Did you know how many amazing fabrics Spoonflower has?!

I was blown away & to be honest it took some time for me to make a choice because I

seriously loved so many!

Over the weekend I tackled an easy project using my favorite Ikat Chevron

to makeover a little nook under my stairs.

Yup, you guessed it, I made pillows:).

Pillows are the easiest way to give your home a custom & stylish look

without breaking the bank.

2. I cut 2-19″ x 24″ for the backs.

I then cut those in half long ways.

DIY Mudcloth Pillows Using A Paint Swatch

I have been loving the look of hand dyed indigo & mudcloth pillows lately. Recently I bought a few indigo pillows from THIS Esty shop and they are beautiful. So I thought it might be fun to pair them with a fun DIY to complement the look. The best part, these mudcloth pillows cost just $6 each, which is a nice way to balance a splurge.

Happy Friday! Remember THIS post from a while back when I talked about my love for woven baskets and how I had seen a basket at Target and knew it would make for a perfect pendant light? Well I am finally sharing the details. Let me also say this project is SO easy, anyone can make this. The best part, it makes a really stylish impact with a modern coastal vibe, perfect for this time of year.

  1. Dear Jen, I love how you have incorporated beautiful neutrals in your home and how by
    adding a splash of color a season or holiday is reflected. Your interior colors remind me of
    the colors one sees at the beach. So pretty.

  3. Looks like we had the same idea, girl! I love your tutorial. I’ll have to do that next with the corners on my pillows. Great tip 😉 Sharing & pinning.
    Hugs,
    Jamie

  5. Good idea to angle the corners like that. I’ll remember it. Your nook can change with the seasons and that is so fun! I bought one of those beautiful sheep rugs…but my cat destroyed it. Now it is in her bed and every time I walk past her, I think, she really pulled one over on me!

  6. Love the material you chose. Chevron patterns are my favorite. The nook looks beautiful. Love it!!

  7. Absolutely love the pillow fabric. For longest time I thought I didn’t like IKAT patterns but now I look for them purposely,love them. Just took this old dog longer to decide. HL has some nice duck cloth ikat patterns, have you seen them? Love them. The chevron ikat is gorgeous. Great choice to make pillow covers with. You do a wonderful sewing job on everything you do. Would love a table runner in that print you used. I’m always so inspired in what you do, no matter what.
    I got some incredible curtain panels with grommets at T.J. Maxx this week. They’re a light gray with a white pattern on them. Love them. Very different from what I’d usually buy or make. Decided to go for them. Almost didn’t get them but there were only 2 pairs so didn’t want to miss out. Two panels for $24.99. 78 x 84
    I always love to see what you’re doing, I get the itch to fix things up when I see your wonderful projects. Happy Easter

  15. I admire anyone who can talk about sewing pillows like that so casually! The smallest and simplest sewing project is a challenge for me, you make it look so easy! I really love the rustic wooden bench (chest?) in your nook. You’ve probably mentioned it before, but I’m a new reader and that was the first thing that caught my eye!

  19. Hi. Love your nook!

    Regarding the pillows using the spoonflower ikat chevron fabric, can you tell me which specific color was used and which choice material you used. Just by eyeballing it, I purchased what I thought was the correct one and it is so dull looking and the fabric doesn’t look as nice as the pics above. Thank you!
