My old sofa pillows were looking a bit tired, so it was time for a change. I had a piece of gorgeous turquoise brocade which looked quite good next to a turquoise linen. I really like the different textures here. I also had some felt in the same colour, but decided that it was too much, so I kept it simple and used only these two. I used my largest yoyo-maker to make a brocade yoyo and found a gold button in my stash for the perfect finish.
For the back I used
this great method again - it just comes together so easily that it has soon become my perfect go-to method of adding a zipper to the back of a pillow.
The other pillow is quite different. It uses the same linen as the other one for the background, but here I added double sided strips of fabric stitched on to the backing along the middle of each strip. After finishing the pillow I tacked the strips together here and there with contrasting stitches of cotton floss. I used fabric from
a pillow I made earlier and some of my precious Authentic strips, so that everything will tie in together eventually.
I used a newsprint fabric for the back of this one - nice to have something to read before taking a nap ;-)
