Hi everyone,
Remember my post about the 5 minute cushion?
Well I just went back to read and try it again.
You can find the tutorial here.
I’ve had my eye on this brownish gray linen damask for over a year now and couldn’t decide whether or not to get it. I wanted to use it in the breakfast nook but it would have clashed with the apple green damask wallpaper in there and the thoughts of tearing it down wasn’t appealing so I decided against the fabric.
I seen it again at Fabricland and there was only a couple of meters left but it was 66% off so I knew it was meant to be,
I was able to make 2 of these 5 minute cushions covers for $12!
I put them in the family room where they go great with the burlap and linen cushions that are already in there.
The cover is a basic envelope style and once you calculate how much fabric you’ll need and cut out your piece it literally will take you five minutes to sew it up!
If you can sew a straight line you can whip yourself up a set of covers in about 10 minutes.
(Not including the time it takes to calculate and cut your fabric especially if you’re mathematically challenged like myself).
A meter/yard or two of fabric and you can change things up in a few minutes!
Have a great week,
and whether you are sewing challenged or not hope you give this a try!
Blessings!
I’ll be partying with these ladies this week:
That is such a beautiful fabric, Kim! Looks great against those gorgeous white slipcovers. And what a deal you got on it, too! Ever since you posted that tutorial, I've made all my pillow covers envelope style…and recommended this method to anyone I know wanting to make pillows. It's so incredibly easy, why would you want to bother with zippers or buttons?
Hope you have a great week!

Beautiful pillows Kim…love that fabric! Pillows are the best aren't they…a girl can never have too many! ~Deb~
I love the fabric, it is soooo stylish and looks soo great with the other pillows! I am not sure I can make the pillows though, because I am EXTREMELY (!!!) mathematically challanged hahahaha. But since I love them so much I can always try, can't I?
Have a lovely day:)
Love the fabric and love making those pillows…thx again for that tip a while back…it has come in handy for me!!

The pillows look wonderful! I have curtains in that same fabric and I just love it!
Those add just enough color! Great choice, thanks for the tutorial!
Your pillow looks great. I haven't seen that fabric in our Fabricland. I need to go this week and see if I can find some white linen, I shall keep my eye out for that gorgeous fabric, too!
I found your blog over at "Happy at Home" and then I realized, upon reading your blog, that you are Canadian. I am in Winnipeg and am a Christian also, like yourself.
Have a great week and God bless.
Hugs, Cindy
Oh so very pretty…love the print and really love how it only took you 5 minutes!!! Hop over and share it later today at NTT!
Blessings,
Linda

What beautiful fabric and it was totally meant to be!! I will have to re-read your 5 minute cushion, I have some that I would like to make.

Truly pretty fabric! They look great with your white slips. I love envelope pillows, so easy to make and take off and wash when the kids or dog get to them 🙂 I made three 22" pillow slips Friday night. We are temporarily using a twin bed as a couch in our basement tv room (stairs are difficult to get a couch down) and the big pillows make it more like a day bed.
Your blog is so inspiring and I am in love your style and decor!!! Beautiful fabric and pillows. Thank you for posting the link for the tutorial; my Aunt gave me her sewing machine and it just may be the starter project I need to try my hand at sewing 🙂
Those are great! I like the button one but I will have to stick to ones without them.
Beautiful fabric, thanks for the tutorial. Quick and easy, that's the kind of sewing projects I like.
absolutely gorgeous, and you make me believe i can sew a pillow cover! and i need pillow covers! thanks.
