Who doesn't love Pinterest??? It's the best thing ever created. I hope whomever did is now a billionaire because they are awesome! I have learned so many things off of there. Want to know how to cook something? Go to Pinterest! Want to sew a project and don't know how? Go! You'll find it. It will be there, along with 50 thousand other tutorials for you. I would love to say that I'm this mastermind that can come up with original stuff, but I'm not there yet. As far as sewing goes, my feet are still wet. Some days my sewing machine and I don't quite see eye to eye. So there have been a few things that I've been wanting to learn. 1. Infinity Scarf (I love these stinking things). Could you not wear these every day in the fall? I could! 2. Decorative pillow case that could easily be taken off and washed. Aaaannnnnnddddd......BOOM, Pinterest had it. Now, I usually would give credit to the tutorial I got it from, but truly, I looked at so many today and kind of made my own thing up. There literally were hundreds. So here is a little look at what I did today:
With all of the tutorials I found on Infinity scarves, I didn't really feel like any of the measurements were what I was going for, so I finally found my own. 24 inches wide and 75 in height. Crazy I know! You use a ton of material for those things. The pillow turned out so cute! The vintage doily on the front I actually bought in Canton, TX at the Trade Days Fair. I had seen another little booth there that gave me the idea of putting these cute vintage doilies onto a pillow. So that's what I did! I sewed it right on the front. I let my stitching show because frankly, I think it's cuter that way. The back was so much easier than I thought it was going to be. And, I used antique flour sack that I had purchased at a Flea Market. I love this envelope style on the back. If something happens, you take it out and wash it. Wow, I'm beat! This is more sewing than I've done in a very long time! I definitely have missed it!
