Since it's a solid color which we both love, it gives me the chance to jazz it up a bit with some deocrative pillows. Dave & I hit a little issue over what kinds of pillows to get. We got stuck trying to decide if the pillows should match or should we have one decorative pillows and a few solid pillows. It was a huge dilema solved by the girls on The Nest. Their advice? Mix it up!
Sounds good to me! Since I did so well with sewing my cushion for the window seat, I figured I would sew a pillow for the couch from the left over fabric from the window seat.
My idea was to make an envelope pillow. Something that looks like this:
In my mind, the idea was simple. I was also very excited about picking out a button to close the envelope of the pillow. So I sat down and sewed up the two sides of the pillow. The sides came out great, now that I'm an old sewing pro! (haha)
I stuffed the pillow and was ready to get started on the top "envelope" looking portion of my pillow and ran into a problem.
I don't know how to close the top of the pillow without having the stuffing come out of it! I don't think I left enough room on the top front of the pillow to cover over the stuffing. I really don't like the idea of having to start over, but I think I need to admit defeat, look up directions on-line, and start over. (insert giant sigh here).
One last time, here's my failed pillow project. I guess I'm not yet at Domestic Diva status.
