However, it really didn't work on my dark sofa.
I have been planning on slipcovering the sofa for some time now but just haven't gotten around to it. My temporary fix was to lighten the overall look with brighter pillows. I used Graphics Fairy clipart on painters cloth pillows that I whipped up. Here is the clipart I chose. I love the soft colors and I thought the eggs complimented my new bird crewel pillow nicely.
I removed the current pillow forms and reused them. NOW, I can't stress this enough.....make sure when using artwork with words that you print the downloaded artwork in the reverse. I wasted two pieces of transfer paper printing the artwork backwards.....FRUSTRATING!
It then dawned on me that I could extend the use of these summer themed pillows by printing a fall themed print on the reverse. I can't wait to show you the completed Thanksgiving themed pillows closer to the holidays.
In the meantime, take a look at my sofa transformation....
Voila!!! Let me know what you think....
You did a good job...your pillows are wonderful and a great find at Tj's!!
