I like dish towels, they're relatively inexpensive and they have a million uses (I like to get mine from World Market). I made my first pillow last week, and while I'm pretty crafty, sewing is not my forte, so if you're not Suzy Homemaker, bear with me. Here's what you need:
1. 2 dishtowels or tea towels (get 2 different ones to mix things up)
2. Needle and thread
3. Poly-fill pillow stuffing
Hand sew 3 sides of the dish towel together, and 3/4 of the fourth side, stuff the poly-fill stuffing into the 1/4 hole that you've made. Once you've stuffed the pillow pretty full, finish sewing up the hole. That wasn't too bad, now was it?
Advanced pillow: Try using a thicker, bright color thread, for more of an accent, or add a ribbon around the whole pillow for a different look. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEW AT ALL, USE FUSING TAPE, just iron the two pieces together.
Hi Marcie! A friend sent me your blog because I share your passion for re-making furniture. Looks like we share the same profession, too! I am enjoying reading your blog, keep 'em coming!
