This past summer I picked up some bolts of fabric at Ikea, they are about 3 yards each and the fabric is 50" wide. They were $4, I should have picked up more! I got one stripe in both red/orange and one in blue/green. I have now made seven pillows! They are so bright and refreshing. There is even more fabric leftover!
Isabella is an excellent pillow model! |
Red/Orange Stripe - 18" pillows |
20" Pillows |
Basketweave pillow - 20" |
I went back to Ikea this fall looking for more fabric, I wanted to make some cute Amy Butler floor pillows, but it wasn't there! Boo! Hopefully it will come back. Frankly I'm debating putting some wide stripes on Spoonflower so I can make more things. :)
I quilted the tops of the pillows and put fusible interfacing in the back, it's just a flap that I embellished with a smidge of the stripe. The pillows are soft and feel very nice. It is just the 2 sets of stripes that I manipulated in as many was as possible!
The backing fabric is all from ikea (save the orange flannel) It's all adorable. |
And to plug my triangle calculator. I used it to make all but the basketweave.
This blog post is a bit late because the floor pillows are causing me some trouble, today I was able to sort them out and I hope to be finishing them in the next day or so. I tried something tricky... It will be OK, but it's taking forever.

Mmmm...IKEA fabric. Makes me sad I live 400+ miles from my nearest IKEA.
