Recycled Patchwork Pillow with Rainbow Ruffles


Front view


Back View:



Made with 100% recycled materials, including old jeans, old t-shirts, and previous stuffing from a tired pillow.

I love color, so I made the ruffles from tshirts, gathering them in the center.


 All the stitching is in color too- red,orange,yellow,green, and blue.




The process:














See the colored threads?




























Mia is holding her beloved tea cup here, she walks around all day saying "Wanna cup-a-tea?"







I've had the tiny cherries forever...finally they are put to use.

 I think they are super cute!



I'm entering this in the "Stitched in Color" pillow contest. Join in the fun!
