Ugly torn up pillow.
Cozy sweater covered pillows.
This is just a simple pillow makeover using sweaters that I got from the thrift store for 20 cents each.
They were nice cable knit sweaters but the shapes were not flattering on me and my throw pillows were in sad shape.
They are faux leather (vinyl) and have been abused to the point of falling apart.
I simply used a lower section of the sweaters and cut to size, sewed inside out leaving the bottom edge of the sweater open. Turned right side out, stuffed the old ugly pillow inside and then hand stitched the open edge closed.
If I were a little less impatient I would have sewed a zipper in that open end in order to make it easier to clean them. I will most likely do that in the future because I have a house full of kids and they are bound to get something spilled on them.
They look much nicer on the leather sofa than on the recliner shown. This is a super easy project that even the kids can do.
