SIMPLE PILLOW, BIG IMPACT


There was just a scrap of this fabric left, not even enough to do both the front and back, just enough for the front of the pillow.  And not enough of the solid linen I used on the back to do welting.  


And because I dislike installing invisible zippers (well, that WAS true until I got an invisible zipper foot for my machine, now they aren't so bad,) I did buttons.  I chose the abalone buttons from my vast collection. My client was happy and her love seat was happy.

WHITE LINEN WING CHAIR SLIPCOVER

 White linen slipcovers never go out of style!  With the short, gathered skirt, this wing chair is updated and ready for anything.  
 This time, instead of covering buttons with the linen, my client wanted abalone buttons.  It makes a nice change and adds interest to the back of the chair.
