Pillow Talk


I like to recover old pillows with whatever I find around the house, or something on the sale shelf at Marshalls, etc. I seem to mostly use old tea towels or cloth napkins.




In this case you can see it was some recycled blue jean material--maybe from some old clothing.



And sometimes I just add a ribbon to "dress  up" a pillow. I am noticing a color theme here!



Thanks, Rhondi, for encouraging us to show off our pillows. So I'll join in with  Rose Colored Glasses and also Mosaic Monday. Thanks, ladies.

  13. These are sooooo lovely!

    Every single one of them. I just got a new couch and need a couple of new pillows.

    I wish you lived around the block and I could hire you to make me a couple.

    A needle wouldnt even recognize me if i picked one up -- I know nothing about sewing.

    If you get a moment would love for you to stop by and say hi!

  26. Podso, Your attitude about covering pillows is one I hope to cultivate. Such a great idea, and your pillows are all so lovely. These fresh blue and white pillows would look great with the pillows on my post! Don't you love how clean and calm blue and white feel.
    So happy I stopped by for a visit!
