I have quite a "if only I had" list. If only I had learned to sew is on that list. I had access to some amazing seamstresses, my Aunt Kay & Grandma Shirley! Sigh, if I could turn back time I'd be one piano playing, guitar strumming, quilt tying, crocheting, little seamstress. Oh well, good thing I have access to some pretty talented friends in my old age.
So, in deciding what to do for my pillows I determined that I could probably pull it off on my own (sloppily no doubt) except I really wanted to add piping for a little extra detail. My friend Colleen (Martha Extraordinaire) let me invade her {adorable} sewing room for an afternoon to teach me and Mary (another super crafty friend) how to do it. By the time we were done Mary and Colleen had helped me finish 2 of my pillows! Check them out!
Overlapping in the back for easy cleaning! That is soooo key with little ones around. Plus it makes my decor very flexible! The picture shows a pin stuck through but I added some non-sew velcro to keep it "taut".
Now to finish the other 3! Hopefully they will be as beautiful. I will take pics of the process when I get around to getting them done.
I am so lucky to have so many friends and family who can help me fulfill my crafty cravings!
