How to Make Pillows out of Flour Sack Towels
Yesterday I showed you how I dyed some flour sack towels. When I purchased them, I also purchased 5 {long and narrow} pillow forms. I put them together…and voila!:
Flour Sack Pillows! One has a Christmas greeting,
one has a pleated ruffle feature,
two have old fashioned “ticking stripes” {is that what they’re called??},
and one is just a big ol’ “No. 7”…just because I love having big ol’ numbers on pillows!
Each pillow used two towels. After I sewed them together, I sewed them using the same method I used when sewing the square pillows behind them. You can find the tutorial here.

These are great! Your last picture looks like it could be from Ballard Designs!
So, so beautiful! I smiled when I saw the Christmas one…does this mean I can start listening to Christmas music? 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing your talent and creativity with us at Inspiration Friday this week!

Love, love your pilllows! They are precious!
I am a new friend and follower and am happy to meet you! Hope you will be too! I would be delighted for you to link up to Potpourri Friday!
Just came over to visit you from The Picket Fence. I adore your pillows! They look great all massed together too. I'm such a pillow addict. I wish I could make them like you, but I don't sew. I should really learn. Great inspiration!
Wow, these pillows are beautiful! Can't wait to see your next post on applying the designs.
Take care,
Christina
