3 pillow {embellishment} ideas

Hey y’all.  Yesterday we were talking pillow cover making and today we’re giving those little covers a little extra umph with 3 easy ways to update a pillow cover. Let’s jump right in and start with the white pillow covers.  You may recall we didn’t work with any white fabric yesterday.  Those beauties in the back are just regular white pillow cases updated with a blue sharpie.  Easy peasy, right!?!

upcycle old shirts {pillow covers}

As it turns out, this fun little project was a success to the detriment of our donation pile.  Sorry Asiento! When I was getting our donation box organized, around the same time I was getting our rooftop bedroom set up, I was drawn to a couple of blue shirts my husband had in there.  Apparently I didn’t see a need to take a pic of the shirts other than just in a pile with the pillow forms. The blue one was a regular polo shirt and the light blue one with the sail fish images was a Tommy Bahama style shirt. Here is the tale of how a novice sewer lady took two old shirts and made a few pillow covers.
