{Pillows}

Remember these pillows? Sad, dreary pillows....

Well, my friend Chels decided she would be willing to help me make some new pillows to brighten up my sofa. The only sewing I have ever done was in a class in high school. Needless to say, I don't have a finished product of any project, and the pieces of a dress laid in a bag until I got married and threw them away. Don't know how I passed that class, but you get the point. But, we found the cutest fabric shop in Preston, and it inspired me! :) So, my first attempt at sewing went pretty good if I do say so myself.

I saw this fabric called around the world and I had to have it. It has landmarks from famous cities, and you know I love traveling. Those Russian building tops were just calling me.
And so was this tree......

Then I saw this yellow fabric. Fantastic color + fantastic graphic = fantastic pillow.

So now my sofa looks sooo much happier! That plum pillow on the right still has to be topped off with a big buttion in the middle.

Yay for me! I am no longer frightened of sewing machines. In fact, I want one.
