Hi there!
I am Jen from City Farmhouse & I am really excited to be sharing this project with all of you!
When I began planning for the holidays a few months ago,
I knew I had to have some plaid, wool pillows:).
I looked high & low for some reasonable & neutral ones but
nada-nothing.
So…I got creative after finding the perfect throw.
I thought huh…
I can get 3-18″ x 18″ pillows {+ a few ornaments} from 1 throw for 19.99,
jackpot!
I did buy the feather inserts from Pottery Barn Outlet{love} but still,
way under budget!
You can do it too, it is easy…..
The throw I used was, 47″ x 71″.
Tip-Use your finished edges for the openings for your envelope back.
From 1-18.5″ cut going across,
I got 1 full square in the middle {which is the front}
&
2 halves with a finished edge {on either side} for the envelope backs{see step #6 below}.
My cuts where 18.5″ x 18.5″ for the fronts
& I cut 2- 18.5″ x 11 with the finished edges for the envelope backs.
This is a big time saver.
When you line up your front & backs you will should be able to line up & match at least 2 sides.
I love these pillows!
And I love even more that they each cost me less than $7.00 to make,
happy dance:).
