Every year after the Christmas holiday is over and all the decorations are packed away, I find myself in the same spot - no seasonally appropriate pretty pillows to replace the Christmas ones.
I'm not a big fan of that particular retail company, but when I saw Jona Giammalva's recent Periscope about her fabric score at her local superstore, I decided to give it a try. My local store had this great red geometric print for $3.97 per yard. What?! And the ticking stripe was $6.97 per yard!
A couple of yards of fabric, three zippers, and two hours of cutting and sewing later, I had three great new pillows for my family room :)
Jona's recent blog post about her new heart applique pillow will give you all the tips and tricks for making your own, and she has a great tutorial on how to insert an invisible zipper into the side seam of your pillow covers. Check it out - it's easy and foolproof!
The red pillows are 20" square, and the heart pillow is 18" square. Seriously, this project could not have been any easier.
Thanks for the terrific tips and tutorials, Jona!!
