I was in HomeGoods yesterday and wandering... Oh, I absolutely love wandering through that store!
I found these placemats on clearance.
Even though I thought they were great looking placemats, I decided they'd work even better as pillows.
I thought about pulling my sewing machine out, but decided to try them by hand. I could always rip it out if it didn't look right.
I turned the placemats right side facing each other, then just kept the edges really straight and stitched away.
I left about 6" unstitched so I could fill it with batting.
Once I filled it, I stitched up the last 6" and now have a great looking pillow. I had the batting on-hand, so each pillow cost me $2.50. I'd call it a success! :)
Thank you for your visit!
