Orange Pleated Pillow

I really need to be getting serious about the slip covers for the remaining loveseat and chairs in my living room.  Unfortunately I'm just not feeling it right now.  So instead I made one of the pillows for them.  Yeah, a little backwards in the process, but at least I feel like I got something done.


Found this yard piece of fabric at the thrift store for $2 or less.  It was the right color I was looking for but I didn't especially love the print.  It was just too big for the size pillow I was making.  I bought it anyway and figured I'd come up with something.

What I decided was to pleat the front of the pillow so that the print wasn't as obvious.



It works for me.
I like it so much better now.

Details:
13" pillow form.
1/2" pleats
Hidden zipper closure in back.



Note:  Also made another one, using up the remaining fabric, that is for sale at my Etsy shop.

    1. Maybe the pillows will motivate me more to get everything else done.
