When I received the fabric I was so anxious to make it into pillows that I basically made the most poorly-constructed pillows in the world. No zippers here. I'll regret that eventually. I wanted to get as many pillows out of the fabric as I could, so I backed them with some honeycomb textured cotton (seen here as a tablecloth).

Melinda is amazing, as those of you who follow her blog surely know already.

diariodeunacouturier: It's a pretty fun place to look around, for sure.
Jane Flanagan: It was! It helped that everyone seemed to be so happy. Summertime!
Nedda Ebo: Yes, sometimes just browsing can be very rewarding. I hope you get a Lomo! You never know -- sometimes they pop up for a reasonable price on eBay or Craigslist.
adewvall: Thanks! I kept thinking that I was going on a "ribbon & ice cream run," which seemed pretty hilarious to me.
bigBANG studio: Thank you, I'm glad you like it! Thank you so much for your comment on the pictures! I think that little camera can make anyone take pretty pictures. It's magic.
Hello Lindello: Thank you! You should! I always want to go for a banana split, the ultimate indulgence.
Sasa: Dianas are lovely, too! Yes, I'm pretty glad we have a Mokuba, even though I rarely buy anything there!
jackie: Thanks! I thought it would be harder, but I carry a measuring tape with me and try to keep my minimum distance. Oh, I know the Olympus! I know someone who has one. Those are pretty great!
K.Line: I like Mokuba's remnants bins. Sometimes I find pretty good stuff there! Their lace is incredible. Haha, aw, she likes the classics! That's cool.
nice-etc.com / caitlin: We're kind of spoiled and have a few ice cream places nearby. In a pinch the video store near us has it too! So crazy.
Jen Jafarzadeh: It's true! Or Big Gulp runs (summer ain't summer without 7-11). Oh, I have a weakness for trim! I keep buying it and looking at it, never doing anything with it. I understand!
kater: It is amazing! You're sweet, thank you! I'll have to ask for your kitties & windows tumblr link!
jen: Yeah, so fun! Thank you!
Faux NaifL Thank you so much!
Macy: Thanks! I know -- I keep expecting to have a terrible roll but there are always a couple of really amazing pictures. I just love what it captures, especially since all I have to do is point & shoot.
thenextarrow: I agree!
Sarah: Oh it is. And there's so much that you always see different things every time.
Miss Cris: Heeeyyyy I know that Starbucks! I used to live on Euclid and Geoff and I met at that Starbucks! Haha. It is SO hard to resist. I'm not even the hugest fan of cold cold things!
Zippers or no zippers, these are fantastic!

ReplyDeleteThat is CUTE cat fabric.
ReplyDeleteSeriously the cutest pillows I've ever seen. They fit in purrrfectly (sorry I couldn't help it. total cheeseball I know)
ReplyDeleteThat kitten fabric is so ameowzing! I'll have to purchase some for me. I'm thinking a table cloth? It'll be perfect for those tea parties.
ReplyDeleteFor your pillows did you make them as envelope pillowcases or is it all stitched closed?
oh this is so funny! i was JUST thinking about her beautiful prints in honor of the new cat i adopted yesterday, so when i clicked on your blog i squealed just a little. haha! the pillows are brilliant! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, they are so adorable! I love her pussy willow one. Thinking about snagging some yardage for my birthday, but what on earth should I make with it!
ReplyDeleteYour pillows are too lovely <3
So adorable, Anabela! Pillows are the perfect way to use kitty fabric. Aw!
ReplyDeleteAAAAH. I've admired that fabric for SO long but hadn't seen it used. I love it so much. Oh, I wish I had some in my liiife.
ReplyDeleteI sort of hope that cats AREN'T the new floral because I don't want them to fade away like every other fad. :(
oh my goodness that's the cutest, sweetest fabric ever!
ReplyDeleteOh my god I am in LOVE with that material. Cats are basically my religion.
