The other day after I made my Vintage Grain Sack Pillows, I dug out some fabric samples I knew I had stashed away. I had liked the fabric colors I just "knew" I could use them for something.
And the price was right.
So since I was doing pillows, I thought these would be perfect pillow covers to "summerize" the pillows on the couch. But, I was tired and daylight was fading so I made the LAZIEST pillows EVER. Seriously.
These fabric samples {which you can find at the fabric store when a print is discontinued} where already hemmed around the edges. So I got out some left over burlap {which I always have from my burlap and lace table runners} and cut out burlap of the same size.
I used my BFF Fabri Tac and ran a bead of glue around three of the sides of the right side of the printed fabric. I then place it on top of the burlap. You can use books or clothes pins to clamp the two fabrics together.
** Make sure you line your work space with wax paper! The burlap is loosely knit and the Fabri Tac will leak a bit and you don't want it to ruin your table! **
Pick out some coordinating ribbon and glue down on the unsealed edge to use as ties.
I waited about 2 hours to make sure the glue had dried completely then I flipped the case right side out.
That's it...a simple way to change the look of a room.
Cheap, Easy and Fast...now that's my kind of project!

| Look! I was so lazy I didn't even iron this poor burlap first. |
