Sweet Muslin and Burlap Pillow Covers

Pin It



I have just relisted my handmade pillow covers in my Etsy shop. I LOVE the vintage, shabby chic look of these ruffled pillows trimmed with vintage style lace and rosettes. Just picture one of these as a ring pillow for a country, farm or barn wedding. Perfect!

The combination of the soft muslin with the texture of the burlap just gets to me. Love it!
They have envelope style closures on the back side, sewn of muslin. They are 12" square and fit a 12" pillow form, which is NOT included in the listings.

This is a pillow with a stuffed form inside since not everyone has a bolster shaped pillow form.

Ah, Rhett Butler's shirts had this kind of pin pleating and ruffled detail, don't you think?

This white burlap with a white muslin ruffle is pure prettiness. With the lace and buttons and my hand sewn rosettes, it's just so beautiful.


I'm thinking Scarlett O'Hara's trousseau had ruffled muslin detailing like this, don't you?

More burlap and ruffled muslin and french style rosettes. Gorgeous.

Now, this is the detail a pretty nightgown or shirtwaist used to have on it. I love the old dressmaker details!

Smocking gives a texture all it's own, and this pillow cover of burlap and denim is the perfect shabby chic combination.
More sweet ruffled goodness. Lovely! I hand sew each rosette. No glue is used in the construction of these pretty pillow covers.

They look stunning grouped together on my chocolate brown couch. If I had the courage to go with an all white living room, these pillows would be one of the anchors of my decor. Sigh, not with a chocolate lab in the house! But, maybe in our bedroom......

Stop by my Etsy shop and check out the details on these pretty pillow covers. And look at my other listings while you're there, you never know what you will find!

New in my Etsy shop this week!

Rosette necklaces for Halloween and every occasion. All are about 5 1/2" wide by 3" tall.


Turquoise and silvery brooch nestled with ribbon rosettes. Love this color!

My newest "tiny nest" necklace. Perfect for weddings!

Ahoy! When I found these tiny skull and crossbones charms, I knew I had to build a necklace around them. Yar!

I call this the mocha combination. Yum, mocha latte.

Another tiny skull with crystal eyes. Perfect for that Steampunk-Goth-Lolita-Vampire- Victorian-Zombie-Halloween costume.


My new craft room colors....teal, sky blue, red, cream and silver. Love it.

More teal blue and turquoise loveliness. How I love these colors!


And this would be chocolate and toffee and french vanilla and coffee and amaretto and cream.
Would that be my new favorite ice cream flavor?

Blood red crystal eyes in this pewter colored skull make this the perfect necklace for a Pirate Wench, don't you think? You have to wear this to your Halloween Party!

I'll be listing more rosette necklaces for Christmas gifts and suitable for a wedding soon. Check back, wouldja?
