“Know Your Presidents” says the old hankie I recently bought at an antique store in Jefferson. I knew when I saw it that I’d make it into a pillow.
Of course, I never thought to repurpose old hankies into pillows, that is, until I saw this easy tutorial, so easy in fact that any newbie seamstress like me can make this pillow.
The new pillow looks fabulous in my Americana living room, as I thought it might.
Oh, and this pillow has an envelope back, too.
(Pillows are of no use to me if I can’t remove the pillow form to wash the pillow cover!)
I’ve discovered a new love of using old textiles to make new creations. Making more vintage hankie pillow covers are definitely on my “to do” list.
Where did you get your sofa and are you happy with it? I’m looking for something relaxed and casual like that. I’m assuming, since you have dogs, that the slipcovers are washable?
