Shoot Me! 32 of 52

Today I didn't have to work because all the teachers had to attend an archdiocese conference in Omaha. Therefore, the kids and I spend the morning at my parents' house. The kids played and picked pumpkins while I completed a project that has been sitting in my closet unfinished for months. I finally completed new slipcover pillows for the couch. I am not a sewer by any means, but this sewing project was so easy plus my Mom helped me.

I have been slipping on posting and participating in Carin's Shoot Me challenge, but I am back blogging. Today is your chance to post a photo of yourself alone or with someone. Too often, I am not in any photos because I am the one taking the photo.

The first step of the project was to cut out a square of fabric that was one inch larger than your filler pillow. My filler pillow was 16 x 16 so the front square of fabric was 17 x 17. Then my Mom cut out two pieces of fabric 12 x 17 for the back panel.

Then I hemmed the overlapping back pieces with a 1/4 inch seam. Then I sewed the front and back panels together, snipped the corners, and put the filler pillows into the slip covers.

The two completed pillows are now sitting on my living room couch. I now can throw away my old pillows that look gross and needed to be replaced.

Take care,
