Friday - Cozy Cute Pillows


....more
.
This past weekend I found 2 vintage kitchen linens at an incredibly low price. I don't mind being frugal and on a budget. One is large kitchen towel. The fabric is a thin cotton in red, white, and blue. Next was a corn sack that as weathered with character. I bought both of them thinking I was going to sew them into aprons. Instead I decided to make pillows. I added a beige linen fabric to the large kitchen towel and stuffed the pillow. Next, I added rick-rack in red & blue to the corn sack. I like that the pillows are large and comfy, and most of all I want my kids to be able to use them when they are laying around watching television.

That was so much fun. I hope you have a blessed weekend.
