David and I got these pillows for a good deal when we bought our couches. Neither of us loved them, but they were cheap. I saw this blog post http://kimboscrafts.blogspot.com/2011/06/pillow.html & I started scheming how I would convince David that ruffles would be a good idea. I let him pick the fabric and he was all for it! He picked dark brown and a green print for the ruffles. Our couches technically are dark brown, but they look black.
The ruffles ended up taking twice as much fabric as I had thought it would, so I didn't end up with enough to make the pillows covered in ruffles as I planned (& still want...). I improvised and they turned out okay. I was too lazy and didn't want to spend more money to make the rest of the ruffles.
Someday I need to do something about the black curtains that don't match....
Super cute! I think they look cute with just a few stripes of ruffles :]]

ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these Deidra! They are oh, so cute.
ReplyDelete1st item of business. I have a love-hate relationship with your blog. I love coming and reading your updates. I love the song that is playing, "Sweet Disposition". I've told you this. But I hate the way it makes me feel. It makes me think of you and miss you. I regret not hiking up the stairs to see you more often.
ReplyDeleteI really do love talking with you Deidra. If you ever want to talk or do something, call me.
Those pillows are darling. That ruffle thing blows my mind. I did it and it got confusing. Glad yours turned out darling!
Yeah for being crafty! I need you at my house :)
