On one of my many adventures to the Quilted Angel, here in Petaluma, I picked up these great squares of fabric with coffee house designs. I decided, what better way to showcase the design than with a pillow!
I have had these plain green pillows on my bed for about two years now, and was getting sick of them. So I decided to take matters into my own hands:
Here is pillow pre-fabulous slipcover. Notice the beads on the edges. I had to cut them all off. I'm keeping the beads for a possible project down the line.
And presto! Instant cool! The back of the slipcover is a black and red polka dot.
I actually just added the buttons and buttonholes this past Saturday. It unfortunately took me quite a long time to figure out how to attach the buttonhole foot, as well as to figure out my stitch settings, so by the time I had sewn three buttonholes and buttons, I was grumpy and hungry. But the pillow came out great! I have another swatch of coffee fabric (slightly different pattern) that I plan on making another slipcover out of.Sewing class starts next Monday, which I'm very excited for! I will be sure to bring my camera to class and snap some pics.

love the java cups...so cute and festive. I am liking the slip cover idea, because you can make gagillions and switch them out!
The Pillow Covers are quite an artistic acheivement! You've taken the old and made it new. I can't wait for your next project!
