I used the bottom half of the sweater and then sewed the line that I cut. I put the pillow inside and then sewed on these three wooden buttons from my stash (I think they came from some old clothes that may have belonged to my grandmother many years ago). The pillow now lives on my couch with another pillow I made about a year ago and I think it fits well into our color scheme. I love looking at it because I remember how warm and cozy the sweater felt when I had it on (and I forget about the part about it not looking so good on me because it looks so good on my couch!).
What a wonderful idea. It is lovely
ReplyDeleteI must do this!
ReplyDeleteI have black pillows that I want to turn in white pillows and I have white sweaters...one more thing to my to-do-list!!!

I really love this—I have plans to do things similar with a whole bag of sweaters I wore in college . . . I just haven't made the time. But this is lovely and inspiring!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty buttons!
