Sewing up a Storm




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.

  1. 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,

  11. 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!
