advice boutique fabric pillow

Black and white Damask Pillow

Posted on October 5, 2011

I just finished this last night.  I needed to use up the black thread on my bobbin so I could sew another gray side tie pillow.  {I know sad, right?  I should just buy more bobbins. 🙂 }  I am loving the french piping, but I definitely need to figure out the corners better.  Any good tutorials out there?  This pillow measures 12″ X17″.

This fabric is just yummy!
It’s going in the inventory pile for the boutique.
I’d love your opinion.  Like it- don’t like it- make more- one’s good?
Have a Happy Wednesday!
XOXO,
Amy

    It is gorgeous fabric. I love it. The only thing I would do differently for ME is replace the bows with some pretty black buttons. (If I could find some with a little floral pattern or something)
    Nice job!

    I love it. I need one. I like the button idea. Kind of a cleaner look…

    Great job! I can't wait for this boutique to be done so I can see you every now and then! 🙂 Love you.

    Beautiful, Amy. This one's a stunner 🙂 Maybe make another to sell with buttons since people seem to like that idea. Then people have options to choose from.

    I think is beautiful and i think if you do more maybe different details like Gwen said so they are the same but different.

    I LOVE it! So pretty. I like the bows, but buttons would be great too, or a lace-up type thing… all are gorgeous, you talented woman, you!

    And I'm in the same bobbin boat (hehe!)… I have some bobbins that have two or even three colors on them because I filled it more than I needed to with a color for a project but I don't want to empty it and waste the thread but I don't have any extra bobbins anymore…

    I love the pillow and the fabric. I just made a diaper bag out of damask. If you want to see it, you can go to:
