Give a girl a few dollars, then throw in a great sale and watch her go a little crazy. Yep, that was me. I started out looking for fabric to recover my ottoman, didn’t find anything I liked, but of course while I was out I had to run into Hobby Lobby and Home Goods. I hit the jackpot.
Hobby Lobby is now carrying a line of pillow covers that are fabulous and at prices you won’t even believe. I found several that will totally see me through all kinds of changes for spring and summer.
I love these pillows with the jute braid trim and they have some really pretty ones. This cocoa color is gorgeous and so pretty with my new check drapes in the family room. The pretty floral print is a pretty cocoa color background too. Now price wise, these are on sale for 50% off. The jute border was originally $9.99 and the floral was $5.99. Ladies, that turns out to be $5 and $3 for pillow covers and they even have a zipper. I can hardly buy a zipper for that price much less the fabric.
With tons to choose from, I just had to pick up several more. I got a white with the jute trim and then a really pretty beige linen with an embroidery design in cocoa. The white was again $5 and the embroidery was originally $6.99 – so $3.50
They had another embroidery one that matched the first one I got, only this one is a rectangular one, love the circle embroidery and a great size. It was originally $6.99 – so $3.50. I bought a second floral one since I like to use pairs on a sofa most of the time.
Home Goods has tons of pillows out now too. I loved this bright cheerful print and thought it would be fun for this spring and summer. The two were $24.99. That’s a great buy.
All of the pillows from Hobby Lobby are 18 x 18 except for the rectangular one, it is 12 x 20. I have tons of inserts, so it is fabulous to be able to just zipper one cover off and add a new one and so much easier to store just the covers and not a tone of pillow forms. If you are looking for fabulous feather pillow forms, be sure to check out goodwill, I find them there all the time for $3 to $4. Ikea also has some really reasonably priced ones. I love the feather ones, they just make a pillow look so much nicer and they are much more comfortable. I will replace the ones from Home Goods with feather inserts. All you have to do is open the sewn side, and add a zipper, or you can even add velcro or simply stitch it back up after you add the insert. When I opened up a seam, this is how much poly filler I took out. Wow, that’s a ton, no wonder the pillow was so stiff.
Sewing a zipper into the seam was so simple.
Much easier to store this when not in use – – –
rather than this. I bought zippers today to also change out several more pillows I have.
I think I did really well for about $50. Oh, yeah, I did buy 3 more pillow covers from HL that I will show you later, I already have them on the sofa in the family room. A mix of herringbone, checks and plaid. They look fabulous.
Are you thinking spring and summer?
