The round one is made from an apron that had a few stains. I just cut around the bad areas and used the rest. The ruffle is made from the apron ties. I did have to do a little seam ripping (taking off the stained pocket and removing the pink trim so I could reuse it).
The square one is made from napkins that I would never have used because they were a satin type of fabric and there were only 2 of them. I added the lace trim.
So next time you are thinking about tossing those vintage linens that have stains you can't remove or a few holes, consider repurposing them instead : )

ReplyDeleteHi Tina!!
ReplyDeleteSo excited to see your lovely pillows, and thank you so much for sharing them with us for my party! I'm loving how you used an old apron to make a sweet pillow..it turned out beautiful! And the hanky..now that is a project I could go with and make dozens! They're so pretty you just have to SEE them! Mine are all folded up into a box for storage and just sit there.
Love your style!!
Blessings,
