The other day, Yvonne from Stone Gable shared a pillow she made out of a placemat she found at Pottery Barn outlet. I was so inspired that, not only did I pin it, but the same afternoon I read the post I got hubby to go with me for a trip to our outlets. After walking the whole store and not seeing the placemat I was starting to get disappointed, until at the last minute ~ there it was!
I bought two to make pillows for the chairs we have at our table outside our front door. A little different from Yvonne’s, I opened stitches at the bottom of the placemat and used the whole placemat as a pillow cover.
I bought a pillow insert as close in size to the size of the placemat {12 x 22}, inserted it, added a little bit of fiberfil to fill the bottom a bit more, and sewed the opening back up.
I added them to the chairs outside and they now complete my outdoor Fall décor!
Thanks for the inspiration, Yvonne! They even look good inside and go well with the furniture in our sunroom.

Hey, Kathy! How are you doing?! I love your pillow covers. Such a great idea! The pumpkin pattern is beyond cute. I really like what you did with your fall front porch. The white lantern is super cute. I of course, love the little bunny too. Have a great weekend! ~ Jamie
The look great Kathy! We don't have a PB outlet near here...or even a regular PB :-(
Hi Kathy, You did an awesome job on the pillow! I'm so glad you used this idea and made it your own!
It looks beautiful in your home! xo
LOVE! The Pillow, The Pumpkin and the P flag!
How fun, I love the pattern, and they look fabulous on your chairs. Hugs, Marty
Your porch looks wonderful Kathy! I am just now starting on mine. Still in the 90s here.
Like the placement of the pots (second last picture)
Gorgeous Kathy, Your porch with the pillow is so inviting. I have done this too with placemats and it is fun and you can find some great patterns for little money.
Love your P flag and the lantern.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs!
I love this idea because it's so easy!! Your pillows look so pretty, Kathy.

Cute idea!! Looks great in your entryway!
A perfect addition to your Fall decor! I love the design on the placemat! I sure wish we had an outlet closer to us! We don't even have a HomeGoods! Love your pillows!
I was a huge fan of many fall things of PB this year and that pattern was one. I wouldn't think about buying fall items this year with building our home. Love this pillow, so pretty!

Love the pillow..great fall colors..
Love the pillow and that Yvonne is so creative!...Your porch looks so pretty Kathy!
What a cute pumpkin pillow. It's an old trick to use a place mat or a napkin, but it can sure look good!
Happy Weekend.
Looks awesome, Kathy! I love that you did that ... looks perfect on your Fall entry!
your porch looks ready for fall! love the cute pillow idea, kathy!
Love how you transformed the place mat to a pillow! Your front porch is really pretty - everything is perfectly placed. :)
