For the love of cashmere!


I finished turning my $1.50 cashmere thrift sweater into a pillow. I really liked how this one turned out. This is a gift for a bridal shower (among other things). What's great is that everything is washable.

I used this tutorial for the flowers on the front. I really enjoyed making these. I need to make a few more. I need a cashmere flower pin for my winter pea coat.

  3. Oh, this pillow is so lovely! I'd be so delighted if I was the recipient of such a gift! What a great idea....I found a two dollar cashmere sweater while thrifting a few months ago...I never wear it. Time to repurpose!

  4. Oh wow... this is amazingly beautiful! I love the unique pillow design!

    I'm also a cashmere freak! I love it! I have a huge collection (50+) of old 100% cashmere sweaters that I'm saving for "someday" when I decide something really neat to do with them.

    This is great inspiration! I'm so happy to have run across your blog today!
