Junky Pillow Makeover

I’ve talked about making new pillows for months. Literally. I’m kind of obsessed -- but only in my head {ya sorta have to make them or buy them to get it out of your head right??} Weird.

So I did it. FINALLY.

In order to appreciate these pillows, you have to see what I started with…

I’m sorry but they’ve seen better days. Not to mention they do NOT match the rest of the living room (not shown…but will soon!)

Being the cost conscious person that I am, I decided to split them up and make multiple pillow forms – like this….

Have you looked at the prices of pillow forms? I’m sorry…but FREE puts a smile on this girls face ;)

I just cut them in half, and sewed them shut. The idea came from Linda @ it all started with paint. She has some amazing projects!

{Check out my mint 1976 Singer sewing machine. My grandmother gave me this for christmas and I adore it. No LOVE it.}

I sewed a cover…..

These are much better than what I started with. And much cheaper than store bought pillows. Oh…and did I mention the added satisfaction of knowing I did them? ;)

{I was able to incorporate the last of my flower fabric used on my craigslist lamp makeover project seen here.}

Here’s my little man Duncan. Pillow-making is a tiring process ;)

Well…that’s that. I can now say that I’ve sewn my own pillows.

 Total cost for the two white pillows -- $5. YESSSS!

Happy blogging!
