finally!
so basically that means
i ate like crap all weekend and mentioned several times my tummy hurting
so i'm over it for now
back to normal eating - which included hot oats straight out of the rice cooker this morning!
it's a good thing i'm over the junk food
lord help me when we reach the reese's (which i strategically put on the bottom)
the weekend was kind of a blur - spent helping friends move and craft night with my SILs
i had wanted to really set up my sewing/knitting corner, but never really got around to doing so
i DID however make some envelope style pillow covers for the living room
quite boring - and really did nothing to bring color into the room
followed it exactly
and VIOLA!
instant transformation!
if you've ever shopped for pillows you would know that basic decorative pillows can cost you $25+ each
this project cost me about $10 - including both front and back fabrics (backing was made out of muslin which is super cheap) and matching thread
i only fell in love with this chevron pattern - so i actually still have 2 more pillows that need covered.
i was hoping to get some contrasting patterns
my only suggestion and tweak i would make to the tutorial listed - and it's really a personal preference
the lady at the fabric store told me to bring my seam allowance in a bit at the corners - which i didn't - and you can tell from my photos you end up with really pointy pillows
it doesn't bother me really - i think they look fine
but for someone else who is a sewing newbie, i thought i would pass along the info.
i'm hoping to find more fabric on lunch today so i can finish this project tonight!
in other news
i'm prepping for a short week here at work
because it's that time of year again where i travel to our other plant locations
and do cost accounting stuff
...and do a teeny tiny bit of sightseeing while i can :)
