A Sweater

As I was browsing the net for fabulous Valentine’s Day ideas when I found this darling DIY project on how to make a pillow out of a sweater by my longtime blogging friend Megan, from the Brassy Apple.

My goodness they’re so gorgeous I just had to show them to you!  You’ll have to head over to the tutorial on how to make a pillow out of a sweater to get the details, but here are the materials that you’ll need.

Make A Pillow

Sweater – one from your closet or thrifted
Pillow form
Measuring tape
Scissors
Needle/thread
Sewing machine
Straight pins
Embellishments (like buttons) – optional
I adore the fabric flowers that accent each pillow, they add that extra special homemade touch, don’t you think!

I can’t wait to see what beautiful pillows you make!  Thanks Megan for all your make a pillow tutorial, feel free to grab my “I’ve been featured” button from Tip Junkie.  You’ve earned it!

    I just wanted to say Wow!, and thank you for this tip. I have sweaters that are a bit small to fit me now, and hated to throw them out because they are so cute; this will help me to enjoy them longer and in a different way.

    These are precious! I have no need for another throw pillow, but I’m so tempted to make about five of these just because they look so cozy!
