How To DIY Design Pillow Cover
One of my inspirations to create my own blog was Virginia from
livelovediy.com. That chick is fabulous and so creative. I stalk her blog on a daily basis waiting for her next post. I have mimicked many of her DIY projects, so, I will reference her on my blog where she deserves the props.
There are a ton of DIY pillow case tutorials to choose from, however, Virginia's pillow cover has a twist 'DIY stencil sharpie pillow', see the original post
here. I looooved this idea and used it on my pillows that no longer matched my new decor. The old Mary-Ellen would take those un-matching pillows and throw them to the back of my storage area and forget about them while I shopped for new ones. BUT, I have changed my ways and found peace in renewing the old! So, this is what I did:
First, I picked out the fabric I wanted for my pillows. I asked the nice ladies at the fabric store what would work best for pillow covers since I know little to nothing about fabric. I picked out a pure white to match my bedspread.
Virginia used a no sew glue and glued her fabric together. I actually searched for it at Michael's Craft Store and the local fabric stores but had no luck. I have a hunch that perhaps it's not sold in Canada. Anyone heard of Unique Stitch sold in Nova Scotia? If so leave me a comment and let me know! I would love to get my paws on some. I too share a hatred for sewing. My mother is an exceptional seamstress and has taught me the basics but I'd rather squeeze glue out of a bottle if it works.
