I did it! I made a pillow without a single stitch!
So remember the Pottery Barn Bettina standard pillow sham I ordered off eBay, well basically I completely took it apart and made it it into a 20″ throw pillow cover.
I absolutely love it!
Here are the supplies I used:
First things first I stripped and ripped the thread away.
Next up was measuring and cutting the two pieces and ironing on the hem.
I ironed all the hems first and then attached the two pieces together with my nifty little Stitch Witchery tape. I’m officially obsessed with this stuff.
I normally don’t like floral prints but this fabric is beyond cute. I love the vibrant colors and how happy it makes the room feel. Wouldn’t you say so?
Looks great! What a great idea with a sham! Well done.
I love your pillow and am trying to steal your idea of turning the pb bettina pillow sham into a 20″ pillow or maybe even a lumber pillow (16×26″) . I was hoping you could tell me if you used a 1″ or 1.5″ edge seam? The current 2″ flanged edge of the pillow sham is too much . Wanted you to know I have really enjoyed seeing your projects and before and after photos. I also really appeciated the great decorating sites I obtained off your site. It has occured to me my entire house is pb with the exception of a couple RH items and it is time to start adding some interesting items and things I love, not just items I think will look good. I found Anthropologie and Etsy thanks to you and feel like I have found what I have been missing. thanks again…..Angie
