new pillows
November 12th, 2009
It’s been quite a while since I made new pillows and I always hate my couch a little less when I do. So I cut into this awesome Anna Maria Horner huge flower print and slapped some gingham on the back. 15 minutes and you have a pillow. Why do I put these things off for so long? The grey pillow is made from old felted sweaters. After making my bears, the arms of the sweaters are always leftover, so I have a box full of arms (creepy). I cut them apart and sewed them up in strips with the seams exposed. I’m not in love with it, but I’m happy I used them up. And my couch is happy too.

I think they look great, great idea to use up the arms.
you are too clever. i love this combo.
I like the idea of the sweater pillows for fall/winter. adds some texture/warmth to the room. and then maybe switch them out for cotton/linen in spring?
i have sweater parts around, too.
i really like your grey sleeve pillow (cushion), it looks really expensive and plush.
oh my gosh-how can you not be in love with the grey pillow?! it is so cool!
Really cute! I love the sweater pillow. Your “creepy” comment made me snicker. I have the most random collection of chopped up clothing leftovers, and always wonder what my grandkids will think when I kick the bucket some day, and they have to empty out my craft closet, lol. “Grandma had a very strange obsession with the top portion of little girls tights and shirt sleeves…”
love the seams on the grey pillow
have that same AMH flower pillow in yellow [love]
You just keep getting more and more creative every day. I kinda like that big buttony blue pillow.
Ah, but the grey one is the best of them both!!!!! Perfect for warming up the house for winter!
I am in love with it! Just imagining its snuggly goodness.
I love the grey one!
Well, if “not in love with” the grey pillow ever gets downgraded to “don’t want it in my house anymore”, let me know and I’ll pay the shipping to my house. :-)
fabulous. great blog you have!
I think the felt pillow is fantastic!
