I've got a darling pillow to share with you today. It's made from a vintage tea towel.
This is the front. It's a map of Lancashire Coast and Lake District.
I love the bright colors on the towel!
.
Here's the back.
I used this red ruffle trim to bring out the red in the fabric.
I got this tea towel at an estate sale for $2.
To make it into a pillow, I first cut it in half.
Then I pinned my trim around the edge of one half and ran it through my sewing machine.
Sometimes when I make a pillow, I just pin the trim in between the two pieces of fabric
and sew it all at once.
This trim was so thick, I wanted to be able to see what I was doing.
Once the trim was attached, I pinned the two halves of the fabric---right sides together.
I sewed all around the edges leaving about six inches along one side.
Then I turned it inside out and filled it with cotton stuffing.
To finish it off, I used an invisible hand stitch to sew the hole shut.
I'm nowhere near the seamstress I'd like to be, but I think this turned out pretty cute!
If you like this pillow, you may want to check out this one I made from a pinto bean bag.
Thanks for stopping by and God bless.
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
