At first I thought this was a piece of vintage fabric. That was until I unwrapped it! After picking up this up for a few dollars at an op shop I couldn't resist making my very own floral basket pillow for my outdoor chair. A tiny bit kitschy I know. But nevertheless I fell for it!
Firstly I cut out my fabric in the basket shapes.
- With right sides together sew all the way around leaving a gap at the base to stuff filling.
- Turn pillow right side out & push all the edges out.
- Stuff with some pillow/cushion stuffing. I always use an old pillow that has lost it's mojo. I always keep stuffing to recycle.
- Sew the bottom edge closed with the machine [you could insert a zip if you want].
- I added a pink bow using some left over bias binding tape. You could use anything.
Have a great weekend everyone.

What a wonderful find - you have quite the knack for finding these delightful treasures don't you :)
ReplyDeleteSo cool! Love your ideas!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely, Simone! Have a great week! xo
ReplyDeleteYes, I have to agree with you it is definitely a bit kitschy. But,nonetheless adorable and a nice addition to an outdoor seat.
ReplyDeleteThis brought back fond memories. As soon as I saw the picture I had a flashback to the early 80's when I had a pre-printed Hamburger cushion. After beng made, it sat proudly on the bed for many years until I became distracted by more grown up things and Duran Duran took over (but alas, never sat on my bed)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful pillow!
ReplyDeleteKitchy but colourful! I think it is sweet :)
