I think it's a double thrift bonus when it's remade with a new thrifted backing, don't you? Like using up at least the letter J in a game of Scrabble.
Just think if that pillow insert was from the thrift store, how high my score would be!

Butterfly Pillow, Rebooted
I thrifted this crewel-work pillow back when it was smaller, and didn't have a border. Enjoyed it for a few years, until it started to give out.

Nice... but I'm curious about the pillow in the background. Looks like it has a beautiful butterfly design...

Susan, that was a lucky brand-new thrift store find itself.
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable. I have a piece of needlework I must have completed over twenty years ago, in my teens. I looked at it yesterday and decided it would make a fun pillow. I plan to do much as you have done, so thank you for the visual!
