Project for Mom

 I am making some throw pillows for my mom's couch! I went to the thrift store in town and bought 5 pillows for only $8!!!! It was a great buy :)


After bringing the pillows home they immediately went into the washer with bleach and hot water. I recommend this for any pillow or fabric you purchase used. 



After pulling the pillows from the dryer I started to get a little excited about this project. I'd like to mention that I haven't seen Mom's couch in person. I've only seen two pictures and had to make my fabric choices based on the pictures on my phone.....I'm sure some of you have an idea how that can be.


I made two pillows like the one above, and two like the one to right. For the fifth I'm not exactly sure what to do with it. It's a smaller pillow and rectangular in shape. I'm thinking about incorporating all three fabrics into one pillow some how. Maybe a ruffle pillow? Either way..........I'll keep you posted :)
