I do not have great before photos. I was way too inspired. I couldn't stop!
Picasso Pile of Sweaters!
(EC said this photo looked like a Picasso painting! LOL!)
(from thrift stores - cheapos - nice beautiful fabrics!)
Cut up strips of leftovers from a big daddy fleece sweater. I used this for stuffing!
Scraps to make some decorations on one of the pillows.
Hand sewing the leaves and branches.
Each side has a pocket. (these were the side, hip pockets on an Eddie Bauer men's sweater - complete with elbow patches - I still have those!!)
Cut the whole line of front buttons off the EB sweater - added them to the pillow for decoration.
NEXT
Old Navy vest - complete with moth holes (upper right).
Beautiful lambs wool!! Yummy!!
Cut the argyle stripes, sewed them onto the pillow. The ruffles were made with the waste band. The rosettes made from the scraps.
Golly was this fun!!!
She sits kinda pretty either way.
I did these today, Sunday afternoon!
Looks like inspiration has hit!!
Very cute! I especially love the one with the leaves and branches! :)
