I made this pillow from a Lilly Pulitzer dress. My client got these adorable dresses, for little girls, from Marshall's for a fraction of the original cost. I wish they came in my size. I would totally wear them all!
As you will see on the photos below, the appliqués were too small to make a pillow without enlarging them somehow. I accomplished this by cutting the white denim 20" x 20" and sewing the appliqué directly to it. I could have done it by cutting pieces and then mitering the corners, but that seemed like too much work and I wanted to frame the image with a small trim. In this case, I used a pink polka dot ribbon. The 1" ruffle is also a Lilly Pulitzer fabric.
The back has covered buttons from the same fabric as the ruffle.
The pictures above are of the other dresses that still need to be made into pillows. They are all so cute. I can't wait to make the rest of them.
