Pačvork jastučići / Patchwork cushions

Nedavno sam dobila dva jastučeta kojima su trebale lepe jastučnice da bi krasili moj kauč. Pošto je kauč jednobojan, reših da ga osvežim šarenim jastučićima u pačvork tehnici. Inače, jako volim pačvork, i uživam u samom procesu sastavljanja šarenih delića u celinu, ali često imam problem da uklopim stvari rađene ovom tehnikom sa ostatkom nameštaja u stanu. Velike površine su mi često previše šarene ili previše rustičnog izgleda za moj ukus, tako da sam do sada izbegavala da pravim pokrivače ili prekrivače za svoj stan. Onaj par prekrivača što sam napravila se divno uklopio u kuću na selu, koja je sva u etno - rustičnom stilu.

Recently I got a couple of cushions that needed pillowcases so I could put them on my couch. Since the couch is in plain color, I thought some colorful patchwork cushions would go well with it. I really like patchwork and I enjoy in process of making a whole out of numerous pieces, but I often have a problem with combining the patchworked items with the rest of my furniture. Big patchworked surfaces are usually too colorful or too rustic for my liking so I've avoided to make quilts for my apartment. The set of quilts I made earlier fit beautifully in our country house, which is all decorated in etno-rustic style.

Uglavnom, za jastučiće sam koristila ostatke materijala koji su ostali od žuto - maslinastog kaputa, kao i maslinasto - bež pepito materijal koji je ostao od nekih pantalona koje sam davno šila. Hehe, zamislite kako bi smešno bilo da u kaputu sednem na kauč i stopim se s njim! U svakom slučaju, boje su se odlično uklopile i međusobno, a i sa mojim kaučem. Takođe, jastučići imaju taman dovoljno boje da malo ožive kauč, a opet nisu ni rustični ni prešareni. Prava mera za moj ukus.

Anyways, I used remnants from the yellow - olive coat and some beige - olive houndstooth wool that was a remnant from a pair of pants I made ages ago. Hehe, imagine how hilarious it would be for me to sit on the couch wearing the coat and blend wit the pillows! The colors matched well with each other as well as with the coach. The cushions are colorful enough to add some light to the couch, yet not rustic nor overwhelming for my liking.
