Ruffly Pillow.


I made this throw pillow the other day using Amy Butler's Nigella line and the extra fabric that I cut off the length of my curtains.  It was kind of a tester for another project I'm working on that hopefully I'll be able to tell you more about soon :).


Do you find that fabric is always WAY prettier in real life as opposed to online?  I do, I always love the fabric before I buy it, but love it even more when I actually have it.  It was super fast to make, and I made the back envelope style so that the cover could be removed and washed.  That's just the way we gotta think when we have little ones, right?


I took pictures along the way as I made it, so I'll be posting a tutorial to make your own soon!  I'll also be linking to some of these great linky parties.

really cute abby. I totally agree on fabric online, sometimes it looks just ugly then when I see it in person I'm like, why didn't I buy that before!?!

I absolutely love this! I have been wanting to make new pillow shams for my bedroom. I have curtain material left over, but not enough for a flanged pillow. I have been stuck on a style. I think I have found it. Now I will wait patiently for your tutorial.

oh I like this! I made one all ruffly like the center part of yours. Never thought about putting an unruffled pattern around it as a border - lovely!
