Another great find I got at an antique store while in Michigan a couple weeks ago was an awesome vintage burlap bag. I had been looking for one for a while, but to me everyone I found had been overpriced.. I mean it’s an old bag, right? I found this little gem at an antique store for about 5 dollars. I justified it because of its enormous size. Here is a pillow I made out of part of the Burlap Bag….
{Burlap Bag}
This is the burlap bag I bought for 5 dollars at an antique store.
Anyone from Minnesota? I wish it said Michigan.. But I love the writing, that’s my favorite part of burlap pillows.
Honestly, to make this pillow, I took the easy way out. I used a pillow I already had as the insert, & used “no sew” strips & an iron as the seal. I know, I know, I just got a brand new sewing machine, but I am a little intimidated by it!!
Backside of the pillow.. I absolutely love the look of burlap.
Hope you enjoyed seeing my burlap pillow. Another addition to my eclectic mix of pillows. Do you have any projects that you are working on right now?? Go link them up on Liz Marie Blog Facebook!! I would love to see all of your DIY projects. Hope you all are having a good week.. Two more days until the weekend!!!
xoxo

so fun! I looooove burlap
Thanks so much for linking to "20 Below Thursday"!
Found you through the Frugal Friday blog hop. I love the look of burlap as well and love this pillow (although I want one that says Virginia
) You could always get burlap and stamps and make one with whatever you want on it.
Thanks for the great ideas. I need to get sewing. Have a great weekend!
So cool and beautiful!
P.S.

Found you on the All Week Blog Hop. Really glad I stopped by…I've been design inspired!

I love it! It looks great. I honestly think ironing all of that fusible seaming is harder than sewing a few lines – don't worry, once you get past getting her threaded, you're way more than halfway there!
Wow! I've never seen anything like this! (Maybe I live in a cave!!??) I'm your newest follower from Boost my Blog Friday I'd love for you to follow back at http://www.homeschoolingbytheyard.blogspot.com and/or http://www.kylakreates.com
I just found your blog and am your newest follower! This is my kind of pillow — no sew.
Thanks for the inspiration and the truly lovely blog you have created for all of us to enjoy.
That pillow is so cute! I love it!
Liz this is adorable! You are so talented! I'd love to have you share this at my VIP party today @ http://designergarden.blogspot.com/2011/03/vip-party-7.html
Liz I bought the same burlap feed bag at West Mich antique mall a couple of weeks ago. I cannot believe the vendor had them marked down!! I plan on making a pillow also. Yours is awesome!! Check out my blog at detailsbykari.blogspot.com
I love the burlap. The pillow is really awesome. Thanks so much for linking up to my Swing into Spring party.
Make no excuses for simplifying a project. At least you did the project. That burlap sack would have drifted from closet to closet in my house for 3 years before I did anything with it.

Love your burlap pillow. Thanks for sharing
i like your new header!
too cute…makes me want to finds some burlap bags!
Stopping by from the weekend blog hop. Great pillow, and I love the shutter you did. I think you should leave the wreaths the way the are- floating and simple, with an air of mystery. It brings out the antique feeling of the shutter.

Oh to be so lucky to find something so wonderful at a thrift store!
I love the look of your burlap pillow. I keep seeing them in lots of home decor blogs & magazines, but I'm curious. Do they have an odor like the new burlap in the fabric stores? Also wondering about the feel? I know they are strickly decorative, but if someone leaned against them on a sofa or a chair, would it be rough & prickly? Inquiring minds need to know! LOL!!! I'm a new follower & hope you might visit my blog sometime & follow back.
