New Pillows for the Front Room

These pillow forms have been sitting sadly on the front room sofa without covers for many months now. You really need the extra pillow to lean on the arm rest, so we used them even in their naked state.

At a fabric sale earlier this year, I bought some purple material and sequined trim to use in this room. I glued, and then hand stitched the trim in place before sewing simple envelope back pillows covers.

They’re pretty fun…a little girly but Tom will have to live with that.

And now we know: creating the style of pillow cases with all the fabric folds is hard. I first tried this by ironing pleats into the fabric, but after about 10 rows they started to get off the straight, so I eventually abandoned this technique.
