Yellow Sweater Pillow

Posted on April 6, 2012 by Pillows A-La-Mode

As you know, I love to upcycle old clothing, which is why this “sweater with issues” is now a cushy 10 x 15 inch pillow. Although the built-in smocking added a nice bit of texture, I decided to up the a-la-mode by making a flower out of the same fabric. With the gold floss and button in the center, it even harmonizes with my sunflower paintings . . . a surprise bonus! ♥

That smocking texture is so nice for a pillow. I love how you used an old sweater to make it! The flower is a nice touch!

Thank you! One of my crafting goals is to learn to make fabric flowers, so I’ve been collecting tutorials from Pinterest and also bought a pattern I found in a clearance bin. This one is the “D” flower from McCall’s 6523 with a bit of my own spin.
