I'm sure you saw these sweater-covered pillows everywhere last year...usually priced at upwards of $50...
Well, I made my own...before I was blogging...so, no photos...BUT, it's not hard at all...and hopefully my explanation alone will be enough...
I took one of our old sofa pillows...it was oversized (about 24"x24") and covered in this BRIGHT red, blue & gold geometric-patterned fabric...um, yuck.
Then I picked up a fisherman's sweater (size Men's XL) at Goodwill for $6.00...
I shoved the pillow into the sweater and positioned it so that the button at the neckline and the overall pattern of the knitting was a little off-center...
Then I just cut off the sweater's arms and the excess knit around the bottom and the collar, tucked in the raw edges and whipstitched the seams closed. I love the way it looks...the texture and warm, cozy feeling it adds to my fall & winter decor is perfect...and I didn't have to pay mucho dinero for it...that's the best part.
I love it ... the texture is great!
ReplyDeletePerfect for this time of year and a great updates for pillows!! Beautiful Maggie!!! Y
ReplyDelete{You know I will coming by to take that gorgeous ottoman off your hands ;) }
so utterly adorable...I will definitely try this :)
ReplyDeleteMaggie great addition for some fall touches. Now I just need to find the sweaters to use!
ReplyDeleteThese make me want to see snow on the ground and curl up to them next to a fire with some hot chocolate :) LOVE!
ReplyDeleteI love the sweater pillow idea!! I'm cleaning my closet out and found old cute t-shirts that I thought would make cute pillows.
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea--I love the big cable-knit; I've noticed a lot of bulky sweaters for sale on the cheap at the resale shop--this would be perfect. Great inspirational project.
ReplyDeleteThese are so expensive in the stores! Love, love, love it! Especially since we have hardly any use for sweaters here in the south. It rarely gets cold enough for us to wear them, we may as well make pillows with them! Lisa~
ReplyDeleteI love the look of a sweater pillow! I'ev wanted to add them to my sofa for the fall/winter, but I'm afraid my kids would ruin them! I wouldn't feel so bad about it if I only spent a few bucks though. Hmmm...now if I only knew how to sew! LOL
ReplyDeleteI love it!! :) It looks totally high-end expensive. FAB!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I'm so doing this! Oh, I'm not sure I ever told you that I love that little abc bench too!
ReplyDeleteOOOhhhhh! I'm off to look for a sweater! Great idea!!

Great idea... sweaters pillows are the perfect way to change up the season and seem easy to make. Yours turned out beautiful. Thanks for sharing! AJ
ReplyDeleteNeat idea. Love the way you staged these photos. Different and interesting.:)
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing!!! I always love the cozy look of sweater pillows but I'm not about to pay through the nose at Pottery Barn, thats for sure!

Hi Maggie, Thank so much for joining the Open House and sharing this wonderful pillow project. My husband has a similar sweater but he will not let me steal it to make a pillow. Off to GW to look for one.
