| Recovered pillows |
A friend brought me several pillows that she wanted recovered. The corduroy fabric she brought was fairly thick so I didn't think I was going to have to add a lining, then I opened one up!
 |
| Feathers!! |
Feathers everywhere! I did my best vacuuming them off but they were still poking out everywhere. That is when I decided that I would add lining to the fabric. I didn't want those feathers poking anyone.
 |
| Adding lining |
I serged a heavy-weight lining to the back of all the fabric pieces. When I cut the pieces for the front and back, I tapered the corners to get rid of the dog-ears. My client didn't want zippers, so that meant I had to hand sew close all the pillows.
 |
| Misshapen pillows |
The pillows before were somewhat misshapen. When I opened up the two smaller pillows, I found that the covers were put on over old covers.
 |
| Cover inside the cover |
When I removed that fabric I found a big lump of batting/stuffing. I pulled it apart to fluff it up and then added some poly-cluster pillow filling inside to fill it out more.
 |
| Wad from inside |
Only one pillow had covered cord and she requested that stay the same. I had to do the pillows one at a time because I needed to keep the mess at a minimum. I vacuumed at least twice with each pillow that I did. My new policy will be no feather pillows except for new ones. I had feathers everywhere and also felt like I was starting to have an allergic reaction to it all.
