Just completed these little French Inspired Lavender Pillows.
Perfect for a gift to a special French-loving friend.
I decided I didn't want to use up all of my antique French Mangle cloth. It is just too precious in my stash...
So I made my own!...Well sort of...
It doesn't make it French or Antique... more like an original take on my favourite fabric I guess.
I used up some beautiful left over natural linen that I bought from Thea and originally used for another project.
I love this linen!
Stencils, masking tape and fabric paint and there you have it!
Handmade and hand painted lavender pillows.
.
I love intentionally fraying the edges natural linen. There is just something about it!
Oh yes, another important part...
Stuff them full of freshly dried lavender buds.
The scent is divine.
Give them a squeeze and the scent
permeates even more so...
DIVINE.
Easy peasy and a very quick project for 'time poor for craft' people like me.
Have a fabulous day on this very sunny and very warm Brisbane morning.

Ooh! They look SO lovely!
These are beautiful. I must try making some, and I love the smell of lavender.

Hi Pam, A beautiful gift idea. You have brought back memories to me when I used to fray linen. Mimi xx
They're beautiful Pam. So clever! xx
Lovely. What a smart idea!
I've heard that the fragrance of lavender helps to de-stress so you must be one of the calmest people around, especially while making those sweet pillows on a balmy Brissy morning!
Lovely, just Lovely xx j
What a clever idea. Sometimes I can't bring myself to cut up precious fabric either.
I have a part finished Victorian patchwork quilt that I intended to make into cushions, but still can't do it!
Greetings from a cold and wet, Northumberland....
