SYTYC Week TWO - The Modern Leaf

Another fun week at So You Think You're Crafty. Congrats to Vanessa for her beautiful no-sew fabric wreath! Check out the tutorial here.

And some of you guessed, the leaf pillows were mine!
The perfect Fall accent for any room, these pillows are made of soft tan linen, chocolate piping, and your own color-changing leaf.
With a whole spectrum of thrifted T-shirt colors to choose from, I couldn't resist making these.
Some of you have asked about a tutorial. You can actually purchase the PDF Pattern HERE. If you've loved our tutorials, you will feel right at home with our patterns. Full of colorful photos and step-by-step instructions, we also show you how to make piping (which can be used on a variety of projects).
The theme for Week 3 is GREEN. Many ways to interpret this one. So head over and check out the cool things everyone made. Many inspiring ideas!

I tought the pillows must be yours.They are so modern but still sophisticated!I am suprised that not you are the winner.I love them!

When I first saw them I thought the leaves were made with felt. I like felt, but that really didn't appeal to me much, on a pillow (even though they still looked beautiful). But I like them SOO much more now that I know they were from t-shirts! Wow! Super creative. They are really gorgeous! I'd love to make some like that someday!

Erica said...

I can always tell what craft is yours... um, because it is always the cutest.

Love the pillow designs, and those color combos are great! And the concept lends so well to almost any theme imaginable, definitely going on my holiday to-do list :-)

Thanks guys for the sweet comments!
"Eric and Danielle"....the bed is from Macy's, about 5 years ago. We have loved it. Maybe you can find something similar at Ikea?

I LOVE those pillows. What a great idea to get thrift store t-shirts for all the colors! I am new to your blog, but when I saw those pillows, I fell in love with them, voted for them, and secretly hoped they were yours! ;-)

I guessed wrong! I think I know this week though!

Michelle said...

You are probably one of the most creative people I have come across in blogs. I love your style and design. Your projects look so professional and unique. MADE could seriously be a popular brand sold in stores. How do you come up with these ideas? Your projects just clearly stand out from the rest!

missbmckay said...

This is such a cute design. You're such a talent, and I'm so excited to see more of what you have to offer.

Meagan said...

Hi! I just love your blog! You are so creative! I love everything you make! I LOVED those leaf pillows and voted for them. I had no idea it was your craft! (I voted for you last week too but I figured that was you! ;) ) I really want to try this, but it looks kinda time-consuming...

Ash said...

I voted for these because they spoke to me the most! I love the colors on them :) But I didn't think they were yours and I felt bad not voting for you! LOL so now I know that I, in fact, DID vote for you so I feel so much better!

Yuliya Y. said...
