I am definitely into decorating for holidays and seasons not using the typical seasonal colors! I wanted a harvest feeling pillow that would last me from September through Thanksgiving for my living room. Instead of using the typical orange, yellow, brown, and red colors I coordinated the pillow to my living room. I purchased a warm rustic green linen colored fabric and shades of white felt for the leaves. I ordered two packs of these felt leaves from Etsy. They are taupe, ivory, and white and three different shapes.
I pinned the first layer of felt leaves in a circle and then using different color thread to match each color of felt I sewed the leaves on to the pillow where the veins would be on a leaf.
Is the pillow pretty? I just love how it turned out. I love the texture of the layers of leaves and the pillow fabric. It is the perfect fall addition to my living room.

ReplyDeleteLove this. I think you could even use it all winter. I like the idea of decorating with more neutral colors rather than the traditional earth tones. Thanks for stopping by. Would love to see your parsons shelf.
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely!! I was relieved to see you purchased the leaves pre-cut! I would not want to be cutting all of those out!! Talk about hand-cramps!! I'm now following your lovely blog and looking forward to more lovely creations!!! =) Deanna

This pillow is gorgeous! I just started sewing earlier this year and I'm learning a lot as I go, but I can't imagine taking on this! I'm not so precise with my seams yet. :) Great job!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my blog for 31 Days of Shut Up and Sew where I'm challenging myself to sew something every day in the month of October. It's been a challenge, lemme tell ya. :)
Came over from Friday Happy Hour and this is too cute! I'm glad that you bought the leaves though because I was feeling like a major slacker when I saw those :) This is a great idea and I really like the subtle fall colors.
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE this pillow! The green linen fabric is perfect and felt is so much fun.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love this idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous! So the next time I want to make another wreath (because I have way too many) I should just make it into a pillow! A beautiful idea and the pillow is so timeless and classic I imagine you will enjoy it for many years to come!
