Sewing up a Storm

October 25, 2011 - 18 comments



This past weekend I dusted off the sewing machine and unearthed some fabrics in my pile and whipped up some pillows.

One pillow was made from another memo I had of Kelly Wearstler's Imperial Trellis fabric in green.

Using some linen I had in my stash I made this:



How I love free fabric samples of luxurious fabric!

Tomorrow I will share another fabulous pillow I made for my daughter's room.

    Gorgeous fabrics. Your cushion with the small piece of trellis fabric is a great way to use up smaller pieces.

    Great idea for the primo pieces I recently ordered from Tonic Living,

    Must be nice to "whip" up some pillows - and they look so gorgeous Barbara!

    Fantastic - I love the inset panel of pattern against the solid linen. Really lovely!

    Love it! And your project for your daughter's room looks like way more fun than mine right now... cleaning the vintage - who knows where it's been - brass hardware was more than I bargained for!

    Can't wait to see tomorrow's pillow!

    The trellis looks insanely good Barbara, and I love the linen you used as a border, it goes so well! Can't wait to see what else you have done, I am so jealous of your skills!! Hugs,
