I have been on the search for outdoor pillows for a few weeks now.I wanted pillows for on our new Muskoka chairs that we got for our back porch.
I also wanted the pillows to be green, to match our 'Green Party' that is coming up, and I wanted them to have a nice pattern to them as well (as apposed to plain green or simple stripes).
I was either finding really expensive outdoor pillows ($40 per pillow!!) or plain green pillows with basic stripes on them.
SO when I came across this gorgeous outdoor fabric at Fabricland I thought "Why don't I just make my own?"
It helped too that Fabricland is having a 'Birthday Sale' and all of their regular priced fabric is %40 off.
The pillow forms were also %40 off!
The pillow forms were also %40 off!
So I ended up getting 1meter of fabric (enough for two 16x16 pillows) for only $8.40 and then I got the two 16x16 pillow forms for only $11.39.
There was also enough fabric left over to make a table runner for our patio table - so now I will have a matching patio set.
So for $19.79 I got two really nice outdoor pillows and a table runner to match!
They only took me about 1 hour to make and I followed the 'Envelope Style Pillow Cover' method that I found on Youtube (tutorial below).
Here are how my pillows and table runner turned out:
