**This is a sponsored post for Online Fabric Store. I was compensated  for this post.  All opinions are my own. My new fabrics are fabulous!!**

I have a treat for you today! My group of blogging friends has a pillow palooza going on this week + your chance to win one of two $100 gift cards to order your own fabrics and supplies!!!

I love toile fabrics and decided on this pattern and a large 20 x 20 inch down pillow form.

I used my beginner level Envelope Pillow Tutorial which also used Online Fabric Store fabrics!

I needed a large pillow for the leather bergere chair in the family room. I've been using this furniture and the same pillows for a little over 10 years now…..womp womp!!!! I know this is unheard of for a blogger….not changing constantly.

When you love something, I think it's ok for it to stick around.

The seating in this room is about 20 years old! With the exception of the leather chair, all have been reupholstered.

When you spend wisely on the best you can afford in terms of your seating,

they should last you a lifetime!

The easiest thing to do is change out the pillows. That's what my mission is for our family room.

I'd like to add 2 more pillows just like this one on the solid couch and some sort of buffalo check for the patterned loveseat. 

New pillows always = affordable update

20" x 20" Down Pillow Form - 5/95

I used this 20 x 20 inch down pillow form for $13.65.

 

Covington Bosporus  Antique Red Fabric

1 yard of Covington Bosporus in Antique Red for $18.30 per yard.

You can find all the other supplies that I used along with the tutorial HERE.

Now, I'm no fancy seamstress. I can sew a straight line. I am pretty much self taught….books and YouTube.

If just making one, you can easily do in a couple of hours or less.

If you are making the same sized pillows in multiples, it's so easy to crank them out assembly line style. When I have multiples I divide the process into a couple of days.

1. Cut our all your pieces first one day.

2. Iron all pieces the same day as cutting.

3. On a new day…… If making an envelope pillow, stitch up the back seam on all pieces.

4. Pin all pieces together

5. Sew

6. Stuff with pillow and relax!

Simple toile envelope pillow tutorial for the beginner sewer via Our Southern Home #pillows #sewing

When working with a toile you want to center the pillow front on the fabric. I have a 20″ pillow form so I measured the 20×20 and marked on the fabric to cut out the front. The back really doesn't matter. It's the envelope part. You would always have it towards the back anyway.

Here is the back. The envelope pillow will allow me to quickly change pillow covers.

This is my absolute favorite toile pattern!

It has so many beautiful colors to pull from for additional coordinating fabrics. I hope to add a few buffalo checked pillows as well.

If you notice here, I changed out the throw for a lighter look. I think I'll stick with this. 

If you noticed, I didn't add trim. These pillows are used a lot!!! I wanted to create a more casual, relaxed look. 

I'm looking forward to giving our family room a little mini-makeover with changing out the pillows.

Still not wanting to sew! Online Fabric Store has you covered!

    So ecstatic to come across this post while scrolling through my FB feeds this morning! I am new to sewing and starting out with making pillows! Just shopped at the local fabric store to browse the cost of materials. Hoping to put the new sewing machine I got for Christmas three years ago to its first use soon! 🙂

    I really like the Hammond Black Embroidered and the Bromley Teal Velvet pillows from the OnlineFabricStore.
    However, my favorite is the Covington Bosporus Fabric that you used on your pillow. It is beautiful :-).
    I have a Lumbar Pillow in the Flax version of the same fabric.
    Thank you for the opportunity and God Bless You 🙂

    Christy, Love you pillow, that print is one of my favorites also. I just ordered new fabric from OFS to make drapes for my great room. Just finished dining room drapes with fabric I ordered from OFS. Would love one of those gift certificate as I will be ordering fabric from them for my bedroom.

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins!

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!
