Thanks to sites like
Pinterest and various craft-astic blogs, I am bombarded with amazing projects that I would LOVE to attempt. I probably will never tackle most of them
1) I lack patience - just ask my girls! and
2) I truly don't have the time. Besides, I am pretty happy to pay for things rather than make them. Except for pillows. I have a fondness for making pillows. Of course, it's no surprise, since sewing a pillow takes absolutely no skill, and satisfies my need for instant gratification. They make great gifts for friends or family and since I tend to change my mind and style frequently (my husband would call it annoying), it's a easy way to play with fabrics, colours and textures.

Next time you are on the hunt for a throw pillow, look at the price tag, then go home and make one instead!
I had no idea! They are gorgeous
ReplyDeleteThey look great! Maybe we can go fabric shopping together! Then you can gather inspiration for mine. : )
ReplyDeleteI have my fabric all ready but haven't gotten organized to create them yet. Do you use zippers to close them?
ReplyDeleteGreat!
DeleteI don't use zippers - not that skilled yet. They are sewn shut on all sides. My next step is to try adding zippers! Wish me luck.
