After finishing a couple big projects the past couple days, it was time to make a 'quicky' something!

My daughter came home several years ago with this IKEA Home Dec fabric just for me. Naturally I loved it at first sight, but never really knew what I would make with it. It was and is on trend with today's fabric designs and of course the colors are wonderful too!
The fabric and zippers are from my stash and it feels just plain good to finally use some of that!
While the backing doesn't match perfectly with the Ikea fabric, it was close enough for me. (Also from my stash) I haven't a clue what color you call this or even the manufacturer, but I had plenty for both pillows.
First part of the zipper is pinned and ready for a finishing stitch. The tutorial for the hidden zipper doesn't use a zipper foot and I really like that! Not that it's such a big deal to change a foot, it's just nice when you don't have too!
When your husband says they're cool...then it must be so. Other than his creative criticism of some of my designs, he isn't exactly schooled in home decorating! Then again...neither am I!
They don't exactly hide the brown/beige boringness of the old couch, but they certainly do help!
Great Jayne! I had also a little bit that fabric, but it went for a custom order fabric basket (big one). I'm not sure if I ever even posted about that. Have to look if there is any scrap left because the triangle pattern and colours are super! x teje
ReplyDeleteThe fabric is amazing and makes for great, bold and in this case…quick pillows! I bet it looked great as a big basket too. I have a bit left over, maybe I'll give the One Hour basket a try for the first time!
DeleteI saw you post these on IG - they're so festive. And big!
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty festive and they sure have brightened up my dull boring couch!!
DeleteThey look great on your couch. Hooray for quick projects, sometimes they are just what is needed. :)
ReplyDeleteThey were quick and it was a good feeling to finally cross it off my list!
DeleteYour pillows look great. I really like that print With the triangles. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt only took a few years to finally use this fabric! A big plus…and a big plus making a quick project too!
DeleteI never think about Ikea for fabric!!! I really should go there is one 10 minutes from my home. Love the pillows
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have Ikea so close to you! Our closest is 4 hours away! I don't think they have a lot of fabric, but they do have some pretty and unique stuff!
DeleteLovely Fabric Jayne, and very professional looking pillows. They look great on your sofa. I wish I could inset zips, although I used to years ago, hmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteNo question those will brighten up your couch! Kudos to you for taking the easy route and checking something off your list... and beautifying your couch!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great print, they really bring some pop to your couch! I wish I had an Ikea close by.
ReplyDeleteLove that pop of color on your couch! Your daughter has a good eye for fabric.
ReplyDeleteYou nailed it!
