Hi, my dearest Everyday Friends!

Over the next few weeks, I will be taking some time

away from blogging to deal with my declining

health, and possibly even have some major surgery.

But, I have lined up some very gracious friends who

have offered to Guest Post here at

The Everyday Home.

You will love each one I am sure!

I look forward to being back and will update you

as I can. I ask for your prayers over these

next few weeks.

xxoo, Barb

 

The first Guest Blogger I have lined up for you is a 

very dear friend whom I love dearly.

You will love her, too.

Please welcome Yvonne with Stone Gable.

Easy DIY Outdoor Pillows

Every once in a while we all stumble on something

that I like to call “A MILLION DOLLAR IDEA”!

Some projects make you bonk you head and say…

“Why didn’t I think of that?“

And when you make the project you think it’s the

best thing you have ever done!!!!  

This SEW EASY OUTDOOR PILLOW is one

of those million dollar ideas. And they were less

than $1.00 to make!!! No more soggy outdoor

pillows. No more “spot clean” only pillows.

No more hunting the farm fields if one blows

away. These are great little pillows that will give

your outdoor living spaces a fabulous

pop of pizzazz!!!

 

A big thanks to my friend, Barb, for asking me

to guest post. I love THE EVERYDAY HOME

and am thrilled to be here today. Lot’s of prayers for

you for a speedy recovery back to full health…

and lots of virtual hugs, too!

SEW EASY OUTDOOR PILLOW FROM A VINYL TABLESCLOTH-waterproof- stonegableblog.com

I purchased a flannel-backed vinyl tablecloth at the

Dollar Store for $4.00 and got (4) 18-inch pillows

from it. You can’t beat that for great decor style

for your dollar!!!!

It took about 30 minutes to make my first pillow,

but the second, third and fourth only took about

15 minutes each!!! They were that easy to whip up!!!

Let’s make one… it’s as easy as 1… 2……………….

well, just 1…2!

SEW EASY OUTDOOR PILLOW FROM A VINYL TABLESCLOTH-instructions- stonegableblog.com

1. Using a flannel backed vinyl tablecloth, cut out 2

pieces for each pillows. Cut out a square the size

of the pillow form you want to use and add 1/2 inch

to all size!

I made an 18 inch pillow so I cut 2- 19 inch squares.

EASY PEASY!

With RIGHT SIDES TOGETHER, sew three sides of

the pillow using a half inch seam allowance.  

Leave the bottom of the pillow open. 

2. Turn the pillow to the right side and stuff it

with a polyester pillow form. Stitch the bottom of the

pillow closed.

TA-DA!!!! How cute is this pillow?

Just think how easy and inexpensive it will be to

switch out your outdoor pillows with the

changing seasons!  LOVE it!

I’ll be making these outdoor pillows for all my

porch rockers and chairs.

      It is brilliant huh, and so much cheaper than the real outdoor fabric. Glad you found me here. Please come back to visit.

    Great idea! I would like to try this. Did you use a larger needle when sewing? I’ve never sewn on vinyl before.

    Love this idea! I just saw another post where someone made these adorable reusable snack packs from tablecloths. Now, I’m wondering what else I can make out of tablecloths? Maybe I’ll issue a challenge? Thanks for the inspiration!
