Slipcover Make-Over

 


The first thing that I have to do

is thank 

Nancy of The Joyful Cottage

because she is my inspiration for 

this project.

She did a post on 

Stenciling Snowflakes onto 

Drop-cloth and making gorgeous

pillows . . . all that I can say

is, check it out here:

I didn't use stencils but I did 

use drop-cloth . . .

 

 

And a combination of doilies

and a vintage handkerchief.

 


 

This is a photo of my wicker rocker.

I love the pillow and cushion,

but I wanted a change.

Not a permanent change . . .

but a washable slipcover change :)

 


 
 
Nancy has inspired me any times
through the years of following 
her amazing blog.
I am very pleased to say that she
is one of the few blogging sisters
that I have actually met in 
real life.
She is one of the sweetest people
EVER 😇.


 

Well, that's it for today . . .

Have a wonderful day

& God bless you.

 

P.S. To all of you that left comments

on my last post,

Thank you so much!

You're the best. 

 

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)

  1. Your pillow is just lovely. I have some of my grandmother's doilies, this would be a fabulous way to display them. I saw Nancy's stenciled pillows and agree, they are inspiring and I also agree that she is the sweetest.

  2. What a difference that makes! I love the light color of the dropcloth. I saw Nancy's post too about using the dropcloth, and that is now on my list of what I need to buy. I did have one but it has disappeared somewhere in the depths of my garage! I love your idea too, of using it for the pillow and cushion. I love the idea of pillow.. making them so they come off and are washable. I have two for a little pillow I use on my bed to put under my shoulder when I sleep. In fact I have 3. Two are to change in and out all year long, and then I made a Christmas one. I love your use of the doilies and hankie! You are being very creative this days friend! Hugs.. Marilyn
