My project today is a pair of DIY All Weather Pillows. It was super easy and adds so much color to my outside sitting area.
My husband made me a beautiful pergola swing which I LOVE!!! You can see it here I wanted some fun pillows for it. I wanted some that if they got wet, it wouldn’t take forever to dry. I thought I’d try a vinyl table cloth after I saw a really fun one at Walmart.
To begin, gather your supplies:
Note: I first did this project with a glue gun, but it doesn’t work well with the vinyl. So take out the glue gun and add a sewing machine.
I spread the tablecloth out and laid my pillow out to measure where to cut. I then cut what I needed. The next step is to sew up the sides and slide the pillow form in. I am including a good tutorial on how to make it an envelope pillow. Here is a video on how to make it.
These both took less than 30 min. to make and I have some fun pillows for my new swing.
You can see directions to make the outdoor bunting here.

Love the pillows! Great idea to use a vinyl tablecloth! And they look wonderful on the swing! Thanks for linking up to the All Star Block Party!Holly
Thanks Holly! My one concern is that they would be too hot. I actually lay on my swing. 🙂 We just had some 90 weather and they were actually usable. Thanks for a great party!
