Lumbar Pillow From a Table Runner
I bought this table runner a few months ago and every time I lay it out I change it out within a few minutes. Therefore, I decided to turn it into a pillow for my bed and now I love it!!
There are so many pretty table runners out there. Especially at Marshall’s and TJ Maxx. What a great way to add a unique element to your bedding.
I started out with this $10.00 primitive looking runner.
For the backside of the pillow I used some drop cloth fabric.
First turn the runner over and place the “good side” down on your drop cloth fabric (or whatever you choose for the back side).
I then cut around the back side fabric.
Now it’s time to pin all the way around except for about 5 inches at one end. This is so you can turn the pillow case right side out.
Sew all the way around except for that 5 inch opening.
Turn it right side out.
Next stuff the pillow to your desired “puffiness”.
Now sew the opening closed.
So there we go, a unique lumbar pillow that’s not only pretty but comfy!!

GREAT IDEA -- here's a time saving NO SEW SCOOOP--- you can use a FABRIC glue gun to "fuse"/glue the seams-- NO SEWING -- fast, easy, strong... the glue sticks are for low OR high temp-- high temp makes a stronger bond for heavier materials (fabrics). The fabric hot glue gun has a very fine tip smaller than regular glue guns-- I have been using this "new technique" with numerous recent projects even fine designer draperies ---- It has saved me literally HOURS of time pinning, sewing, switching threads, etc., etc., etc!!!! ENJOY!
