Linen Pintuck Pillow

By Anita 10 Comments

Before we get to the linen pintuck pillow project today, I want to express my gratitude to the best friends ever. Our little podcast DECORATING TIPS AND TRICKS just made a major milestone when we hit one million downloads this week. The podcast is barely a year old, and it’s in the top 7% of all podcasts.

Today’s episode is all about ideas for your back splash. Take a listen below.

 

This is part of our weekly French Country Friday event. Check out the participating blogs at the bottom of the post.

Okay this project is sponsored by CALICO.  For today’s project, I selected a pintuck linen embroidered with gorgeous flowers for my pillow. This fabric is Robert Allen Fresh Flowers in color Petal. I adore this fabric for so many reasons. Firstly, it’s linen, a favorite material of mine. I love, love, love linen. It looks so beautiful and quietly elegant even when it’s wrinkled, which is most of the time.

Secondly, I love the pintucks. The pintucks are ornamental tucks that are sewn in place. They are oh-so-elegant and I’ve never seen them before already added to fabric. If you want pintucks, this will save you a lot of time doing it yourself.

Lastly I love the embroidery on the fabric. It’s delicate and so pretty. Yes it’s machine done, but honestly I love just about any embroidery, whether it was done by hand or not.

This design is so pretty. It’s got some light and dark pink in it. The green leans toward the olive side. This fabric is so full of character, that I think even one pillow made from this fabric would add so much to a room. I think it would be perfect in a bedroom. The first photo shows the pillow at Evie’s desk in her bedroom. We had to show a close up instead of the entire room, because #clutter. It’s okay. We’ll get to it, when the semester is over. Did you hear? Evie is graduating from college this May!!!  Things around here are changing.

I have some fabric left over, so I’m trying to figure out where else I can add a pillow in the Fresh Flowers fabric. I love that I can make a pintuck pillow without sewing all of those pintucks.

    Exquisite fabric–and of course from Calico. I think they have a store here in Austin. How/where do you find the grainsack and coarse linen fabrics you use? (I’m not choosy about authentic or reproduction.) I found a very small monogrammed piece at vintage shop, but it was hardly big enough to make a small pillow.

    I think a pair of those in 20”x20” would be PERFECT in those green caned wingbacks on little wheels I’m using at the ends of my dining room table. I bet Peggy could use sone too!
