I recently slip covered a couch for a client. I went to her house and made the main cover there. I stitched the cushion covers in my home a few days later and mailed them to her. I also brought a small ottoman and 2 throw pillows home with me from her house. I now have them all slip covered and will hopefully be delivering them to her and photographing the set-up this weekend. I also slip covered this chair for her a couple of months ago. I used the same ribbon that I used on the chair to dress up her throw pillows for her ‘new’ couch.
We talked about doing the 3 stripes of ribbon on each pillow like I did on the slip covered chair. Then I mentioned a Union Jack design and she liked that idea. I am so glad because I am loving how these pillows turned out. The red and cream ribbon is French Style Organic Cotton ribbon from the etsy shop The Tin Tiara . The jute ribbon trim is from the same shop. She also carries other colors of the French Style Organic Cotton ribbon. It is one of my very favorite ribbons!
I’m having a hard time convincing myself I’m really going to take them to her!!
I think they look pretty fabulous in this basket in MY living room 🙂
Still using my ribbon tags on my handmade items. It is on my to-do list to get something different though!
Do you like the Union Jack design? Do you own anything with this design or have you created anything with the Union Jack design? I would love to hear about it!

Those pillows DO look awesome in your basket! They should probably just stay!
I agree, They look amazing in your basket… 🙂

As usual, your skills leave me with my mouth agape. I am in total awe of your skills. I love anything with the Union Jack on it. These pillows are perfect. You need to make a set for yourself and for your Etsy shop. These are really divine.
I love this union jack design over the white background and the jute ribbon trim just makes it so much special! Thank you for sharing at Freedom Fridays. Have you entered my giveaway yet?
Have a great week!
Beautiful pillows! Really nicely done! Love the colors.
I love the Union Jack design, although I don’t own anything with it (yet!)
You are sooo talented!! They look amazing 🙂

Wow, house calls for slipcovers, what a wonderful service! Your pillows are beautiful, you do such great work, Jill and always with an intersting custom touch. The jute with the other trim is the perfect detail.
Cute! Cute! Cute!! I’m completely obsessed with the Union Jack so these are right up my alley – thanks for sharing this inspiration! I’m now eyeing some pillows I might need to makeover 🙂
Holy cow I LOVE these!! They’re gorgeous! Wanna teach me how to sew? 🙂 I also visited your Etsy shop – fabulous items! Please come back on Friday and link up your Etsy shop. I’m having an Etsy Link Party and you’re stuff is too fabulous not to share with everyone! Thanks for linking up to Transformation Tuesday at The Ironstone Nest. It’s great to have you at the party.

Beautiful work!! I’m still intimidated to re-upholster our chair and ottoman. I am recruiting my husband and buying a good book, because I want to get it done. Great job!! Stopping by from Polkadots on Parade linky party.
Beautiful pillows! I have made some union jack pillows also, I just love how different they all can look….the sky’s the limit! Thank you for turning me on to the Tin Tiara….her shop could be addicting.
Great pillows! I’m so glad you linked this idea up at One Creative Weekend! I love it!
What a lovely job! I really like that color combo!
I’m like you I’d have to really talk myself into carrying them back! lol They turned out lovely. Thanks for joining me at Totally Transformed Tuesday. 🙂 Peggy
I’m a bit of an anglophile so I love this, looks so soft and lovely!

Thanks Karianne! I just shipped two of those out today – to the lovely Laura at The Ironstone Nest who offered to do a giveaway to promote my etsy shop! And I thought too, the timing was great – and i didn’t even think of that when i made the first ones!
Really pretty! Love your take on the Union Jack!
Thanks! I was happy with the way this turned out!
SUch a great Union Jack!! And I LOVE your ribbon tags. 🙂 That pillow is perfetion. Thank you so much for linking up to our party!! 🙂
Karah
Thank you Karah! I had a hard time letting these pillows go but they look fantastic in my clients home!
I love your colorful take on the Union Jack! I have a tone-on-tone version in my Etsy … and just got my very own tags to sew into my pillows! The perfect finishing touch!
Thank you so much for sharing at our Crazy for Color link party!

Yay for getting tags! Mine are actually ribbon by the yard and I cut them apart and use fray block on each end. i have lvoed them but am hoping to get some that don’t need the fray blocking – just to cut out a step:) also would like to get some done in the same font I’ve used on my blog and biz cards. I will check out your pillow – I have plans for a tone on tone one too! it may just be mine though because that’s what I tend to decorate with 🙂
I love Union Jack but haven’t done anything with it yet! Oh, and I can’t sew a stitch either (shame)!
Your pillow (and cute little tag) is fabulous – so glad you joined our Color party!
