Okay, let's just start this by saying D is convinced I've been inhaling the glue a bit thinking a throw pillow heavily decorated with buttons is anything other than nuts...or an alternative for those super sexy beaded car seat covers! But I had this idea see, and well, just needed to see what it looked like in reality!
I was picturing this on a charcoal wool blanketing fabric - a modern, vaguely industrial chic if you will. But (and there is almost always a but!) in an attempt to use only what I have already, I grabbed some old dark denim from the stash and used that instead. I spent hours sewing on those itty bitty buttons, but unfortunately, I think the denim-button combo has rendered the finished product a bit more Pearly Kings and Queens of the 80's than modern chic. What say you? Am I being over critical, or should I send it direct to London?
I don't think I have it in me to redo it on another fabric (I have since remembered - and subsequently dismembered! - an old grey woollen blanket that was in storage for future cushions!)
that's a really cute pillow!! so creative!
