How to turn a Cloth Napkin into a Throw Pillow

I love finding sweet little vintage things and turning them into something I get to see everyday.  I spied this little cloth napkin and while I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it when I got it, I couldn't pass it up.  It was only a dollar so I wasn't breaking the bank either.

I didn't want to lose any of the details along the edges, so I just folded it in half right sides up and stitched along the sides.  When it came to the flower details on the front I carefully and slowly stitched around them.  I left a little hole for stuffing and once stuffed I hand sewed the rest.  Total time was maybe 15 minutes.  It always takes longer to stuff than it does to sew!


I love how it turned out.

See the stitches above the leafs?  I couldn't sew through them.
