Christmas Drop Cloth Pillows

December 16, 2014 by Holly Gagnon 13 Comments

I caught the sewing bug last weekend.  I like to sew but I’m not very good at it.   It seems like every time I start a sewing project,  it just  takes longer than it should.  Is this just me?   Luckily, these Christmas Drop Cloth Pillows I made for my front porch didn’t take very long to make and turned out super cute.  Yay Me!

{this post contains affliate links referencing products used} 

To make the pillows, I  used plain ole’ drop cloths that your find at the hardware store.  I then eyeballed the length of the pillow I wanted, cut out the two pieces and zig -zag stitched them together leaving an opening for batting.

Since these pillows are meant to be casual outdoor pillows, I chose to keep the edges rough and frayed .  Heck, who am I kidding?  I’d display these suckers in my house too.

I used my Silhouette CAMEO to cut out an Echo Park Paper Reindeer  cut file using of Silver Glitter Iron- On Heat Transfer then  applied it on to the canvas pillows.

 

Use Fabric Fuse to close pillows

 

When I was finished applying my vinyl die cuts, I  stuffed and fluffed the pillows with batting and used Fabric Fusion to close the opening. Remember,  I told you how I’m not much of a sewer.  Did you really think I would hand stitch the pillows closed?

Love the way these Christmas Drop Cloth Pillows turned out and I definitely don’t think this will be my last Drop Cloth project either.

    Theses are adorable!! I wish I had a big front porch! I will make these for our daughter-too cute not to; & I’ll have to wait for summer to make some for me. Never thought of sewing with drop cloths; but I love the look.

    These are gorgeous and I would be more than happy to have them indoors, they look amazing with the silver glitter and the sparkling nose.
    Thanks for sharing with us this month at Silhouette Challenges.
