So I finally decided to join the burlap craze and make some cute cushions ready for spring. There is snow outside and it is freezing cold in my flat... but whatever.
I have Spring in my heart!
This is my first time working with burlap and I am very pleased with how it came out!

This is my first time working with burlap and I am very pleased with how it came out!
Materials needed:
Burlap
Sewing Machine
Glue Gun if you are lazy like me
Needle and Thread
Scrap Fabric in spring colours
A Sharpie
Printed out words in font of your choice.
4. Sew together the pillow case, right side to right side. Don't forget to leave a gap you can turn right side out again.
6.If you are lazy like me then seal the remaining gap with a glue gun... but you can totally stitch it shut properly too. :-)
7. To finish off I just added some scrap fabric yoyo's and buttons. If you don't know how to make yoyo's then check out my tutorial here.
Enjoy. :-)

Love those pillows! They are adorable. I need some of those:) Thanks for the tutorial!!
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous cushions! Thanks for showing us how they are done. Scarlett x
ReplyDeletelove these for a spring look and another reason is I don't think the kids would use these to lay on as burlap is not the most comfortable
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute and I am so ready for Spring!! I love the way the pastel flowers look with the burlap:) And can I just say you are a genius for dong that slide with all your link buttons. It gets so crowded with all the buttons..great idea!
ReplyDeleteThese look great, what an awesome idea!

ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my springy wreath. I can see that we are both ready for spring. It's definitely in my heart too! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like your blog title and the idea behind it! We have plenty of love, and not enough $$ around here too! :-)
Your pillows look great! I really like the burlap, but I have to ask you, does your smell? I bought some bulap from Hobby Lobby and it smells; I also checked at Walmart and theirs smells too. So I am just asking! :)
ReplyDeleteThese look so cute! A sharpie! What a great idea, and only yesterday I was looking at yoyos, and wondering how on earth to do them, and now I find a tutorial, yay! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteoh what a wonderful pillows!! thanks for the tutorial, can i ask what kind of pen are you using? and how exactly to transfer the words on the paper to the burlap using a sharpie? (sorry i'm kinda of dumb :) . I really want to try this! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMiss Tea: I tried finding your blog but couldn't so I hope you are able to find your answer back here! :) I used a Black Sharipe. It is just a permanent black marker. Any brand would do. To transfer the words I just put the paper with the printed words under the fabric and traced. Because burlap is a holey fabric you can see the words easily. If you have trouble you can go around the words on the paper with a black marker to make them bolder and stand out more. So you just simple place the paper with the words under the fabric and trace onto the fabric. Hope that helps. Feel free to ask any more questions. :)
ReplyDeleteYour pillows are so cute! I might just have to try this one since I have some burlap left over from anothr project. Great project - thanks for sharing!
