Bohemian Chic seems to be trending right now as a decorating style.
My granddaughter tends toward that vibe, so I decided to make some Boho Chic pillows to give her on her 19th birthday.
I used the sew and flip method in sections with fleece as a foundation.
Then I added ribbon and applique embellishment with lots of machine embroidery.
Do you suppose the popularity of this look with the young ones is because most of the posts on Pinterest include an unruly, unmade bed?
It sure reminds me of the flower child/hippie era in the middle 1960s. I'm not sure I'm ready to revisit that in my own home decor.
P.S.: The pillows were a big hit --

Ooh! Love the pillows
Very fun pillows. Great way to use up that antique orange thread, LOL.
Hi Sally. The pillows are divine, I love everything about them. When you say sew & flip...is that just like foundation piecing or quilt as you go? Your grand daughter is gorgeous. Happy Birthday girlie! =)
Love the pillows but, nope won't change my decor. Although I did have a hot pink bedroom in the late 60's. I like how those pillows turned out. Nice job.
Beautiful!!!
Those pillows DO look HIP-pie cool! Love 'em.
Love the pillows! Fantastic job!
I can relate - DD has a funky sense of style that is pretty foreign to her conservative Mom with the antique-y palette! Great job on the pillows :-)
Wonderful granddaughter and great gypsy pillows!
