Let's remake a pillow that I
was just going to store.
I had 3 faux fur
"mock turtleneck/scarf/muff/sleeves"
that were to pull over your head
for winter weather.
We'll refer to them as "furry things".
I purchased them on 90% off clearance
at Kohls a couple years ago.
I knew I could make something
out of these soft "furry things"!
So they landed in my "stash" of stuff
to work with.
I turned them inside out and pinned
the opening together on one end. I did
this on two of the "furry things".
I used my sewing machine to make
it quicker but you could hand sew it
using a whip stitch.
Turn these two to the right sides.
Slide the two "furry things" onto each
end of the pillow. Are you seeing
the picture yet?
The center of the pillow needs to be
covered and that's where the third
"furry thing" comes in.
Slide the third furry thing, that
has both ends unsewn, over one end
and pull it to cover up the center area.
I just tacked the center edges to
the outer furries to keep it together and...
VOILA!
A furry pillow!
My faithful assistant approves.
So instead of storing a decorative pillow
I'm using it for a brand new look!
We have lots more "Decorating On
a Budget" to show you in the next few
weeks so stay tuned for more.
Marie has been busy in her studio and
will have some new masterpieces to
reveal soon.
Thanks for stopping by to visit us.
We love it when you leave us
a comment!
Blessings & happiness to all of you,
Marie & Sherry

Lurve the pillow Re-Do and what a smokin' price too! Praying for Linda too!
ReplyDeleteMa chère Sherry! Ça fait du bien de te voir! AND your project here is genius! Why dump out or never use these scrapes of fabric when we can transform them into something unexpected! BRAVO!
ReplyDeleteMy dear, the years have been going by! This is my fifth year of blogging and so many lovely things have occurred because of it. Mainly, the people and each one of you means so much to me. I am happy to hear that life on Golden Pond is good for you! Home can be a slice of heaven on earth, and it is there where we learn to prepare for the eternal home being prepared at this moment (our time wise) for us!
I pray you are all well and striving. May Linda grow stronger in her faith daily, and that her pain and illness be gone. Bless you dear friend! OH! KEEP UP YOUR FRENCH! BISOUS! Anita
