Tutorial: Vintage sheet flower pillow

by

Tutorial: Vintage sheet flower pillowLinda from Burlap and Blue shows how pretty a flower can be when made up out of vintage sheets.  The oversized dimensional flower is sewn to the front of a pillow cover.  She shares a tutorial showing how to make it.  The vintage sheets and natural dropcloth create a lovely vintage-y look.  This would also be pretty out of solids or designer cotton prints.  Go to Burlap & Blue for the how-to.

Vintage sheets are very popular for re-styling or recycling of fabric and a great way to use these fun and bold prints rather than just storing grannies old bedsheets in the cupboard.  You can see more articles using vintage sheets here.   Don’t have any vintage bed sheets of your own? Check these out on Etsy.

  2. Your link goes to a ruffled scarf. I found the Burlap and Blue website but not this project. I would like to make this pillow. Could you give me the correct link?
    Thanks

    • Sorry for that! A copy and paste error on my part. I’ve corrected the post to have the correct link. Thank you for letting me know so I could fix it. –Anne

Etsy Spotlight: A Moo-velous Make for Highland Cow Lovers

Okay, confession time: I’ve always dreamed of having a Highland cow as a pet. There’s just something magical about their shaggy coats, sweet eyes, and gentle nature that makes them utterly irresistible. But since zoning laws (and my backyard) don’t quite allow for the real thing, I’ve found the next best option — this Highland Cow Sewing Pattern on Etsy.

This adorable PDF pattern lets you stitch up your very own fluffy Highland friend, complete with detailed photo instructions that guide you every step of the way. Whether you’re crafting it as a cuddly toy, a cozy décor piece, or a unique gift, this little cow brings all the charm without any of the farm chores.

It’s suitable for confident beginners and experienced sewists alike, and with the right fabric (faux fur, anyone?), you can really bring that signature Highland cow fluff to life. And yes, I’m already picturing a mini herd in festive scarves come Christmas!

At CraftGossip, we love supporting independent Etsy sellers who bring whimsy and heart into their handmade patterns—and this one is a standout. So if you’re like me and secretly dream of Highland cows roaming your living room, this might just be your next feel-good project.
