I've been making my ruffled muslin pillows trimmed with lace, buttons and rosettes for my Etsy shop for awhile, and I decided to try some burlap for the neat contrast between it's rough weave and the muslin's softness. So here is my first design. I like it alot.
I put the wide ruffle on first by sewing it down the middle, but it needed something more, so I added the vintage lace down both sides. Hmmm, I tried a row of buttons down the middle but it needed a little something something. You know me, I'll put a rosette on anything! So after placing three muslin rosettes I added two more of satin ribbon and then just a few mixed buttons for accent. Ooh, I really like it!
I had it on my couch and I LOVE the combo of soft and rugged with these two fabrics! Can't wait to make more of these! I decided to post it in my Etsy shop, see if anyone else liked this combo too.And this pillow has SOLD! Looks like I'll be adding burlap and muslin pillows as a regular item to my shop. I just love when a design comes together like this and looks so good. Now I have more fundage to buy more burlap, it's a win win! There's a button to my Etsy shop on my sidebar. I'm having a FREE SHIPPING sale on any TWO of my ruffled muslin pillows, go check it out!
