Making Pillow Covers

My latest craft projects have been pillow covers. Adapted from this tutorial from the Seasoned Homemaker blog, I made one for myself with eyeglasses and an upcycled (and freshly washed) Ikea curtain. 

Bitchin. 

On an applique high, I intended to make pillows as gifts for upcoming birthdays. I made this "sue" pillow for my aunt. 

Can't steal her pillow (unless your name is also Sue). 

I attempted an elephant applique design for my cousin, Beth, but failed miserably. Instead, I did ruffles. I kind of make up the ruffle design, but I think it looks super. 

"This is the best gift I have ever received in my life."
