After making a pillow last week from a napkin and some jute webbing I became addicted. I started thinking of all the things I could turn into pillows!
 |
| Just so happened I had these dish towels I purchased a few weeks back and a beautiful damask curtain. Remember when I told you I had something different planned for the curtain?! Well after my men went to bed Sunday night I went to play in my sewing room. |
 |
| This is what I came up with! I had never made anything with ruffles before except for the guest room bedskirt. I figured I could just wing it and thankfully it turned out just perfect! |
 |
| This is the mate to the bee pillow. |
 |
| I am really loving how they turned out. |

I went looking for those great towels you found at Home Goods, Pamela, and only found the one set {which had the blue stripe you are showing}. I was a little disappointed, but glad I at least got the one. They are nice and big, too, so perfect for sewing into a pillow.
I love the pillow with the ruffles,
Thank for sharing.
UH-Oh- I think you are hooked now! Shall I look into a 12 step addiction program for you?;>) They are beautiful and I LOVE how they turned out! xo Diana
Love them Pamela!!
Those look great.
I think NanaDiana is right...you're hooked, now.
I agree...you're in trouble now! Just like the showercurtain/tablecloth thing....you'll see usable fabric EVERYWHERE now! LOL Welcome to the fabric nut group!

It turned out great!
Love them! The bee pillow with the ruffle is just gorgeous. Anytime you make too many, just send some my way. ;-)
Have a wonderful week!

Love your pillows! Great job! I recently sewed ruffles for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was.
I love your pillows and the way that you used your damask curtain. You'd never know if was your first time making ruffles. Great job!
They are great. I learned to make ruffles using dental floss. You hold the dental floss and zia-zag over it with a basting stitch. Pull the floss and it gathers very easily.
Beautiful pillows...love the ruffles :o)

I love your pillows Pamela. I was on a roll there for a while with my stitch witch in hand. I wish I could sew. Have not tried it in years.
Oh, these are gorgeous, Pamela! You did such a wonderful job! Now I need some of those pretty little towels.

I adore this little ruffled pillow!
Love those pillows. You've inspired me!
Great pillows...I too love making pillows out of napkins etc...My latest was using Pottery Barn napkins...
I also love using tea towels for wrapping gifts..a useful item for the recipient and no throwing away paper!...
I love they way you added the ruffles!
I love what you did. The pillows are beautiful.
