Sorority Pillow with Greek Letters

A hand made sorority pillow makes a great little sister gift!

What are your favorite colors? My favorite colors are pink and green together. That's why I love sewing Delta's with Zeta's and little turtles on pillows, because the colors are so bright and motivating. Same goes for making Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority gifts. The pink and green together just makes it beautiful, no matter what you are making.

I made this little Delta Zeta pillow with some leftover fabric that I already had in my fabric basket. The pink and white striped canvas brightens up what ever I make out of it. The green fabric is a knit, soft like tee shirt material.

I used the Greek Letter patterns for Delta and Zeta, but taped the 2 patterns together, so that the two letters could be joined as one. I like that because it is symbolic of sisterhood to be connected or joined to each other as sisters.  I use stitch witchery as a binding agent to iron the letters onto the back fabric. Once the letters are stuck on the fabric, then using the zig zag stitch on my sewing machine, I stitched all the way around the Greek Letters (Delta Zeta).

Then I got out my acrylic paints and painted a simple turtle crawling up the Delta. The fun part is adding embellishment to the turtle shell. Every turtle comes out different,  and that is what makes handmade gifts so unique...they are one of a kind.

The front and the back of the pillow are sewn together except for a hole left to put in stuffing. After stuffing, the opening  is closed with hand sewing.

The point is to MAKE SOMETHING YOURSELF.  Put yourself into making a gift and the recipient is sure to appreciate your efforts. Sorority gifts are treasures when made special by hand.

Phi Mu Little Sister Gifts

Phi Mu Sisters----Make your own sorority gifts!

This Phi Mu little sister sorority gift only needs to be put into a 5 x 7 frame, wrapped up in festive paper, and given to your favorite little sister.

Here is an example of an easy, inexpensive sorority gift that you can make quickly.  Small mats like this one in standard sizes like 5 x 7 or 8 x 10 can be found in craft stores. Actually, a pink mat would be even better, but this time, I just used what I already had.

You need a lion drawing that you can print off on cardstock or you can 'free hand' a drawing of a lion. Add the Phi Mu letters and "I Love my Lil Sis!" with a Sharpee or other pen.

Color with colored pencils or use watercolor paints like I did here.

Cut and tape the painted design to the back side of your mat. Then pop it into a little frame - I pick up nice little frames at the dollar store.

This can be done for any other sorority. If you need a mascot drawing, go to Google Images and see what you can find. You can print off a sorority mascot picture and then trace it with a black pen so that you only have the line drawing without color. This is easy if you trace, holding your papers up to a window so the light shines through. This enables you to clearly see the lines of the design.

Delta Gamma Fabric

This fabric would be perfect for the back side of a Delta Gamma pillow. On the front, use a white background and paint or appliqué your yellow or blue letters along with an ANCHOR for great looking pillow. A simple  To set the pillow off, use a ruffle at the joining seam, or cording for a more tailored look.

I wish sorority fabric designs like this one were not so hard to find. This beautiful fabric that is perfect for a dreamy Delta Gamma pillow is for sale today, but may not be here tomorrow. There is a link below if it is still available on eBay.

ALPHA DELTA PHI Cross Stitch

Sorority Cross Stitch Charts

I haven't done cross stitch in a while, but these beautiful patterns for Alpha Delta Pi just make me want to get out sewing basket again. Like the Delta Zeta cross stitch designs, I don't know how long this Alpha Delta Pi cross stitch will be available on ebay.

My favorite is the little bunch of violets (two blossoms and one bud) with Alpha Delta Pi embroidered over the flower design. It is nice the way the pattern set includes the sorority name in different sizes so that you can cross stitch the size that you need for whatever project you plan to make.

The lion is nice, too, but looks like it would take a while to finish.

There are a lot of choices for letters, so you can find what you like best.

If this pattern set  (or booklet)  is still available, you should see a link to the sale below. There is more information on the ebay listing if you click over to see the other pictures.
