So I caved and bought a leather sectional for the basement… I have been talking myself out of it for the past two years. Finally, I did it! I love it! But I wanted to bring in some fabrics to add some color.

Last weekend I went on a girls night out..and we ended up at Target. I found this pillow with 9 yellow rosettes on in it. 100% me! I bought it and then got on http://www.fabric.com/ the next day to find some other fabrics to go with it for the ottoman and other pillows.

I chose a large gray houndstooth that had a texture like barkcloth.

Ottoman…I found this yellow geometric print…I was debating between this one and another one by Ty Pennington. Heber liked this one better, so I went with it. Then I remembered my sister had a roman shade made for her kitchen window, and from memory I was sure it was the same fabric.  Then I was really excited, because I had seen this fabric in person and knew I would love it.

— Just added on a team to run the Moab relay next weekend!
— I am currently working on 3 couches, eight chairs, 4 ottomans, some cushions and pillows….I’ll have lots of pictures once I finish everything.

The Daily Herald, a local newspaper wrote an article about my slipcover business. Here’s the link if you want to check it out!

Let me just start off by saying these pillows were quite time consuming….but well worth it. They turned out amazing. My client gave me a picture of some pillows that she wanted me to replicate.

The front one has a torn edge  ruffle with a 1″ cream ribbon topstitched over it. The pillow in the back has a rolled hem on both edges of the ruffle and is made out of a gauze type linen (ruffle part only). The main body is made from white linen.

Close up to show the ribbon and frayed edge.

Gauze linen ruffle…gathered and topstitched on the front of the pillow.

The ruffles for both pillows were topstitched to the front of the pillow (leaving about a half inch from the edge…so that I could attatch the back). Once the front of the pillow was finished I sewed the back onto the front…keeping the ruffle out of the way as I sewed.

Wish my pictures were better for you, so you could appreciate them as much as my client will. We used down forms in them…so they are squishy and yummy, the way pillows should be.
