I DID MY BEST AT CUTTING TWO RECTANGLES. I THEN HAD TO HAND SEW THE BUTTON AREA CLOSED. YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO BELOW THAT BEYOND WHERE I HAD SEWED WAS PULLING & UGLY. THIS JUST STRAIGHTENED THINGS OUT GOOD FOR ME.
I'VE BEEN SEEING A LOT OF BLUE STRIPED MATERIAL ON PILLOWS LATELY ONLINE IN SHABBY HOMES, SO I DECIDED TO JUMP ON BOARD WITH THAT FAD. THE RESULTS OF THIS PROJECT WAS AN UPCYCLED, SOFT, NARROW THROW PILLOW!
I love how it turned out! I have a souvenir sweatshirt that I'm thinking might work this way. The zipper is broke, but if I sew it shut and cut out a square shape...

Hi, friend! You've got a lot of informative & creative posts so why
ReplyDeletenot show them off at the Creative Bloggers' Party & Hop? My co-host
this week is Tammy from Amber from Lucky Lees To Be.
This is a combination of linky party (where we can show off our
creations) and of blog hop (where we can follow as many excellent
bloggers as we like), hence the name Creative Bloggers' Party & Hop.
It's a great way to meet awesome creative bloggers like you and
increase your followers in the process.
All you have to do is 1) link up whatever creative post you'd like to
share - can be a DIY project, decor, photography, crafts, recipes,
poem, thrift finds, tips, or that informative syndicated post that can
make us laugh, or cry - in short, whatever you're proud of! 2) Then
follow as many blogs as your heart desires, preferably starting first
with the one before you and after you, and leave a comment to them
that you're doing so.
You’re not required to include the party button – you read that right
– not required to include the party button but if you’re so inclined
to display it in your blog or your post, you’re very much welcome to
do so :)
