Erin has been hosting pillow week this week. If you have a few minutes (ok, an hour or so) pop over because she has some great video tutorials answering lots of how to questions regarding pillows.
Pillows are such great projects. Similar to the impact a new paint color has on a room, pillows are inexpensive and can really change how the room looks in just a short amount of time.
I've had this great blue and grey plaid for a few weeks now. I picked it up at Joann's when I was getting the pattern for Wyatt's Halloween costume. I didn't know what I would do with it, but when I saw Erin's pillow challenge, I knew some new living room pillows would be great in front of the fireplace.
This fabric at first looks a bit like wool, but is super soft - almost like fleece, but even cozier. It is easy to sew with as it doesn't ravel much.
Yesterday I made two pillow covers for the summer pillows. I love the idea of having simple, seasonal slip-on covers for the living room pillows. This project took me all of 20 minutes and was so gratifying...just what my creative brain needed! I am already thinking up what to do for Christmas. Maybe some snowflake doily embellishment?
On the plate today is to make three huge floor pillows in a coordinating plaid for lounging in front of the fireplace.
On second thought...
...these seem to be working just fine.
Join Erin and make some pillows this week!
