I have spent today making this lovely vintage inspired pillow :)
Technically I guess this pillow is pretty vintage because I used vintage materials to make it!
First, I took two different scraps of vintage fabric and sewed them together into four strips and then I chose my favorite doily to place in the middle.
I have been saving this doily for something really good.

I pinned down the doily and trimmed all of the edges so that it would work for my pillow :)

Next, I hand sewn the doily into the middle of the fabric:

I cut a backing out of white muslin the same size as my front

sewed them together on the sewing machine, flipped it right side out, stuffed it, and used a blind stitch to stitch up the little hole that I had left :)

The lighting was pretty bad with that last pic but hopefully you can get an idea as to how lovely this little pillow is :)
I love it!!
Now I am off to spackle, sand, prime, and paint my bathroom :)
have an amazing day friends!
