hodge podge pillows

2/2/13

I am midway through the tweaking of my living room and am loving all the colors but I have to admit I am a bit nervous to see it all come together.

I spent an evening last week sewing up these pretty pillows for the sofa.  The top and bottom ones were made from vintage sheets that I finally found the nerve to cut into.  The others are fabrics I already had in my stash.



I purchased a new bold geometric shade at Target in a teal blue and spray painted the base of the lamp in sunshine yellow.  Bold I know...but I love how it turned out.


Other than this sneak peak at the pillows, I am saving the rest of the room until the walls are painted white.  If the weather holds, that should happen this week.

I better get back to it or I will never get it done!

Have a wonderful weekend...

xo, Patty

I'm joining Elaine over at Sunny Simple Sundays...

    Have a great weekend! I'd like to say have fun painting, but I know that painting isn't exactly fun. Take plenty of fresh air breaks. Looking forward to seeing the whole room.

    Hi Patty, I can not wait to see what you've done, when it all comes together.
    I think it is going to be a charming cheerful space:)
    After the gray winter we have had. . . I am ready for bright and cheery.

    Patty,

    The colors are so cheerful.

    I cut into many sheets and quilts through the years and I must say...I was always nervous, especially with the quilts. But, I always loved the results.

    Can't wait to see.

    Great pillows! I'm eager to see everything you've done! I need to purchase an inexpensive sewing machine sometime soon so I can sew up a couple of pillows. I just can't seem to make myself do it by hand. Blessings for a great week! Bess

    How I love your pillows. I have a large collection of thrifted vintage sheets. They are so soft and cozy. I haven't had the nerve to cut into them...but, yours give me the courage.
    Thanks for sharing, my friend,
    Carolynn xoxo
