Pier 1 Napkin to Fab Pillow DIY



I LOVE the look of script on fabric but I haven't found any that is just right, so this fabric napkin at Pier 1 was perfect! Alas, it was the last one. But at $4.95 for a generous 20" square napkin with pretty black crocheted edging, it was a real find!




As you can see, the writing is wonderfully done with the theme of being thankful. 


I hemmed a muslin square all the way around then
carefully sewed it to the napkin so the pretty edging would show.


And here SHE is!

I crashed my stash for a down pillow in just the right size then put the cover on it.

LOVE IT!


She is relaxing now with her pillow family on my bed. This is where I put all my pillow cover designs to see if they fit with my whole eclectic collection decor theme and are worthy of my Etsy shop. I really am pleased with this project! She was quick and easy and low cost and fits in perfectly with her siblings.

  3. Thank you for visiting me and for your sweet comments.
    LOVE the pillow! Great idea.
    A girl after my own heart. I am a pillow addict. I have a wonderful collection of antique pillows. I love to change them out with the seasons and holidays or just for a new look. You can change the feel of a room just by changing out the pillows.
    Great post. Thanks for sharing.
    Will visit again soon.

  9. Hi! I made this pillow last fall and even made some as Christmas gifts for family members. Nice to see Pier 1 is still carrying the napkins.
