So I wanted to re-vamp some of the pillows we have in our living room. I really wanted an updated look, I just didn't want to pay $20 for a set of pillows. I've been on a saving money kick lately. Its great. I did some research on how to make puff pillows, well first I was going to make a puff quilt for Brenden, so this was kind of my trial run. And I think it turned out pretty great.
Here are some of the fabrics I chose to use and my fabulous rotary cutter! I love it, it makes projects so much easier.
Here is the before of our pillow. A little sad, I know.
The puff filling.
I will use this fabric for the backing of the smaller pillows.
A close up. Fun, huh?
I really love this one.
And this is one of Chris' favorites.
Some scraps.
I started by sewing wrong sides together so that I wouldn't have to turn them inside out, they're being sewn together anyways so you won't have any rough edges.
Here is what They look like together. I used 5 inch squares with 1/4 inch seam allowances.
Puffy!
Here it is almost done. I just needed to hand stitch the top and it was done!!!
This is a super easy project, if you're dedicated enough first cut to finish, you could do it in a little over an hour. I'm planning on making a few more soon. And Chris says its the best napping pillow.
