Call Me June Cleaver – My Retro Yard
I’m feeling very June Cleaver …
minus the perfectly coiffed hair, starched apron and wearing heels while vacuuming thing.
I’ll definitely be the hostest with the mostest this summer as I liven up my yard with these bold, retro prints of my new oilcloth pillows from Modern June.
I am seriously in love.
The quality is amazing – each zipper is hidden and they are perfect for outside (although I won’t leave them out in a downpour)!
I stumbled across this GENIUS idea from Online Fabric Store while searching for pillow inserts!
Use a pillow insert two inches bigger than your pillow cover – it makes them extra plump!
So my 16″x16″ pillow covers were stuffed with an 18″x18″ pillow inserts that are weather resistant from Online Fabric Store – perfect for outside!
Modern June makes more than just pillows and oilcloth! I love her chalk cloth, banners and fun sewing kits (the tote bags are adorable).
Not to mention she’s written two books.

I am not very good at selecting fabric for projects. I need something that pops, lately it seems like everything goes together. Your pillows look great. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love the apples and hibiscus. Every year when I go to Brimfield, MA for fun, I look at the oil cloths and drool. I am very artistic and creative but I do not sew. I wish I did. My mom was a seamstress. I would love to have an one of your great designs. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoy Eclecticallt Vintage. Thank you for the inspiration and good tips. Pat
Love the Apples Green with the Polka Dot Lime and Gingham Orange fro trim! So colorful!
My pillows would be made from cherry white oilcloth and the backs of the pillows would be polka dot lime, solid red, or gingham kiwi.
Greatest tip ever on the pillow stuffing idea! To go with my choices…hard to pick, Hibiscus Yellow, Yellow Stripe, Blue Lace…mix it up. 😉 !
I would love to mix it up with Cherry Aqua, Gingham Kiwi, Forever Strawberry Blue, Cherry White, Lace Pink and Mum Orange! Way too much fun!

So in love with these pillows!! I love the cherry with red polka dots, but really love them all!!
Wow! These are soooo cute!! Loved the laminated cotton too. For a pillow, I’m thinking APPLES GREEN & POLKA DOT BLACK with the GINGHAM BLACK as trim would be cute, no? Also really loving the FAUX BOIS, but not sure what I’d do with em yet? Maybe some placemats?? Or FAUX BOIS BIRCH & LACE GOLD with another as trim for a separate pillow? Hmmm… Well seeing as I don’t have a porch, I’ve got time to ponder… =)
Zoya lime front and orange gingham back, gihgham navy front and polka pink back, and forever strawberry pink with gingham kiwi back……and gingham buttons with rickrack……..so fun!
Love this giveaway. I would choose Bloom Red, Bloom royal blue, Bloom white, Picnic Check red, Solid red, and Striped red.
Thanks for the giveaway. I love the aqua cherry, red lace, rosegave aqua, blue strawberries, they’re all pretty.
I like the yellow stripe, Zoya lime, and Aqua check for the trim.
I like the Red Stripe, the Solid Red and then the Red Polka Dots for trim.
Lace Blue, Lace Silver and the Royal Blue Polka Dots as trim.
The Lace Gold Oilcloth is my favorite, but I’m not sure what I would pair it with! Maybe the Faux Walnut? If I were picking out the whole thing, I would go with Bloom White front, Bloom Red back, and Black Gingham trim.
Would like to see the following:
blue strawberry / lace blue / red gingham trim
zoya lime / yellow stripe / kiwi gingham trim
Love seeing all the cool combos everyone is coming up with – hope you’ll make a suggestion doc on the sale site to inspire shoppers.

I’m gonna be a bit boring here but I would love the gingham yellow and yellow striped oil cloth ( since yellow is the theme for my outdoor space) for pillows! I’ve never used these fabrics on pillows before but the colors make it tempting to try. Love the combo you chose for yours dear!

I am so in love with the oilcloth. Am I wrong or is a yard for $4.25? If so I’ll be buying some of this stuff from her. Will you get a commission on what people buy since you told us about her? Hope so. I love all the vintage look oilcloth, so pretty. Will have hard time deciding which ones I’ll buy first. Love your pillows. Forgot to see how much the pillow forms are. Ah well can go back. Love her website, awesome. Happy week
Jo-Ann’s has some oil cloth but not like prints, colors June does.
