Daughter's Apartment-Project One!

My daughter moved into a new apartment and asked for my help with decorating it. I have many projects planned, and will share them as I go along. When I'm finished, I will post the reveal! But until then, one project at a time.

A few weeks ago I created a tablescape inspired by the fabric I used as a table topper.



You can see the post here.

But, the fabric was purchased for the first project! Here is a photo of the sofa my daughter and I picked out. She bought the matching loveseat, too.

I just love the cocoa color, the rolled arms, and the soft chenille fabric. The accent pillows? Not so much.

This side isn't bad...

...but this side just won't work in my plan!

So, I took them apart and removed the stuffing. Is it just me, or is this stuffing creepy?

I got out my trusty sewing machine, which gets used about once every two years. I stitched the new fabric (which was 50% off at Jo-Ann's) and the brown fabric together.

I turned them right side out.

I left a small gap in each, so I could put the creepy stuffing back in. Then, I hand stitched them closed.

Here are the finished pillows!

Cost of this project: $15! You will see how they look in her apartment when I post the big reveal! But first, I have to get started on the next project--a hall tree!
