As you can tell by the name, this blog started out featuring pillows . . . I’ve wandered a bit, haven’t I? But I still love to make pillows, so I made one this weekend with a small remnant I found in my stash. I added ruffle a-la-mode by cutting strips, stitching the ends together, turning under and stitching the sides so they won’t ravel, “scrunching” the strip as I sewed down the middle, and then stitching it down the middle again as I attached it to the pillow front. Finally, I added a vintage coat button, sewed the front and back together, and stuffed. The finished pillow is 10 x 20 inches. ♥

PILLOWS A-LA-MODE 
Cute! I have several small pieces of fabric that would look cute made into a pillow like yours.
It’s fun to put different scraps, trims, and notions together, isn’t it? This is the same fabric as the lining of the green placemat totebag in the next post. 🙂
I just finished making a pillow from fabric that I had left over from flower girl dresses I had made for my daughter’s wedding. I’ll have to post some pictures.
I can’t wait to see it! 🙂
What a charming pillow!
Thank you! I love that word “charming”! 🙂
