I'm bringing fall into my living room this season with an easy NO SEW BURLAP LEAF PILLOW!
Fall is my favorite season... I love everything about it! Chilly weather, apples and pumpkins and of course the falling leaves! Lots and lots of leaves!
I'm so pleased to be a part of...
FALL NO SEW DECORATING SHOWCASE...
Four other inspiring bloggers are also sharing their NO SEW talent! Make sure you visit their blogs for all their fall creativity!
Making my NO SEW BURLAP LEAF PILLOW is easier than you think... you start out with a store bought pillow cover. You don't even have to make the pillow!!!
Here, I'll show you how...
STONEGABLE NO SEW BURLAP LEAF PILLOW DIY
1 store bought pillow cover (I got mine at the Pottery Barn Outlet)
1 pillow insert (I use down inserts)
burlap in various colors
fusible webbing for heavy duty fabrics ( I used Pellon, Wonder Under)
stitch witchery
leaf patterns
1. Trace leaves on to the shiny side of fusible webbing.
2. Cut out leaves, leaving a 1/2 inch or so edge around them.
Put fusible webbing rough side down on to burlap. Iron fusible webbing onto burlap by using a hot iron/ no steam for 8-10 seconds.
Let cool.
3. Cut out leaves
4.Carefully peel of the parchment backing from the leaf. There will be a shiny film of fusible web on the leaf.
5. Arrange the big leaves on the pillow cover in a wreath
5. Iron the leaves on to the pillow cover according to package directions.
Arrange the smaller leaves on the wreath and iron the smaller leaves on to the pillow cover according to package directions.
8. Let cool. If any leaves did not stick well, affix them to the pillow cover with stitch witchery, following package instructions.
Put the pillow insert in the pillow.
TA-DA!
Wouldn't this look pretty made with colorful fall fabrics too!

Thanks for this easy-peasy tutorial, Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteTa-Da is right! That is gorgeous. I can't believe how you did that, it looks so beautiful. I'd never guess it was attached that way? You've got such great style!!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and I LOVE that it is no sew!! Fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty pillow, Yvonne...and so easy, too! You know I am addicted to them, too! lol I’ve had fun working with the “No-Sew” gals!…hugs…Debbie
ReplyDeleteLove every square inch of this pillow and you can rest be assured I will be copying, um, I mean borrowing this idea. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for being part of our No-Sew Showcase. Love having you as part of our little group. xxoo
Very pretty! So natural looking and full of texture.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Thank you for sharing this beautiful pillow idea! I hope to make it this fall.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Yvonne! It puts me in the fall mood and you make it looks so easy! Thanks for the instructions!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
I love it Yvonne. Beautiful job and oh, so clever.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! Your leaf pillow is a perfect soft look for Fall. Great choice of pillow and burlap colors.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, I am not really a sewer, more of a decorator, however, I think Ihave an idea for your pillows. I came across your blog looking for link parties, do you still run one? I have a guest bedroom makeover I would love to share.
ReplyDeleteLee :)

Deletewhomever invented the fusible webbing is a genius. The cover surely looks grea
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Yvonne, love the texture and the softer side of Fall colors,
ReplyDeleteKathysue
Oh my cuteness, Yvonne! You are giving me so many ideas!!! I love making my own pillows, but haven't thought about repeating a pattern in a wreath form...genius!!!! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Yvonne, This is a fabulous idea. I do sew, but you have certainly turned my head with this cushion. You are a very talented and inspiring lady.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes to you,
Daphne
I love ALL your pillows and they are always a great inspiration. I was looking for the "No Sew" tutorial on the banner. I know, I know, I'm late to the banner party but mention no sew when I want to make one for an old window and I'm all on board. I hope you can tell me where to link.
ReplyDeleteYvonne, that is just darling. You did a wonderful job, it's just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI don't sew and I'm paying very close attention to this series!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try this. Also, would you mind sharing two bits of your decorating info. I'd love to paint my breakfast nook table and shares similar to yours just off your kitchen. The chairs are black and the top of table and seat of chairs are stained a dark stain. Would you mind sharing the colors. Also, I have a similar kitchen issue. I've always wanted to have double wall ovens but our cabinetry will not allow for the space because of a pantry unless we completely tear it out which seems very wasteful to me as I use the pantry. I love how you solved your problem with a counter stovetop and a wall oven underneath built in a cabinet. Was it hard to do or terribly expensive. Would you mind giving the name brand of oven and how it was done briefly. Thank you. Love your blog and your love of tablescapes. You give me so many great ideas and recipes.
ReplyDeleteDeborah
Hi Deborah,
ReplyDeleteThe kitchen table and chairs were custom made from in a little local shop. Sorry I did not paint the so I can't answer that.
I am just fine with having only 1 oven. Although I would have loved to have wall ovens, my pantry was more important. I love my cooktop from Jenn Air and my wall oven works great but I find the computer screen hard to see and a little complicated. It is also a Jenn Air. If I had to do it again, I'd probably go with my second choice Kitchen Aide. The were quite pricey, but we got a $1,500.00 dishwasher for free. So they were worth the price. I LOVE my Jenn Air dishwasher, so all in all it was was a good choice!
Hope this helps!
Thank you. It's so sweet of you to share.
DeleteWhat a terrific Autumn pillow Yvonne! I absolutely love it! Thanks for sharing the tutorial too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You are so talented! I'm going to have to add this to my project list, along with your gorgeous felt stockings
ReplyDeleteLove the simplicity of this project Yvonne, as always you are spot on with your eye for simply beautiful decorating. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYvonne, once again you hit a homerun. Your DIYs, decorating and tablescapes are always so classy and professional looking....I am just in awe. By far, you give me the most inspiration of any blogger I have seen. I've told my friend Suzy of Worthing Court, we may have to take a road trip and show up on your front porch one day!!...just kidding, I would never stalk you LOL.
ReplyDeleteanything I don't have to sew is my kind of project!
ReplyDeleteso pretty Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteLove the no-sew theme. I just did a recycled pumpkin craft that is also no-sew. http://eveofreduction.com/recycled-craft-no-sew-halloween-pumpkin/
ReplyDeleteYvonne, that pillow is absolutely beautiful! I think that what pulls it all together is the natural looking braid trim on the pillow. I do alot of sewing but I definitely have to try this!! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou blow me away, that is SOOO gorgeous! You could so easily sell those, what a beautiful way to welcome fall into any home!
ReplyDeleteI love it, Yvonne! It looks like it is straight out of a Pottery Barn catalog. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteYet another beautiful and easy project from blogland's Queen of Chic! You rock!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, LOVE the pillow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is awesome!!! I wish I had 2 mins. to try something like this:)
ReplyDeleteYvonne, I love this!! I'm sharing on my FB page tomorrow ;)
