i started off with some white fabric (once a bed sheet) - and i roughly cut out two rectangles to make an insert pillow to the size i wanted.....
i then grabbed my turquoise fabric stash which i've been making things for goob's room makeover - and started cutting random sized strips.....
.....then i just started sewing.....
.....and butchered an old pillow insert to reuse for filling in the new one.....
..........and so i don't have any more photos of the making - cause i just got into the making - but here's lots of pretty pics to follow - i hope you can forgive me for this being a half-arsed tutorial!!
i really really like how it turned out - even if it is a little slap-happy and a little uneven and bulky in places!! (i tend to rush when i'm busy creating!)
i am intending on making more pillows this way - so i promise to write a more detailed tutorial one day.
for those that might be interested - the white fluffy pillows behind - i made out of bath mats.
i posted about them here.
hope your wednesday has been a good one.
it's been super wet here - a nice day for triple j and i to laze around in our pjs all day.
love school holiday laziness!!!
off to cook up a special b'day meal - and a choc b'day cake for afters!!
hugz from me.

Hi Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteI've been wandering through your blog and love so many of the things you've done. This cushion stopped me in my tracks; LOVE it!
I'm follower #99. Woo hoo!
Thanks for the visit and your kind comment.
At least the pillow you butchered was a normal plain boring pillow.
