Feeling Crafty: DIY Pillows

via Bliss
For awhile I've been toying with the idea of getting my own fabric to make simple square pillows for my couch. This is partially due to the fact that actually buying pillows is entirely to expensive, and partially because of super cute fabrics that I keep finding on Etsy. One of my current faves is this pusswillow fabric from cicadastudio's shop. Wouldn't it look great on a light green couch (like, ahem, mine).

Anybody actually made their own pillows before? Where do you get your fabric?

    oooooh, I like the fabric. Beautiful and sweet at the same time.
    I've never made my own pillows...I've only ever made my own ipod holder out of felt...and I used superglue. I'm not so crafty.

    I make my own clothes, not to mention pillows! Just today I made the cutest backless shirt! I get my fabric from Joann fabrics. You can look at fabric from them at joann.com. They have the best stuff for cheap! Even swimsuit fabric!

    love this fabric! so cute! and I agree with katey that it would look even more adorable paired with yellow pillows! I haven't made my own pillows in long while but I have done it and it's not too hard. totally worth it because like you said, pillows can be expensive. you'll have to post a pic if you make some!

    I know when I was younger my mom used to make pillows out clothes I had grown out of. Especially ones that were made out of velour type fabrics.
