Goodbye Scarf, Hello Bolster!
As you may (or may not) know, I love LOVE global-flavored patterns. So when I found a faux-silk scarf from H&M with a pink, lime green and black ikat-inspired pattern for $12....well...well...I'm just mad I didn't clear the place out. Then I could be showing you a sexy window treatment to go along with this fab bolster pillow.
My inspiration is the above image from Domino Magazine.
But I also like this one from Madeline Weinrib.

I started with a long, skinny bolster from Pillowflex. And got some strange looks on the subway ride home.
I measured twice.
Ok, maybe thrice.
Finished one edge by hand thanks to my sewing bible.
And viola!
