Khloe's Big Girl Room-Part 2

So this pillow was the inspiration for Khloe's pillows.  I wasn't about to spend $30 on a small lumbar pillow, but I loved the felt flowers on it.

I bought $5/yd floral fabric, $8/yd pink quilted fabric, 4 for $1 felt sheets in natural and pink from Hobby Lobby.  I used $3 and $1 pillow inserts from Ikea.  To begin, cut out a flower shape in the felt.

 Fold in half and cut a slit in the center of two flowers.

 Place the slits crosswise to create your flower.  Repeat 3 times.

 Layer your flower and pull the petals in to create the desired look.  Then take a needle and thread and sew up and down through the middle connecting all of the flowers.

Place on your fabric and sew with needle and thread.



To create this look, I used my glass mixing bowls to trace all the different sizes of circles.  Then I simiply attached them together and sewed them on to the pillows.  For a pillow form tutorial, click here.

For this one, I cut out petal shapes and a small circle, layered the petals and sewed all onto the pillow.



I spent $26 and got four unique toss pillows.  So glad I didn't buy a tiny 10" x 20" for $30.

Changing up a space one pillow at a time!

So I was never really crazy about these throw pillows in my family room.  After Christmas, I headed to Hobby Lobby to look for some new fabric.

 I fell in love with this paisley print.  Using your pillow as a measurement guide, cut out your material.  Make sure to leave the fold so that you'll only have 3 sides to sew.

 Sew the edges on the wrong side of the fabric, leaving an opening to stuff the pillow in.

Fold right side out, stuff in pillow, and sew seam shut.

For $13 in fabric, I got two new pillows that I love.  If this DIY project has inspired any of you to learn to sew or become more efficient with your sewing machine, I would love to offer a class to any interested.  Please leave a comment, and I'll plan a class for all you new sewers.  If you've never sewed but want to learn, now is your chance!
