Sew Fast Pillow Project

Ever get the feeling you just have to sew something? Something quick and easy, an instant gratification fix. This fun pillow cover is it. I finished in just under an hour.

I cut strips of the fantastic bikes from Erin McMorris’ new line, Weekends (a good choice for the long holiday weekend!) and paired them with strips of Kona solids – cactus, bright pink, medium grey, orange and ash. I didn’t even care if I sewed them that straight. A little wonky never hurt anybody. It’s a simple envelope enclosure in the back. If anyone is interested in a tutorial, leave a comment and I’ll get a more specific write-up for you.

All fabrics used are available in our shop.

More Pillows

I’m having great fun making these pillows. These latest ones have gone all wonky, no parallel seams here. It feels very creative, just picking through the scrap bag finding colors and shapes and constructing a pillow puzzle. They may end up in my Etsy shop where I’ve been promising fabric pieces for more than a year.

I have a Paisley Problem

And possibly a growing pillow problem.

But at least it’s not a pufferfish problem. What’s a pufferfish problem you ask? One day my big boy was screaming, “Mom, I need your help quick.” I dashed off to find him at the computer playing Diego’s Undersea Adventure on noggin.com with a clear pufferfish problem. It wasn’t pretty.
