I've been in a heart mood as of late, there is something about that shape that just eludes love and a shabby cottage feel. I wanted to bring that into my guest room, yes I girly'd it up. Hey the hubby doesn't want pink and white with roses in the master so a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do right? Here's a pic of the still unfinished guest room with the heart garland I made from Sarah' Modern Country Style tutorial.
I had two heart pillows about 6 years ago but when I moved across country somehow they never made the move sniff sniff. Why is it when you move you always seem to lose or break the things you love the most?
Anyway where was I? So what do you do when you've lost a pillow you love? Make one to replace it!
It took me a couple of days and actually I only used my seam ripper 6 times, hey don't laugh that's a record! I used the gorgeous Rachel Ashwell Roseblossom fabric and trimmed it with a lovely light green with small white dots from moda. I just love the look. So here's my heart pillow that I made to give the room a little more of a cottage feel.
I didn't want the usual two sides sewn together with no dimension so I added boxing all around and used the trim fabric on the back along with another ruffle. It also has an invisible zipper so it can be removed for cleaning. It came out looking pretty close to what I lost in the big move. What cha' think? Girly enough for ya?
I made two and put one in my Etsy Shop if you want to have your own girly pillow. #heartpillowbatten
I'm thinking of making them a permanent item in my shop using different fabrics if there is enough interest in them. Thanks for stopping by!
