Pillow Talk

As a designer, let me just tell you that throw pillows

are one of the most over-priced items around!

This pillow for example:

So cute, but it took about 1/2 yard of fabric, and it is

made up of remnants or scraps of fabric

Total Cost:$98!!!!

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE a good throw pillow.

They are accessories to couches, chairs, and beds.

And they add color, texture, and pizazz to a space!

But let me let you in on a little secret...

make your own!!

ruffled bed pillow, cost: $5

linen pillow sham with vintage doily $3

($1 for the doily at a local antique shop and $2 worth of fabric)

If you find something you like...

Then make your own!

Or try a little something different.

My friend Danielle bought these napkins for $2.99 each

and turned them into this!!

Pillows are one of my favorite things to sew.

They are quick, easy and inexpensive! And when

you're only spending $3-$6 a pop, then don't feel

guilty for having different pillows for each season!
