Well, during one of my visits to JoAnn's I discovered several racks of these discontinued sample squares. They were marked down to $2 a piece but were placed in the 50% off area. So I got each one for $1!! AAAAAAAH *I sang that... with vibrato!* They measure about 17" X 17". I was working on the mad bench makeover at the time and thought a few decorative pillows would look nice on it.
I picked through each option, my eyes all a-glitter, selected 6 that seemed to coordinate but not be too matchy. My FAVE is this red paisley by Waverly.
And the back is by Liz Claiborne!! : ) I just stitched them together on the machine & stuffed them.
On this one I used leftover trim.
And on this one I used leftover piping.
If I get tired of one side I can simply flip it and it's a whole different look! And the final cost for each Almost.Designer.Pillow was under $4.00!!! Now that makes me smile *with teeth*!! Isn't it funny how sometimes the little things can do that to you? : )
Blessings!

I love your bargain pillows. I also love that you used different fabrics on each side to change your decor easily. If you love fabric bargains, check out my post on my bargain crewel that I purchased. Eleven yards of crewel for only $2.00 a yard. Let me know what you think.

The pillows are beautiful and that's a great tip about JoAnn's. I am in there all the time and did not know that. Thank you!
Beautiful. I love the thrill of a good find put to good use!
Sweet deal! Thanks for sharing!
They're beautiful!! I love the Red Paisley one, too...
I have seen so many pillows lately that I wish I felt talented enough to sew one, lol. I just gave my mother-in-law some fabric and she sewed some up, lol. But I guess I'll eventually have to attempt it. ;)
Good work! (Can you tell I am a teacher lol)
Those pillows turned out great!
They look designer to me! I love the price and the way you put a different fabric on the back, great idea!
too cute! I love the red paisley fabric!!
Hooray for a good deal! I get excited about stuff like that too! They look amazing. Thanks for linking up!
