A little union jack pillow
Posted on 8:35 AM by follow me
*In honor of the Royal wedding today here is a repost of my repurposed union jack pillow *
I spent the weekend sewing this little pillow.
These union jack pillows seem to be rising in popularity.
I added mine to the chair in the sewing nook of my bedroom.
This is what it looked like before. I bought this shirt from the mall store "Charlotte Russe," a couple of months ago, and knew it would make a great pillow. It was too long for me to wear and had a small whole in the shoulder area. Luckily it was on the clearance rack for about $6.
I cut right through the front and back of the shirt to make the pillow shape. Then sewed around the edges and inserted a pillow form I had in the closet.
You could even make your own with scraps of fabric and lace.
And here is one done in true Rachel Ashwell style, with pretty pastels.

I love this cute tote found at

Maybe I'll have to pull out my fabric scraps to make a pastel design for the spring.
