Moda Bake Shop Contest

I thought I took a picture of the trash can before it was covered. It was a dull gray can...uuuuuggggglllllyyyy!!!

So from Drab to Fab!!

The competition is called SLICED and you can find the rules at Moda Bake Shop. For this round, you have to use a Moda Precut, batting and a buckle. It has to be an office or studio Accessory.
I made a pillow for the back or bum. The buckle is in the back, it attaches the pillow to the back of the chair or bottom. I can not tell you how many times my butt pillow has fallen when I have gotten up. Really irritating, now it won't.

My bum will not know what to do sitting in such comfort.

The deadline is February 29th, let your creative juices flow and go on over and enter!!

Don't forget about my pattern giveaway below....

  5. Love the pillow. I don't need a pillow as I have a comfy chair but Daughter complains that her chair in my sewing room is too hard and that she needs a pillow. Buckle would be ideal as she is a wriggler - not for her the pillow :-)

  8. You will win. That is the most beautiful trashcan I have ever seen. I see a tutorial in your future. I love the pillow and that fabric is luscious. I need a pillow for my chair. May have to put that on my project list.

  10. Great job Barb! Those yucky drab garbage cans always stick out like a sore thumb. Now it can be shown in all it's beauty!

    It drives me nuts every time a pillow falls off a chair or the couch. Grrr!

  19. Good luck Barb!!!!! I love your entries!! You are so creative. I never would have though of putting a buckle on the back of a pillow to keep it from falling off. I probably would have just used Hello Kitty duct tape or something lol!!!! Oh and your trash can is too cute to use now =P
