I finished sewing my version of the Shabby Chic
Pillow Shams yesterday.
Now I know these to be authentically shabby because I (Kimberly) personally ripped every ruffle with my own two hands and then hand gathered each one!
I'm not sure if I told you what fabric I used for my Shabby Chic Shams?
It was cheap, white gauzy tea-towels!
Now on to the bedroom.
I spent a good deal of the day digging around in the basement in my totes looking for this particular lavender Scottish Shaw.
I love the colours in it and want to incorporate the deep lavender colour into our bedroom.
I also have a very pretty matching wool blanket which I will show you later.

Great job! These are beautiful and oh my, I do believe that if you were in the market to do so, you could sell lots of these! Be proud of yourself, because they look great!!
ReplyDeleteCold here today as well....but no snow.
Shug
And they turned out perfect! Do you know how to adjust he tension on your machine and it does all the gathering for you? That is how I do mine and it goes so quickly.
ReplyDeleteOh how dainty and lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou Queen Bee of sewing.
Your work is so professional.
Kimberly, Your shams are beautiful, I love them. You may be wearing that toasty shaw today.Brr. I think back on the days when I would tell my daughters, if they complained of being chilly...get a sweater on. Now I am wearing the sweaters. :):) Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteKimberly,
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of your Scottish Shaw. You mentioned you have a blanket with the same colors. I bet the bed looks amazing dressed with these colors.
Stay warm and have a blessed day.
Love, love, love those shams!
ReplyDeleteLove them even more that you told us you used Tea Towels!
Creativity just oozes out of you!
I love your new digs ...that purple color is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWe have snow also.....but it just came a few days ago so no complaints! Heidi
You are so creative! These are beautiful! Love the purple, too.
ReplyDeleteThey turned out lovely. You did a nice job. I love the purple color you are going to use. Thank you for finding out what that tree was called.
ReplyDeleteIt must be nice to have winter.
I keep hoping for something to change.
I can't wait to see what you come up with for your room/
Congratulations on finishing your lovely shams. Any time you are sewing ruffles it adds time to the project.
ReplyDeleteStay warm today.
Very nice work...wow, those shams look like they came from an upscale shop!! xo

Hi Kimberly,
ReplyDeleteI love the shabby sham, I also love that you were able to do it in a thrifty manner. Your Scottish shawl is beautiful, I look forward to seeing your bedroom when you're done with it.
The shams are beautiful, and I know all that hand gathering was a lot of work! Turns out it was worth it :>) I can't wait to see the finished room.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your shabby chic ruffled pillows. They turned out great. I was looking at the ones in Target today and I can bet that yours are even more well made at a fraction of the cost. I bet you could sell those like crazy, Kimberly.
ReplyDeleteYour shawl is gorgeous- xo Diana
Oh, I adore that Scottish Shaw! The colors are glorious! If you find it missing in the morning, you can be sure that Marty snuck in and swiped it, LOL.
ReplyDeleteThe pillows are just adorable! Good for you! Cannot believe all your snow. We have had to turn our air-conditioner back on the last couple of days -- ugh!
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are high fashion, girl! You did a great job but then you do on everything. I've been so "distracted" lately running from one project to another. This is such a busy time of year for me...and expensive! Glad to see someone is "calm and carrying on"! The throw is gorgeous and I can't wait to see the blanket and your plans for your bedroom!
ReplyDeleteLove love the pillow covers Kimberly!! They are very sweet. I also love the purple throw. It's nice and bright for the winter and will come in handy I'm sure. It's going up to 9 and 10 the next 4 days here. Almost a heatwave. lol Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh how pretty! I love your shabby pillow covers - a perfect touch for any bedroom :) Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteKimberly-
ReplyDeleteyay! you finished your pillows. They look every bit as good as I thought they would.
I like the idea of lavender being incorporated. I'm sure it is going to be gorgeous. We're not as cold as you, and we don't have snow... but still chilly. I am loving it.
Stay warm ~Pat
They are beautiful! And, all by hand? Wow!
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE the shams, and the lavender throw colors are beautiful! Looking forward to seeing that finished room. We are FINALLY going to have a temp drop today...we have been in the 90's the last few days, sigh. NOT very holiday feeling. But not suppose to get over 65 today which is cool to me, lol. Enjoy your week-end!
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful! Me thinketh they should be on Etsy :)
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! And the lavender is just the perfect accent!
ReplyDeleteMiguel is in Skagway this weekend - he is doing research for his school project. Maybe he'll run into Elijah (although they have never met)! He is staying at the Catholic Church.
You are a talented sewer, Kimberly! I love tre colors of that shawl.
ReplyDeleteyour pillow shams turned out wonderful
ReplyDeleteI haven't got a clue on how I missed this post, but I sure did. Just lovely!!! Love the Scottish Shaw! Blessings
