While Lily Napped, I Sewed

Remember this? Operation Decorate. Somewhere along the way it went on hiatus, but today while Lily napped I pulled out my sewing machine and my fabric stash and whipped these pillow covers together. I made both with an envelope back so they can be removed and thrown the wash. They make a vibrant addition to our living room, no?

I think so. Now onto finishing the coffee table we picked up from the flea market.

Beautiful! Is that Anna Maria Horner fabric?

Lindsay said...

Thanks, Bethany. They make me happy too.

Christine, it's not Anna Maria Horner -- just regular old fabric from JoAnn's (except the yellow, which was a pillow case I picked up at Goodwill).

very nice!

DId you see the memo board I made? ( I uploaded 1 pic to FB so far- will take a few better ones with my real camera hopefully today) anyway, it's the same Amy Butler fabric!! so obviously, I like it too- lol..

I have a few pillows I want to recover bc my darling little one got her hands on a PERMANENT marker- and colored on my SILK pillow.....sigh.......

Thanks, Sophie. I just double checked to see if the fabric is Amy Butler, and it's not that either. It's Alexander Henry. Must be a knock off.

And I didn't see the boards you made, but I'll take a look. I'm sure they're fab!

our minds think alike. i'm about to do some pillow covering myself. i've become a fan of the envelope back, too. though wouldn't you know that the pillows that get dirty around are never the ones with the envelope back but the ones that i sewed shut.

love your pillows. and are you still loving your new furniture??

Kate, I do love the furniture, especially the couch. I'm glad we waited until we could afford something we really love (and that everyone else doesn't have in their living rooms -- ahem, Rooms to Go). :)
