Make do and mend. Turn a vintage or recycled head/neck scarf into a cushion cover.
I don’t know about you but I tend to have a lot of silk scarves. I love to collect vintage scarves as I scout around for other fabrics, I also like to pic up brand new ones in colours I adore. They are a nice perk to an outfit and an easy way to lift a dress you have had for a while and just brighten up your wardrobe in general. Well now they can brighten your interiors too.
If you are looking around for a project to do and want to keep the budget down. Why not upcycle one of your scarves into a cushion cover? Create an eclectic, non matching look on your sofa, bed or just place an individual one on your fav comfy chair. A silk scarf is nice for a bit of luxury and extra gloss. Below are a couple for sale at Lucy Loves Fabric made from vintage silk scarves.
You’ll be so pleased when you see your scarf move from your wardrobe to your interior space. It’s refreshing and a great, cheap project.
Enjoy!
