between the left and middle lines. Now you need to lay a line parallel to them, but in a different direction, bending the strips of skin, as shown in the photo.
Repeat on the other side.
Step 17
Fold the second fabric square with the front of the pillowcase face to face. Sew the details around the perimeter, leaving a hole for turning out. Turn out the pillowcase and fill it with padding polyester. Sew the hole by hand in a blind seam. Done.
