Petite Pillows

The other day I decided to take my sewing machine out of hiding

and actually use it again ~ My mom and dad had a sewing machine store

when I was growing up so I would spend days and days sewing

after school ~ My dining room table looks like a tornado hit but it is fun sewing again ~

I am loving making these petite pillows ~ I had this gorgeous gorgeous

crinoline that has some ripped issues that could not be mended ~

So it is now sweet little ruffles that will be everywhere because they

are soooo cute !!




The pillow with the picture I did not make ~ I love

the little picture so it is in my guest bedroom ~







Sweet gift idea using a pillow from Katies Rose Cottage

and Jewelry and Cards and Tags from Katies Rose Cottage Designs ~

Your pillows are so sweet! My sewing machine has not been used in FOREVER!!!!!!!! And I broke it out this week too. I have to make 26 gifts for a swap for Petticoats & Parasols Art Event & I decided to do pin cushions. I have been sewing like a mad woman. Funny we both broke them out this week. I LOVE what you did with the pillows. I know they will be a HIT! Happy Easter! Charlene
