Pillow Projects


My project for the day are pillows and I already got some done, but not totally finished since I still wanted to add some tassels to it and make it look more interesting. For someone that lives in a very small town, I can't get everything I need right away, so I have to wait until we go out of town, then my projects will be on hold for a while. Making a list is a must for me. The fabrics I used for these three pillows are from sample fabrics that I got from a rummage sale, and now I wish I bought all of them, but at least I got quite a few. I think you can even ask the stores if ever they have some samples that they want to get rid of and they might give it you. That is if you are not shy to ask like me. LOL!

I am also going to make two bolster pillows and the fabric that I am going to use is the same as the ones that I used reupholstering our dining chairs.

My first ever reupholstering and it was an easy job for me! Thanks to my husband who bought me a staple gun for my birthday. LOL!
