I do love me a cute couch pillow & I've been wanting to make one or two of these ever since we bought our new furniture.
So last night I finally sat down and forced myself to make one.
While blog surfing yesterday in my spare 5 minutes, I found a tutorial using this very Beehive graphic, I planned on using the beehive to begin with but liked her use of numbers so I put a 7 on mine as we have 7 in our family.
The pillow took about 45 minutes to make and was super easy even with the pleated ruffle!

I bought these 2 fabrics that I plan on using to make new slipcovers for my striped pillows that came from IKEA. I think they will look great next to my plaid couch slipcovers. My hope is they will give it more of a Shabby Chic feel.
This beehive graphic can be found at the Graphics Fairy, she has TONS of awesome graphics that you can use for literally hundreds of crafts, and the best part is they are all FREE.
I used Osnaburg Fabric, a pre-made pillow form & Avery light fabric transfers to make this pillow. I think it turned out pretty good for someone who doesn't really sew and I love it's simplicity, now to make a few more!
That pillow is so cute!!! Love the number!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, girl!!

ReplyDeleteVery cute! I've never used transfers before, but they sound amazing! I've seen some pretty cool artwork made with them. I like your personal touch with the number seven too. The whole look of your couches with the pillows is very cute.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Thanks for the links too! I am going to try this... after I watch the DVD that came with my sewing machine because I am a wee beginner! Were a no. 5 family ~
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on your pillow, especially since it has a ruffled edging. Thanks for the info on the graphics. Love & blessings from NC!
ReplyDeleteCute fabrics. Still loving the slipcover idea, I think I need to go that route and soon!
