I know, I know, sweater pillows have been done and done again a million times. I have been wanting to try them for ages and I just kept putting it off. I have so many pillows as it is and I know what my husband was going to say as soon as he sees them, "What, more pillows?".
But I must say, I love the pillows.
Thanks to Steph at Crafting in the Rain, I finally got this project off my to do list.
Steph asked me to be a part of her series "Make a Splash", the project I submitted was the above pillows.
I had these two sweaters in the giveaway pile for a little while (*rhyme!). The white sweater was my daughters and the red sweater was mine.
I already had 2 pillows on hand that I made a couple of years ago and I've gotten tired of them so I cut the sweaters to fit those pillows.
I made 3 flowers out of the trim on the sleeves & neck of the red sweater.
The white sweater has sequins and I thought it looked great as is.
The pillows look kinda valentiney too!

Very sweet! I just recently got around to trying sweater pillows as well. I don't know why I put it off so long, they're fun.
ReplyDeleteIf your hubby gets too "distressed" by them, SEND THEM TO ME!!! lol I think they are brillient. It's been on my "to do" list for ... um, forever too. But I don't have any sweaters that I want to chop up. I might have to go thrifting! :)
ReplyDeleteThey're really nice. Might have to go raid the local charity shops!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I love this idea! Thanks for sharing. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteI got to pin this one!
ReplyDeleteThese are so sweet! I love the flower detail!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, These are amazing! I just shared them on FB!
ReplyDeleteYou've been pinned! I was actually looking at a couple of "haven't worn for years, but don't want to get rid of" sweaters yesterday.. Now I know what to do with them :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Sara
I totally need to do this with the sweater I cut the arms off of in an attempt to make boot socks. That was a fail but I still wanted to do something with the rest of the sweater. This would be the perfect project. Yours are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThese turned out beautiful! Thank you for sharing the tutorial. Perhaps they have been done, but for some of us, it's our first view & gotta love it!
ReplyDeleteYour pillows are great. I have these on my to do list and haven't gotten to it yet. It is in the list.
ReplyDeleteRuth
It doesn't matter how many times they've been done, when they're cute they're cute. Yours are certainly cute. I had to laugh when you told about your hubby. Mine feels the same way. I have such a pillow fetish. We have 11 on our bed right now. I made a quilt for my son's wedding last Aug. Hubs and I were in Walmart. I noticed some cute pillows that matched. As I was tossing them into the cart he pleaded, "Please NO more pillows". I laughted and told him that they wern't staying at our house. I've never seen a happier man. lol! visting from Wow Us Weds. Now a new follower.
ReplyDeleteI am always looking out for sweaters with that stitching detail! They look so amazing! Well done
ReplyDeleteFeel free to link up on my blogs linky party!

I scrolled up and down saying, "You've got to be kidding me!" You know the average person cannot pull that off right? Oh I have a green sweater I would love to do this with and put in my little office space but I promise it won't be pretty like yours. You did a wonderful job. Hmmmm. Should I or should I....NOT ;-) Side note - may I ask what font you use for Alderberry Hill? I like! Stopping by again today from Katherine's Corner.
