Upcycle


I found two of these standard bed sized pillow cases at a local thrift shop and bought them for fifty cents each. 


Cutting and sewing the one into a decorative pillow took less than twenty minutes.


The other will follow suit today.

Hooray for combining two of my favorite past times  . . . thrifting and sewing!
