Pillows and Pillow Covers

My 53rd, 54th, 55th and 56th completed sewing projects for 2008!



I am excited to have finished these because they were a lot of work! The only thing I had to purchase to make them was the zippers for the covers and the cording. I used leftover fabric from when we recovered my glider rocker 5 years ago, and the stuff is remants from a garment factory which make really nice pillows. The actual pillows were old white shirts of Ben's that he no longer used so I cut them up and made pillows.

I am getting really excited about decorating my front room. Ben and I went to Joann's and picked out some fabric for me to make a new couch cover and it is orange. I am so excited about having a green striped couch and a orange couch with purple pillows. Eventually I am going to purchase a large 7 foot square deep purple rug to go in the front room, but I am going to have to save my money for a while. It is so fun to sew!
