Pillows!

One of my most recent sewing projects has been pillows.  Pillows add color and interest to most areas - chairs, couches, floors, and beds.  I have learned a little bit of sewing knowledge on each pillow. 

For the yellow (the first one) pillow, I used this tutorial for a flap pillow case.  This site actually gives you 3 ways to make a pillow case.  And for the second pillow, I used the Jones Design Company (one of my most favorite blogs right now!) tutorial for a ruffle pillow.   I just used 3 ruffles because the pillow was a little big for so many ruffles. 

And on the couch...

This next pillow is also from Jones Design Company.  I followed the tutorial for the gathered flower and then made the flap pillow cover.  

And here with new favorite chair (and Carlos's too!).  This chair was my grandmothers who gave it to my sister, who had it recovered, who gave it to me.  Love. It.  This is in my kitchen.  Carlos is in Heaven in this chair.  Yesterday, we came home from church and both kitties were snuggled up together in it.  Precious.

And finally, the ruffle pillow!  Made from the previous link of course.  I gave this to my mom for her birthday. 

Happy pillow making!

Lynn you are so talented! I love those pillows and love how you have decorated your house. That is such a great chair. I wish I could sew pillows! Maybe it is best I don't because I would probably get carried away constantly changing out my throw pillows and sewing new ones :)
