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!
Also On Tap for Today:
- Stock up for winter!
- Last minute packing, nail painting, and document finding
- Thanks, Betsy! 🙂
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.
