What was your inspiration?

I love to make statement cushions and this simple style of cover shows off the screen idols. I wanted something to match a loft room style apartment

What are you most proud of?

Placing the fabric just right so that I could just get four faces on the front

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Take your time to centre the main piece if using a large motif fabric like this one

Although I would not have pillows like these in my home, I have to admit that they are AWESOME! ......Simple, yet "elegant chic"

Wonderful, wonderful pillows. Where did you get that fabric? We have a Marilyn Monroe piece hanging on our walls and this fabric would look terrific on our sofa pillows. Great job!

Thank you, the fabric was from Abakhan Fabrics North Wales UK. I have made four pillow covers with it and they are very popular.. it was very expensive but Striking I think..
