My mother is an amazing seamstress.  Her mother was an amazing seamstress.  I feel as if it runs in my blood.  So, a few months ago, my friend Jess & I took a sewing class and I fell in love.  We learned how to make pillow cases and I’ve probably made, oh, 395 pillows since then.  And two aprons.  And then a few more pillows.  Lucky for me I have a lot of chairs that were in need of a bit of dressing up.

But then I got a bit bored.  Not wanting to move too far from the basic square, maybe even a rectangle… and so not ready for anything involving more than four edges, I decided to try some piping!  My pillows are getting dressed up these days kids! 

They’re no where near perfect yet.  Maybe a little bit lopsided & crazy looking.  But I must say I’m in love and now the rest of my pillows don’t look tailored enough.  Time to replace all the new pillows with even newer ones
