I have been eying this lovely pillow over at Pottery Barn for some time now, but $39 for just the cover?! No thank you!!
I figured I could make one that looked similar for a lot cheaper.
I started by visiting Hobby Lobby and purchasing this trim that had the braid look and color to it -
I found some leftover off-white canvas from a previous project and used that for the pillow.
I attached the trim to the fabric first, and completed the entire square -

The corners were a little tricky. I didn't want rounded corners so I just cut and sewed the trim to meet at a point -
Next I sewed both finished square pieces together on 3 sides. Then I put my pillow insert in and sewed the remaining side closed. The corners were to thick to run through my machine, so I close the all the sides and hand stitched the corners closed.
Pretty close to the real thing!
And...for 1/4 of the cost! Can't beat under $10 dollars!!!
The pillow looks great! I'm trying to imitate the smoke blue pillow, but have zero sewing skills. :-(
ReplyDeleteI love this! I know it's an old post but can you tell me how you sewed the trim to the fabric? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI took one of the two sides and sewed the trim straight onto each side, then sewed the two sides together right side out on the the trim. Hope this helps!
