Let me just start off by saying these pillows were quite time consuming....but well worth it. They turned out amazing. My client gave me a picture of some pillows that she wanted me to replicate.
The front one has a torn edge ruffle with a 1" cream ribbon topstitched over it. The pillow in the back has a rolled hem on both edges of the ruffle and is made out of a gauze type linen (ruffle part only). The main body is made from white linen.
Close up to show the ribbon and frayed edge.
Gauze linen ruffle...gathered and topstitched on the front of the pillow.
The ruffles for both pillows were topstitched to the front of the pillow (leaving about a half inch from the edge...so that I could attatch the back). Once the front of the pillow was finished I sewed the back onto the front...keeping the ruffle out of the way as I sewed.
Wish my pictures were better for you, so you could appreciate them as much as my client will. We used down forms in them...so they are squishy and yummy, the way pillows should be.
The pillows are beautiful!! I love using the torn edge. Very pretty.

ReplyDeleteHi Shelly. I was sent over by Janet at The Empty Nest. She did such a great job on her slipcovered chair. You are such a talented lady and I would love to win the DVD she is offering. Thank you so much for making it available. Debby
