I have had this project sitting on my sewing table waiting for me
since last summer! A friend gave my girls a boat load of clothes
last summer and this velvet top was in that pile. I grabbed it knowing it would be perfect to
make a throw pillow out of. I'd even
gone to Wal-Mart to pick up the travel pillow I wanted to use. And then it sat. Some projects just do, I'm afraid.
I trimmed it to size and pinned together with right sides together |
I used 1/4" seams and left an opening at one end to stuff the pillow inside |
Then I stitched the opening closed and added this vintage rhinestone button I had in my button jar |
Totally crazy too, because I was able to whip this up in no time
flat. It was super quick and easy to
make and if you are at all interested in how I did it check out this post I did
about four years ago when I turned a couple of my daughter's favorite sweaters into throw pillows for their
rooms.
Super cute! Don't you think? |
I don't know why some projects get put on the back burner while
others seem to get done right away. But
this one if finally done and I'm super happy with the end results. One more item off the list! That feels
pretty good.
The rhinestone button is the perfect finishing touch! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue! :o)
DeleteIt seems like many times when I've had a project sitting and waiting for a long time that when I finally do it, it takes no time at all and them I'm wondering... what the heck was I waiting for?! ha ha! Love your pillow!
