Hi all!
Hope you are having a good week.
I recently got these burlap pillow covers for a great price. They came from a really chic shop, but as I said, great price! I knew they would be great for making pillows.
The thing is, I don't sew much. I can make a pillow, but to be honest, I don't like sewing. I would rather be working on my crowns etc. So I got some down pillows, put them in the covers, folded them up like an envelope. Next I got out my trusty glue gun. Glued them shut, added some scrunched seam binding, and a pretty vintage rhinestone button. Voila,(used this word in my last post), pretty new pillows. Easy, and very in right now.
Had fun making these, and not as frustrating as sewing on burlap.
Have a great night!
Chat again soon.
Love,
Rosemary
PS, the whole project probably cost about $25.(Thought you would want to know that)

I love the mix of burlap with other more delicate fabrics! Your pillows are fab! Have you thought about adding a stenciled initial to the flap? Oh and the rhinestone buttons are perfect.
