DIY Easy Bolster Cover

I made my way to a Goodwill Outlet yesterday that was way out in the sticks but people have told me its the best one in the area so I finally got out there to check it out. They were right it was pretty good.

I found this amazing checked upholstery material. I also found a bolster pillow form. So you put the two together and what do you get?

Well I got this:

I found a cute shirt that matched the upholstry material and decided it would work great for ties.

I measured the material, making sure I didn’t cut too much off, in case it didn’t fit properly. I like to leave room for mistakes.

I sewed the ironed and sewed the ends. Then I sewed the material into a tube to fit around the bustle form.

I pulled the material onto the bustle and it fit perfectly.

I cut strips off the shirt, I didn’t finish the edges, I didn’t want this to be a long project and the frayed edges give it a relaxed look.

And this is how it turned out. I love the colors, perfect for spring!And it seems spring is coming sooner than it normally does.
