More C.S.I. Pillows

Another pillow I made using my Silhouette and freezer paper. I'm totally addicted now.

Made with burlap I painted it and then hand stitched the black lacey ribbon embellishment.

C.S.I. Pillow Parade

Just a simple post on all the pillows I've made and sharing at the pillow parade at theC.S.I.project.com



My hand stitched pillow of numbers.




How I made the phone pillow using my Silhouette: (incase you're living under a rock and don't know how yet :)

This is freezer paper you can buy at the grocery store. My little friend (silhouette) cut it out for me.
I ironed the wax side down to the burlap and painted it with acrylic paint.

Love it!
The house pillows I did the same way with the freezer paper and then hand stitched the white lacey ribbon around the edges and stamped the words "cottage" and "dwell" on there.

I always loved this pillow and I knew I could easily make it myself and so I did! AND I'll show you how too!
My Version
P O T T E R Y B A R N
Start with one yard of khaki drop cloth or linen or canvas. Cut into a whatever size you want, I did 14x36.
Use a fabric pen or rendering marker to write what you want.

Then make a pillowcase, if you would like to learn how go here.

Then I thought it could use something else. So I made these "nests" (or rosettes) by simply twisting a piece of the fabric that is about 1/2"x16" then wrapping it around into a twist like above. Then hot glue on to a piece of fabric....it probably sounds more complicated then it really is. The "nests" sewn on like sew! (hee hee)

I sure spend a lot of time making pillows

Hi! So I'm a day late but I've been working my tail off this week, making a bunch of product for a home decor store that's going to be selling my pillows! Check out a couple pillows below!

(pay no attention the top that still is closed yet)

(These 2 are still a work in progress!)






This pillow I made for myself. I saw it at a home decor St.George and LOVED it! So I made one....it took forever but it was worth it!


I cut some numbers out of fabric and appliqued them on some linen.

I just don't know if I'll be able to let these go!

Place Mattes for Pillows?

Hello there, I am still knee deep in projects all over the house. I'm trying to get them done by the end of the week. My 3 year even came into my office and said "look at this house!" Hmmm...I wonder where he's heard that?!
I knew I needed to post so I went through my files of pictures to find something that I hadn't posted yet. I found this!

So I wanted to try to find some pillows that would match the wall paper behind the sofa but I knew that would be time consuming! As much as I love a could decor hunt I decided to look around my house and see what I alread had!

(these pics were taken at night so the color is a little off.



I found these blue table place mattes that I had bought on clearance a couple years ago with the plan of making them pillows but never did. They matched blue perfect!



Next, I took a stencil and a fabric pen and painted the design on the place matter. It was so perfect that it matches the same pattern on the wall paper perfectly too!





For the back of the pillow I wanted a color that matched the walls of the office. I had this mis-match curtain panel I bought at Target on clearance for $4, sitting in my pile of fabric waiting to be used and it worked out great!


There you go, my love of symmetry on display!
