Stuck in the House Project

We’ve had a whole lot of this lately and I love it!

When the weather outside is frightful, I love to stay inside and do something creative.  I decided to use some of my fabric scraps to craft a few pillows for my porch. The fabrics that I used are leftover from my kitchen curtains.  I had enough piping and binding leftover to use as well.  I didn’t want to buy a thing, so I stuffed the pillows with quilt batting.  Total cost = FREE!

I don’t have a sewing room, so I work in my dining area and on the family room floor.  Can you see my nest of magazines in the background?

Here are my pillows on our porch.  They add a nice touch, I think.

 

I put together a centerpiece for the table using dried garlic heads.

I had a Papasan chair in college.  Isn’t this the ugliest thing ever?  Mine went to Goodwill a long time ago, but I saved the stool that coordinated with it.  Maybe it will be retro cool one of these days!

So Fugly!

The next project should be sewing a new cover for the stool.  That shouldn’t be too difficult.  It may even glam up this 1987 relic.

Here’s a view of the porch from the dining room.  These pillows were a fun “stuck in the house” project.

I’m sharing this project for Metamorphosis Monday at Susan’s Between Naps on the Porch and for DYI Day at Kimba’s A Soft Place to Land.  Be sure to visit both blogs for inspiring ideas for this week.
