Sweet Little Pillows

I've been having fun making pillows this past week.  Here are just a couple of the one's I've made using recycled fabrics, trim, and vintage lace found at Scott's.  I love their pretty colors which make me long for spring. 

 The rose fabric was a sundress and the green check was a shirt I purchased at Goodwill.  The lace was really a vintage linen that I cut up and used the edges to make the lace.  I covered the buttons with flowers from the floral fabric to dress the pillow even more. 

 The back of this pillow is a solid piece of the rose fabric that is beautiful and delicate. 

 The other pillow is very similar, just made with different fabrics and a different color scheme.  The floral fabric on this turquoise themed pillow I got from an Ann Taylor Loft skirt.  I love this fabric and would love to do a whole room around it if it was available.  Wouldn't it make a great jumping off point for a bedroom for a child?  Such a cheerful and happy fabric. 

 Again I used the same green check and vintage lace, but this time I also used the little pleated ruffle and rick rack that was on the bottom of the skirt. 

 

 I so enjoy making pillows.  There are endless possibilities of colors, fabrics, and trims.  Plus they are a project that you can complete in a relatively short amount of time, making you feel like you're accomplishing something rewarding.
