I'm always on the search for wool garments at the thrift stores to use for various projects.
Here's my latest Goodwill find.
That's right -- $1.87 for this Pendleton men's jacket.
After deconstructing the garment and a good wash and dry, I had enough Pendleton wool to make these two pillows.
I know all of you are decorating your homes for Spring, but this winter-loving soul is still playing with wool pillows.
I can't get enough of their warm, cozy feel.
Bring on the cold and snow -- I'm not through with winter, yet.
I know --- Bah Humbug!!
(Yea! It's snowing as I type.)

Oh- I love the old Pendleton plaids. I have a coat that belonged to the grandfather that I should do something with it. Those pillows turned out great...but you can KEEP the winter thoughts to yourself!;>) xo Diana
I can't believe the fabulous shams you made!!! I wouldn't have ever visualized those fabulous pillows from that coat!! Amazing transformation.
I love it!

What did I wake up to this morning? The sound of the snow plow out on the road--the blade pushing the 4-6 inches of snow we were blessed with during the night! Also, trying to get through to clear the ice. That's what I don't like...ice on the road.
Perfect pillows for you!♥♫
love these pillows.....especially the piping...that really makes them...I have so much wool plaid that I really need to do the same thing with....only I'm not smart enough to do the piping..I can do it but it never comes very good. I never know what to do at the ends....
I did find fabulous brown and green toile dishes at the Goodwill the other day...Ofcourse I hesitated to buy them....they were $12.97 for 4....waaaaaaay too much for a GW purchase...
I just love how we recycle everything these days, I think that is why we have so much fun reading blogs to see what the next person has came up with to repaint or redo
I like anything pendleton
What amazing vision U have! Love them.
Love the pillows and love that they are recycled......great idea!!!
a weather woman after my own heart and as soon as I saw the pic in the linky I knew they were yours
Beautiful! :)
I just love that you made those pillows from Pendleton...and found at GW...brillant!
Glad to see how you rescued the Pendleton jacket - the pillows look great!
The pillows look so cozy. Brilliant transformation.
The pillows look wonderful. The piping is a fabulous detail.
The pillows are amazing and you're so talented to make them from the jacket. When I was little, my mom would remake old clothing. I remember she made me a little navy jacket from my uncle's wool Navy uniform. It had a plaid cotton flannel lining with an inside pocket, and I loved it. Love your Pendleton pillows. Pendleton make really nice fabric and garments. Visiting from Ivy and Elephants.
