Coffee Sack Pillow

Well, I now know what I will be making with all my burlap coffee sacks...large pillows. I made this one last week for our open house and it sold within minutes. I would have made more, but I need to get more large pillow forms, so off to the store I go!!! I really did like how it looked on my guest bed, so maybe I will just make me one too.
                                                 Blessings,
                                                   Linda

                                           Perfect look here in my
                                           guest room...don't ya
                                                      think?
               


                                        Just a tad bit large for this
                                        chair...oh well...it wasn't
                                                here very long!
                                        I would love to have you

    I love it, Linda! I have a pillow form that size just waiting for some nice fabric. I have to hit Joann's; I'm looking for some of that patterned burlap.

    The fabric is from a burlap coffee sack...didn't come from a fabric store.

    I just came upon a source here locally for coffee sacks with all kinds of graphics on them. I did the same with mine and the response has been great! Love the idea!

    Very pretty -- I can see why it sold so quickly. LOL -- the obsessive compulsive part of me would stand there for hours trying to figure out what the letters stood for.

    Love the pillows. My daughter has some she bought at Pottery Barn and I know they aren't as nice as your home made pillows.

    Great pillow, Linda! Every pillow I put in my booth sells. I think I price them to low, but that's OK.
    I pick up feather pillows at the Thrift Store. I don't care what the cover looks like, I just check out the insert and make sure it's clean! Always less then $5.00!

    That pillow is amazing! Perhaps I should make & stock at my Etsy? Just need to figure out where to find the coffee grain sacks ...

    So very, very happy that you linked up to our Pillopalooza slumber party!
