Hello fabulous Cherished Treasures readers!!
I am so, so, excited you have the chance to chat with you guys today!!
It's like being the guest on Oprah- you feel so special just to be asked to be on the show!
I write a DIY blog- where mostly I share the home decor and craft projects I've whipped up.
I had a little project in the back of my mind for awhile right now- and since I'm currently
working on a never ending reupholstery project- this was a perfect excuse to see a
small project from start to finish.
I saw this super, duper cute pillow from darling Aimee at
Twigg Studios and I knew I had to make my own! Well, I love most of the pillows she makes- but since I don't sew, this was the only one I thought I could make! Haha!
I made a no-sew pillow using a down pillow that had seen better days and
this no-sew pillow tut from the hilarious Cassie at Hi Sugarplum. Since it's basically ironing and cutting, even I could handle it!! The key was the Peel n Stick fabric fuse. It works like a charm and made the pillow so easy to make!
For the cute little ruffles I followed Aimee's tutorial. Just cut strips of cream flannel,
which incidentally I had on hand - lucky coincidence. Then I wrote out the union jack
pattern with chalk {just like she said to.}
Then I went rogue!! Aimee stitched her ruffles on and I {had to} use a glue gun to attach the mine. I am crazy amazed at how awesome the glue is holding. I wanted to move one of the ruffles over and you couldn't get it off if you tried. Well actually, I mean, I did try and it wouldn't budge!
Isn't the pillow charming!? I think it makes the perfect textural addition to the little sitting area in my bedroom. I love how burlap adds an earthy feeling, grounding my silk curtain panels.
I'm sure this new addition will make the 5 whole minutes I get to sit down there and read that much more enjoyable!!
So I really loved getting to chat with you guys today!
