The hubbo and I walked & shopped the Plaza this weekend. We noticed an obvious recurring trend in upper end retail shops: inexpensive burlap pillows embroidered or appliqued which are sold for rather exorbitant prices. I am compiling a list of links that may get your creative juices flowing.
Pull out some scraps of fabric. Try:
- Ironing on an image- make your own or buy some OTC, my favorites come from Sukie
- Applying a single word in a graphic font via applique or stencil using fabric paint
- Weaving fabrics for a pillow top
- Embroidering fall leaves or a pretty quote
- Sewing simple sashes around your existing decorative pillows
Pillows to adore:
Anyway, keep the $98 retailers are asking. You can make a custom pillow that truly reflects your home's unique style at a fraction of the cost. If you make some, email me some pics. We'll post them to the site.
