Comments on: DIY Leather Pillow Tutorial & How To Sew A Zippered Pillow Cover (The EASY Way!) https://vintagerevivals.com/diy-leather-pillow-tutorial-how-to-sew/ Fearless DIY Wed, 19 Jun 2019 16:43:59 +0000 hourly 1 By: Amy https://vintagerevivals.com/diy-leather-pillow-tutorial-how-to-sew/#comment-926249 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 07:21:23 +0000 https://204.197.248.17/~vintager/?p=12657#comment-926249 I’ve heard it isn’t good to backstitch when sewing leather. (Those holes are permanent — they don’t “self heal” like woven fabric — and too many stitches can effectively “cut” the leather.) The pillow looks great — myself, I would’ve chosen a fabric closely resembling the leather, so it didn’t draw the eye, but hey — I’m a big fan of pink, so it’s all good. 😉 Also, I routinely find leather skirts for a few bucks at my nearby thrift store, so I’m thinking I’ll do that before I’d buy/skin a couch. (Fewer left-over parts to worry about disposing.) If you can save a couch from the landfill, though — do it! Thanks for the tutorial — enjoyed it! 🙂

Do you know how many couches end up at the dump anyway? Most people who thrift couches – myself included, more than once – have another couch at home that goes straight to the land fill.

I love this project. In my mind I’m singing some made-up song now – “I did it all for the leather, for the leather, for the leather…” It’s late, I don’t even know.

Seriously impressed with this. Perfect contrast.

Hey Erin!
I usually search Homegoods first for clearance pillows with down inserts! That is what I did with these guys!
