All six of the denim pillows are finished. I'm calling them the Salvaged series, as all the denim and lining are upcycled from worn and washed clothing and linens.
Two of the designs are more swirly.
Salvaged:Filament Denim Pillow
Salvaged:Coastline Denim Pillow
And the other four are more symmetrical.
Salvaged:Aperture Denim Pillow
Salvaged:Jigsaw Denim Pillow
Salvaged:Asterisk Denim Pillow
Salvaged:Compass Denim Pillow
Originally I had planned to finish the edges with doublefold chambray binding, like the
first asterisk pillow. But I opted for a simpler turned edge with topstitching. A few got a double row of topstitching, but there are as many as 10 layers of denim (including the seam allowance) at some points, and that proved beyond the capabilities of my sturdy little machine.
Each pillow has a concealed brass zipper on the back with a brass chain pull and rivets for reinforcement at the zipper ends. The lining is yarn-dyed cotton sheeting.
All six pillows are available in my
Etsy shop. Just in time for last minute holiday shopping!
