I'VE BEEN SEWING UP CALENDAR PILLOWS SINCE I GOT 3 AT A GARAGE SALE LAST SUMMER FOR $1.50! THEY FOLD IN HALF TO MAKE THE CUTEST LITTLE THROW PILLOWS. FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN, THEY STILL MAKE THESE CALENDARS. THE DATES I'VE FOUND VARY FROM 1960-1990.
I'VE DONE 8 NOW. THE HARDEST ONE DIDN'T FOLD IN HALF GOOD. I HAD TO IMPROVISE. I SEWED ON THREE ROWS OF RICK-RACK TO FILL THE VOID ABOVE THE IMAGE. THIS WAS A TRICKY TASK, GETTING THEM ON STRAIGHT!
MY ADVICE ON THESE PILLOWS;
DON'T PREWASH THEM, IT'S NOT WORTH THE RISK OF COLORS BLEEDING!
THE CALENDARS W/O FRAMES OR LINES SHOW THE LEAST FLAW!
BIRTHDATES, GRADUATION OR ANNIVERSARY YEARS MAKE THOUGHTFUL GIFTS!
THERE ARE DIFFERENT THEMES & SCENES, SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!
Good Job Jane!! I love the pillow you gave to me! My blog is up but I have to start posting!
