Full description

The inspiration for this small lavender pillow was the button that I made a couple of years ago as part if the 100 day challenge.

For the body of the pillow I used a small piece of the same fabric that I'd used to create the button and the rest was made from a hand-dyed linen fabric.

On the join of the two fabrics on the front of the pillow, I mirrored the blanket stitch on the button as well as adding some pink and green trim.

For further decoration, I used a piece of whitework from a damaged vintage tablecloth and i stitched it onto the patterned fabric. I also high-lighted the leaves and flowers with back-stitch in vintage Peri Lustra thread and i used the same type of thread to chain-stitch around the whole piece of whitework.

Next I stitched the pillow together and filled it with a mixture of wool stuffing and dried English lavender.

Finally, I attached the button with thread, through the pillow with a bow on the back, If you wish to, the button could be removed by untying the thread and used elsewhere.

The pillow measures 13.5 cm (5.25in) square.

Designed by Louise Oakes in Egremont, Wirral
