I am in love with the Chiang Mai Dragon print from Schumacher. I'll take it in any colour. The colours and patterns are so rich and luxurious.
I don't care it is everywhere.
I *heart* it.

When I went shopping with two blog buddies to a fabric wholesaler, I was thrilled when Karla, managed to snag me not only one but TWO samples! If you recall, there were grommets in the fabric. I guess they thought that would deter anyone from making anything with it. They didn't know who they were dealing with when they gave it to me.
A grommet? I can deal with that.
Scissors were involved...
After a little snipping, patchwork and sumptuous trim, one pillow is finished.
I even sewed an invisible zipper
{Please, hold the applause}
This fabulous pillow cost this frugal gal very little.
While Chiang Mai Dragon can run about $250/yard {you heard me right}, this piece cost me
NOTHING.
NOTHING.
I bought a yard of linen to match for $15/yd {only used half a yard = $7.50}}
Invisible zipper: $1.50
Navy velvet ribbon: $4.00
Ikea pillow insert: $6.00
Total cost: $19.00
Hubby will like that :)
Here is a peek at another pillow I slaved worked on:
