+Wedge Pillow
+============
+
+.. figure:: pillows.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+This is a pattern for a wedge pillow
+
+Materials
+---------
+
+For the pillow:
+
+* fabric such as an old sheet;
+* fabric waste: cabbage, old clothing, etc;
+* sewing thread.
+
+Pattern
+-------
+
+Get the valentina pattern: :download:`wedge_pillow.val`.
+
+You then need to set the following increments:
+
+``length``
+   the length of the base of the pillow;
+``width``
+   the width of the pillow;
+``height``
+   the height of the highest side of the pillow;
+``casing_ease``
+   how bigger than the pillow the casing should be, on all directions: 1
+   cm should be plenty;
+``sewing_allowance``
+   1 cm will do, the casing will have a double sewing allowance to make
+   it easy to finish it.
+
+A pillow that is 60 cm × 60 cm seems pretty typical, with heights
+ranging from 15 cm to 30 cm. A smaller 30 cm × 30 cm pillow (with
+heights on the lower part of the range) is also nice.
+
+Instructions
+------------
+
+.. figure:: cutting_scheme.svg
+   :align: center
+
+When cutting the triangles note that the two sides can't be nested to
+form a rectangle, because one of them needs to be flipped; the triangles
+for two pillows can however be efficiently cut by nesting the two left
+triangles and the two right triangles into two different rectangles.
+
+Of course, if the fabric has no right or wrong side this is not going to
+be a problem, and for the inner pillow you can also have a side that
+shows the wrong side on the outside, since it's going to be covered
+by the casing anyway.

+
+By hand
+"""""""
+
+Cut two of the triangular pieces and one big rectangle for the body, as
+wide as you want the pillow to be and as long as the sum of the sides of
+the triangles.
+
+Fold all edges of the fabric towards the wrong side by 1 cm, press.
+
+Starting from the right angle, wrong sides together, whipstitch the body
+around the edges of one side, folding it around the points of the
+triangle.
+
+Wrong sides together, whipstitch the other side of the body to the other
+side triangle.
+
+Optionally whipstitch close the beginning and the end of the remaining
+seam, leaving at least 20 cm open for filling.
+
+Continue with the instructions for :ref:`wedge_pillows_pillow_both`.
+
+By Machine
+""""""""""
+
+Cut two of the triangular sides, and then separate rectangles for the
+back, base and top.
+
+Right sides together, sew the base, back and top to one of the
+triangular sides, starting and ending the seam at the precise corner
+rather than in the sewing allowance.
+
+Right sides together, sew the other side of the base, back and top to
+the other triangular side, making sure not to twist them.
+
+Right sides together, sew the base to the top and then the back to the
+top, closing two corners of the pillow.
+
+If the pillow is wide, also sew the beginning and end of the back to the
+base, leaving at least 20 cm open for filling.
+
+Continue with the instructions for :ref:`wedge_pillows_pillow_both`.

+
+Cut the fabric scraps in as small pieces as you can bother: stripes that
+are at most 2 cm in height will do in most mid and lightweight fabric,
+thicker fabric will require smaller pieces.
+
+Fill the pillow with scraps, pressing them down as tight as you can
+manage.
+
+Whipstitch the seam close by hand.
