Vintage Pillows


Hey and a Good Tuesday to ya! 
Do you ever just wake up with an overwhelming notion to do something? Well, I do and today it was making pillows. Better yet, remaking pillows. 
I titled this post vintage pillows and in a way are. I had some pillows that were looking quite worn and really in need of a redo. I intend on using them in my bedroom so I went with colors and fabric I had used in the quilt I recently finished.

Some of my fabrics that I used were quite old so it really brought the vintage feel to the pillows.

The fabric being older also made me want to use some piping to give the pillows a little more strength in the seams 
and I think it also gave the pillows a little more shape .





You can purchase piping at craft stores but sometimes it's hard to find just what you want in mind.
Sometimes the quantity you want might make it a better choice to make it yourself.
I make mine by sewing a piece of cording or natural rope between the piece of fabric I'm wanting to use .




The first pillow. 
You know that just got me started. I played around with different stuff I had until I had satisfied my need for pillows.

Thank you for stopping by.
I hope you're inspired to make some pillows too.
Be Blessed!

  1. Those pillows turned out great! That white one is really pretty. That's great that you felt like doing something and actually followed through and completed the task. That's hard to do sometimes.
