A few nights ago I had an itch to break out the sewing machine.
Tried to ignore it . . . But it didn't go away.
So instead of going to bed like a good little girl I started scrounging around in my bin of scrap fabric to see what I could come up with.
Here's the newest addition to my collection of pillow slipcovers.
The case itself is just a simple envelope style which are a snap to put together. I have a tutorial, here, if your interested.
I am obsessed with hand crocheted trim of late.
Recently I found a length of red trim at the thrift store and was so excited to finally use it on something.
I thought the buttons would be a nice touch too!
I think perhaps if I copy this pattern in the future I'll make the center section smaller. But all in all I like the way it looks.
Late night sewing sessions are so much fun!
Now I'm itch'in to try a white on white version of this pillow with pretty mother of pearl buttons. Wouldn't that be pretty?
Have a great day everyone,
Robin

Gorgeous! I love the simplicity of the red lace and red buttons on natural fabric - classic and smart! It looks so good on the chair.

I love the red buttons you added and the red crochet ribbon is such a pretty touch. I like how the red in the pillow matches the curtains that are peeking in the back of your photo. Thanks for the visit!
