New liner for a feather pillow and new pillow cover.
I finished this a while ago but hadn’t got around to posting.
I wanted to make a new inner cover for a feather pillow. The day I hoped to transfer the feathers outside, it rained. So I closed the bathroom door and hoped to confine any wayward feathers. I didn’t expect the feathers would just stick to me.
A new pillow cover using a carpet bag from a trip to Ecuador in the mid-1990s, that hadn’t been used since. I thought it would be easy to turn it into a pillow, remove the ends pieces and the strap, then sew up the sides, keeping the zipper. But noooo, I had to reweave the short little warp threads around the wonky zipper which took hours and wouldn’t stay put. Finally, I just machine stitched it to the lining in the problem areas to secure. Originally it had box corners, but looked too bulky. The rounded corners are better, but the fabric is so thick and I daren’t trim it..
I have a dragonfly fabric in my stash for a ‘spring-summer’ pillow cover, if I ever get around to it &/or it starts to feel like spring!
At least you got a cool pillow for all your work! Looks great.
