I saw a tutorial online for something I wanted to try, so this weekend I went to work at it. It's nice for me to have some projects lined up to complete so when Matt pulls out his textbooks to study over the weekend, I've got a list of tasks to accomplish. Of course, I always pick the most fun option so this weekend I ignored "vacuuming" for "make a cute pillow."
I started on Saturday night, had some problems with the sewing machine, and quit before dinner. Sunday morning I had a bad dream . . . seriously, it woke me up and I couldn't sleep so at 5:45 I hit the old needle and bobbin (??).
Coffee in hand, of course.
A pin here, a stitch there . . .
It was all fairly relaxing because the nature of the ruffles covered a world of wrongs. The fabric was cheap as can be, so I bought plenty in case I messed up.
After a little while . . .
Ta-da!
A sweet, frilly little throw pillow. I like it. I'm pleased with myself, because it looks better in real life and not so lumpy. It now lives in our guest room.

bravo! You're a nice little Suzy Homemaker these days :)
Dear Erica. You are insane. Who the heck sews that well on their SECOND sewing project?! Miss you! Miss Moose! (and Matt too of course) :)
Cute! Last summer my mom and I went shopping for throw pillows and found two at Pier One that looked really similar with the ruffle and they turned out to be $38 each!! Absurd. Needless to say we didn't buy those! Yours is way cute and wayyy cheaper too. :)
It's really cute! I love the ruffles.
Way to go cute and crafty Nanny! I want to do fun projects like that! Come live by me and we can cook and you can teach me to sew and we can repurpose things, and take pictures :) The list goes on....
Love the pillow, but maybe love that coffeee cup more.. remember where you got it? I so need to drink my coffee that way!:)
Soo cute! You have to show me how you do this, please.
That turned out beautifully! LOVE it! I want one! You did a fantastic job! I love me some ruffles!
