Project Pillows

I finally put the money into investing into a sewing machine. I didn’t put much research into it, I knew I wanted it inexpensive and nothing to complicated. I bought a basic Singer at Target for $89.95. Since they only had 4  Singers,  it made by decision much easier (and the Martha Stewart seal of approval on the box helped by decision too =D).

I bought a few yards of fabric at Nancy’s Sewing Basket in Queen Anne. It was a really good fabric store, with a variety of things and good quality fabrics. I thought of it as a much smaller Britex. Did I mention they have a ribbon room. A WHOLE ROOM OF RIBBONS. I will definietly have to make it back there some time. I then went to JoAnn’s  to get some nice button closures as well as all the solid colored fabrics that I would need to use for the backs of the pillows

These three pillow covers were my secret Santa gift. I did go over the $20 budget slightly – but I could  not think of anything better to make for her. This was my first project on a sewing machine -  Project pillowcase was a success! I even made button holes!
