Five Dollar (almost!)Chevron Envelope Pillows

This was my first attempt at an envelope pillow.  I bought the chevron fabric at Hobby Lobby with a 40% off coupon, so it cost me 5.39 for a yard.  Then I used pillow forms I had used for other pillows that are no longer in use.  So, 2 pillows for a little over 5 dollars.  Sorry the pics are sideways....I didn't realize there wasn't a memory card in my camera when I took them. 

 



Here's the back of the pillow...the envelope part.

 



 

Here it is on the red sofa in the playroom.  Since it was so easy, I'm planning on making two more in a coordinating fabric sometime soon!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Curtains for the classroom

 

 

My classroom is done in black and colorful dots.  I bought this fabric to accent the other fabrics in my classroom and made a runner and curtain for a shelf with it.  It was very easy to sew and took about 10  minutes, including cutting and ironing.

Curtains for my Classroom

Here's the print that I picked. The dots don't come through on the camera very well, but they really go perfectly with my dot theme.

Little Dresses for Africa

Create your own digital collage

We gathered today to sew some dresses for girls in Africa. The dresses are very easy to sew, even for a beginner like myself. We made 7 dresses in little over 2 hours. We'll meet again in August to sew a few more. The website is www.littledressesforafrica.org

Bandana Dress

I made this dress today for Miss M. I used 2 bandanas from Walmart that were 1.00 each and some ribbon that I had at home from other projects. I think it came out pretty cute! I'm going to do a patriotic one next. I can't believe I actually sewed something! I used this video from You Tube for the directions:

Peace,
