Pillows by Me

I have been having so much fun with pillows this month! Selfishly - none of these babies are for sale - they are all specially made by me - for my home!

I make envelope pillow cases. I seriously made 5 pillows the other night in maybe 30 minutes - awesome I know!  Sorry so blurry - I can't figure out this camera - always blurry without a flash!!


To give the solid pillow some pizazz I braided scraps of fabric & sewed them into a large circle & then sewed them onto the pillow.


For Trudie's dog bed, I created her some very special pillows. I topped off her smaller turquoise pillow with a T for her initial.


For our bed I did the same braided scraps technique to make a solid green pillow have a little something special by adding an R for our last name.

  2. I have a pillow fetish, it's ridiculous, I mean you should see how many pillows I have. When I go in a home decor store, that's the first section I go to....PILLOWS! I think it's a great inexpensive way (well sometimes, depending on the store...LOL) to change up a room in an instant. I don't sew so I can't make all the pretties like you have.

    Hugs,
    LeAnn:)
