And for those of you that know me well, you know that sewing anything is a huge feat, and sewing something that actually turns out well (with out being helped every step of the way) is next to impossible for me.
So I'm very proud!
I got the fabric at Ikea, it was so cheap--like 2 or 3 bucks a yard for the blue, and about 5 bucks a yard for the patterned stuff. So great. And most of the pillow innards came from Ikea too.
Carie showed me how to make the first one (thanks Carie!!), and after about a week of trying and a lot of help for my mom I actually remembered how to thread my sewing machine. After that I went crazy and if I hadn't run out of fabric I probably would've ended up with like 15 pillows.
I'm excited to bring them to our new house, hopefully they'll look good on our nicer couch that someone else is borrowing from us right now. I'm looking forward to relaxing on that couch once again--with the new pillows of course!
I love the fabric, it's so cute. The colors are so cheery. And they make Max sing the Katamari song. "na, na na na na na na na na na na na na na" I can explain that later for those who are confused and care to learn more about weird japanese video games.

I love the pillows! You could totally sell those, they are adorable. Any chance you are going to post directions?
Way cute and so trendy! Love them! You'll have to post a pic when they are on your new (old) couch!

Cute pillows! And nice to hear from you, Ginna Wren. Glad to see you are doing well and have such a cute family! :)
SUPER Cute! Wow I love them and you did an awesome job!
Cute, I love the bright colors. You did a great job! Ikea is so fabulous, last time I was there I found the cutest fabric I want to make curtain out of for our playroom. Although I have no idea how to make curtain so I didn't get it.
Wow. And you even used your machine. I am so proud of you. They really are awesome and so bright and fun. Good job.
