My hubby and I just moved in to our very first home. It’s a small
bungalow in the heart of Buckhead. I am truly head over heels for it. Our first
furniture purchase was this mid-century modern sofa from Room & Board. With the hard lines, this pretty girl is in need of some fluffy pillows to bring
in some warmth and coziness. Visions of ikats, stripes and linens have been dancing
thru my head.
I headed off to Lewis & Sharon Textiles during lunch
today. It was like I was a little girl again set free in the Barbie isle. Rows of beautiful
fabrics, brilliant designs and amazing textures. (post on my dreams of being a
fabric designer to come) anyway – I found about 100 fabrics I liked, narrowed
them down to about 20, cut some samples and skipped back to the office in time
to spread them across the floor to show Ally.
I picture large linen pillows with smaller ikat pillows to bring
in color. Maybe add a subtle stripe on the reverse side of the pillow.
These are my top 4 ikat finalist:
Next weekend is my birthday (yippie!). I think sewing pillows will be the
perfect way to celebrate. Okay so maybe not, but hopefully these will get done
soon and I can share my step-by-step process for sewing piped pillows!
