Sharing showing off the last project I made for my sister’s “picture perfect” nursery.Yes, I made this {awesome} Monogrammed Chevron Pillow.  Yes, it’s like my FIRST real sewing project.  Yes, It goes all matchy-matchy with the rest of the nursery decor I made.  Yes- lil’ proud of myself too…{pats on back.}Anyways, my sister delivered her beautiful, little blessing a few weeks ago and everyone is happy, happy over in the house full of W’s.DIY Monogrammed Pillow made with Chevron Fabric

Since this chevron fabric matches the gorgeous rug in her “picture perfect” Pottery Barn Kids Safari Nursery, I wanted to make a throw pillow for her glider so she’ll be all comfy-comf during those long nights ahead.

I cut out the W monogram with my Silhouette using Heat n Bond as an interface.  My intention was to ONLY use Heat n Bond ’cause remember this was my FIRST real sewing  project and I definitely wasn’t confident in my sewing abilities to stitch on a big ole’ ten inch W.  I did the research, I watched the videos, it should work.

Well, the darn Heat n Bond didn’t hold…Gasp!!   Unknowingly, I had purchased the Lite version.   Basically after a few tears, I was forced to purchase matching thread and sew the monogram on to the pillow…{double}GASP!

The whole sewing fiasco wasn’t as bad as I thought.  This project was definitely a challenge but I conquered my fears and I’m just thrilled how it turned out.

  3. It looks amazing! You did a fantastic job, especially with sewing the monogram…that would be tough (I would think). Thanks so much for linking up at the Real Family Fun link party! Hope to see you next week.

  5. Excellent job! Everything you made for your little nephew was adorable, but better yet, made from the heart! Put your right hand over your left shoulder and give yourself a big pat on your well deserved back!
