Because I'm me (and by "me," I mean, strange) the highlight of my staycation was finally getting around to some of those lingering projects. (And by "lingering projects" I mean sewing, which is why the burned-out lightbulbs in the impossible-to-remove light fixture are still dark.)
Anywho, this brings me to these pillows that I recovered, using my stash of Anna Maria Horner's Little Folks voile. I used the dobby yellow print as the center and did some simple piecing with two other fabrics around it. Because the voile is so sheer, I added a layer of fabric stabilizer to the back.
I used some Little Folks flannel on the back and, inspired by some sewing I did with The Modern Gal the weekend before, made a simple envelope enclosure on the back.
I did two pillows before my sewing machine crapped out on me (a story for another time), but I love how they turned out. Simple and sweet, and perfect for my living room.

These are so pretty and beat my generic pillows bought at Target. I really like the main graphic in the first pillow.
Love these Noodles! So unique and beautiful! Me= impressed!
Thanks, peepettes!
I love the center! I'm plotting my next project. In fact, I have the afternoon off and was planning on pulling out all the fabric you brought me in an effort to envision what could be done with it. Oh the possibilities ...
