Repurposed Valentines Pillow!

As most of you know I’m on a repurposing kick. Moving has caused me to look around and see what I have and where or for what I can use it for. If it doesn’t have a “purpose” it’s out a here.

So the other day I had an itch to sew something. Nothing major, just something. What’s the easiest thing to sew on the planet? Yeah, a pillow. It’s so easy I didn’t bother giving you a tutorial because, it’s a pillow people. Four almost  straight sides, some stuffing, done! It took me about 3 hours. Just kidding. Maybe a half hour total.

I didn’t want a lot of great detail with my pillow. Remember I wanted to do something quick and easy and something I would actually finish. So I scoured around and found some leftover shiny red fabric from my 40th party (hard to work with but I used it anyway) and some old off white curtains that weren’t going to make their way back on the wall in our new home (sorry).

I cut out a heart, sewed it to the top of the pillow. Then I stitched, stuffed and closed it up and this is my final product. Perfect? Far from it but I thought it was cute. I’m going to make another one to match.

 

Last year I made this pillow, remember?

I hope this inspires you to look around at what you have and turn it into something fun. Let me know if you do. I’d love to see it.

HUGS!
