Today: Made a pillow. Sew whaaat?

[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] It’s true.  I made something from needle and thread and fabric.  Namely, a throw pillow.  Annelise, Cristy, Colleen and I met up at Grey’s Fabric and Notions last night for a little sewing lesson.   I am proud of my pillow, I was thrilled to spend time with the girls, I enjoyed perusing the gorgeous fabrics… but a professional sewer I am not.  I don’t think I even qualify as amateur.  What’s several steps down from that?  Nincompoop?

You could fit my sewing talent inside one of those thimbles.  Maybe I will show you the pillow later… maybe.  In the meantime, I am heading south for an early winter adventure.  I’ll be back soon, so don’t steal my stuff.  Welp, you can steal the pillow, but leave everything else, please.

While I am sipping fruity cocktails and exploring ancient ruins, I’ve lined up a few fabulous guest posts.  Enjoy!

What was the last thing you made?  Traveling soon?

    Great photos! And even though you had a little trouble, your pillow still turned out fantastically.

    Have a great trip!

    I love to sew but the older I get, the sloppier my stuff looks.
