first up, inspired by this flamenco shower curtain from anthropologie and following a tutorial from a little lovely..
i upcycled one of daniel's old work shirts and made this.
in a cosy spot of sun...
p.s. i really needed a bite of that toast right in the middle of this photoshoot! hah!
buttons closure at the back of the cushion...
ruffles ruffles galore! :)
this one will be a great piece to lounge on. its truly as fluffy and comfy as it looks!!

you made that pillow case???? faaar out. it looks soooo amazing!!!!! i saw an expensive 'Sheridan' europe pillow cover that was knitted like a jumper.
ReplyDeletewinter in Oz....... i thought it would be hella cool (or warm in this case) to have the pillows and sheets feel like a snuggly, comfy warm jumper. re-using an old shirt is genius!! (sustainable too)
you need 2 shirts though right? :P
nice!
ReplyDeletehaha... did D know you were converting one of his shirt into a cushion cover?
In fact that looked really nice. You should convert more shirts into cushions!
:)
Brilliant babe!!! Did little muu muu lap the ruffles up?
ReplyDeletePS: You make the best toasts!
@guerrrilla
ReplyDeletehmmm a cosy knit pillow in winter is pure bliss! :)
wow! you're pretty switched on! i used one shirt only but for the ruffles it was a combination of the arms and scraps! :)
@kennytricia
ReplyDeleteof course he knew! hahah!! come to think of it.. i do like the fabric of one of his other shirts.. hmm! :)

@Yi Lian
ReplyDeletequite the opposite.. he wanted nothing to do with the new cushion.. he's boring like that! :)
