Totally Tute-ular Tuesday! Freecycle Pillows

Yippeee! My second Totally Tute-ular Tuesday!

As some of you know I've been doing a

spring redesign on my deck. 

Yesterday I posted my new outdoor

coffee table with "unusual" legs!

I failed to mention the complete shock

registered by hubby that it actually worked!

LOL! Score for female ingenuity Ladies!

Today's deck sprucing post is a

freecycle tutorial on pillows.

I'm going to tell you right off, the pillows, as-of-yet,

are not hand-stitched closed at the bottom!

I took three pillows that I was no longer using

and a soft shade curtain that I never used 

to do this project.

I started with the soft shade.

I cut it in half lengthwise and removed the fabric ties.

I plan to use half of the curtain for a table runner later.

I then had enough fabric to cut 3 squares

the size of the pillows.

I  put two of the squares face to face and

stitched 3 sides closed.

Turned inside-out, ironed and stuffed.

Easy, peasy, done...except for the hand-stitching.

For the next pillow I used the third toile square

and an identical sized square of burlap that

I had left from another project. I had a small

swatch of toile left too and decided to sew it to

the front of the burlap

and fray the edges.

I put the front and back face to face and sewed

three sides together, repeat above.

For the third pillow I used two more squares

of burlap and a dish towel I had.

 

I stitched the dish towel to the front of a burlap

square, put the two pieces of burlap face to face

and stitched 3 sides. You know the rest!

They will look so much better when the

bottoms are stitched...and I'm thinking

about edging the frayed square with

some black ribbon.

Total cost: zero (0) dollars!

I hope you will all visit tomorrow for

the very first

"Rave Reviews Wednesday"

at Sweet Pickles and Chocolate!
