Bargain Fabric & New Throw Pillows
As I said last week, I am going to be in a No Spend period for a while so I can fill up the Piggy Bank, however that isn't going to stop a few projects. I am going to use up all the material I have for various jobs that haven't happened yet. One of my first things was to use up some fabric that I've had for a while and make a couple new pillows.
Whenever JoAnn has a huge fabric sale, I like to browse through and see if there is anything that catches my eye. I don't buy their expensive fabric unless it is on sale for a really good price. I found these two pieces at a super price, so of course I bought enough for some pillows.
I usually buy 3/4 of a yard so I have enough to make 22" pillows or a combination of a square and an oblong. I really like the look and feel of this fabric, it was a substantial cotton and the color and pattern were both nice. It was regularly $34.99 and on sale for 50% off.
This one has a really pretty sequin pattern, and was on the close out rack. It was normally $49.95 yd. I bought 3/4 yd. for $14.99. That is a bargain in my book.
I set my sewing machine up on the end of the breakfast table. It is out of the way there, but also gives me a great work area.
Plenty of room to spread out and create my projects.
I made one 22" pillow with the grey geometric and had enough to also make the cording for a very special designer look. With the sequin fabric, I cut out a 22"...
