Pecking Order Pillows...

Finally found the fabric I've been looking for....

It was called; "Pecking Order"...

Yes, it's Roosters....It had to match MY kitchen!

Recently I added a table to my window nook, transforming it into a Breakfast/Dining area...(see post here).

SOoo, I wanted to find or make pillows to match for the window seating area.

Found the fabric at Joanne's!!!

Just what I wanted!

Good things come to those who wait!

I had been searching for a while. A LONG while!

 This fabric needs to be dry cleaned. MMmm, sometimes a draw back! :S

BUT...the fabric was perfect in EVERY WAY...Color & Print!

SOOOooo, I bought it!

 AND...pulled out the Sewing Machine!

 Here is a close up of the fabric...just incase you get the notion to use the same fabric!

 I decided to cut the fabric into 1 yard pieces, 3 in all.

I turned the fabric's edges over 1", and ironed in place. 

Then I turned the fabric over again, another inch.  So NO raw edges were showing. I did this on two 2 sides, lengthwise!

 Then I sewed the two sides (lengthwise) using the sewing machine. 

 I repeated the above steps on the two remaining raw edges. 

This gave me a large finished piece of fabric.

*I made the pillows in this fashion so it will be easy to take the fabric to the dry cleaners. I won't have to pay a huge amount for dry cleaning. AND, it will be easy to place the bolster back into the fabric! :)

 I then place the finished fabric (wrong side up) on the table, and place the bolster pillow in the center....

 Then I rolled the fabric around the pillow, like a candy wrapper!

Tying both ends shut. I used twine for my ties, easy peasy!

 All you have to do is trim the twine to the length you want after tying!

*I used three pieces of twine for each end, I cut them the length of my arm, them trimmed after the bows were tied!

 The colors matched perfectly!

 I made 3 large bolster pillows in all...

The perfect finish for the nook!
