Hey y’all, I Made Pillow Covers!

Hey y’all! I made pillow covers and it’s about time.

You see, Christmas before last I got a sewing machine from Cory’s grandmother and I had high hopes of pulling it out of the box and sewing all kinds of things I found on Pinterest. I’ve seen people sew before and it didn’t look like too daunting of a task. Turns out, it was a little more complicated than I originally thought. With the help of my mom, I used it one more time last May and by help I mean she used the sewing machine and I sat there and watched.

After getting volunteered to sew the curtains at church, I was determined to learn how to use my machine. So, I pulled it out of the box, read the directions to learn how to set it up and started practicing sewing a straight line. After feeling somewhat confident in myself, I decided to try out my hand on some pillow covers for the pillows I bought at Ikea a few months ago. And I must say, I’m pretty freakin shocked excited with the results.

By the way, I didn’t make the hey y’all pillow. You didn’t think I was that good, did you??? It came from Hobby Lobby.

Since I’ve used my sewing machine all of three times now, I won’t pretend to know what I’m doing enough to make this a tutorial but the one I used from A Curiously Chic Life was great and very simple to follow. Seriously, if I can do it, you can too!

Pillow Covers*please excuse my NEW YEARS printable. I’m only five months behind.

I’ve still got one more pillow to cover and plenty of fabric so I’m thinking I will do another chevron one. Now that I’ve got the envelope case mastered {ahem}, my possibilities are endless and I think both the bedrooms will get new pillows too!

I’m sharing my new DIY pillow covers with Jenni and friends over Tuesday Tea and Mandy @ House of Rose.
