Pillows, Part 2

I made some more pillow covers this weekend.  With their completion, I now have a nice set of pillows in the living room which, especially when combined with the new curtains, make things much more cozy.

This is the one I made on Saturday and I absolutely love it.  It’s made from two of my old shirts which didn’t fit me very well, but I still really loved the fabric.  (It’s not seen above because it’s actually on the loveseat, not on the couch)

I cut the fabric for the next one on Saturday and sewed it on Sunday.  My sewing wasn’t the best on this one and the pillow I filled it with is old and kind of lumpy, but that can easily be remedied later on with a new pillow.  The fabric for this one is a handkerchief and leftover fabric from another pillow cover I made awhile back.

With pillows (the other two floral pillows are some I inherited – by asking for them – from my Meme and which I love the mostest):

I really love how the living room is looking right now.  In addition to the pillows and curtains, I also recently changed the “art” above the couch.  It is now some photos I took myself at/of a place I dearly cherish.  The personal touches really make things more comfy and welcoming to me.
