Mid-week update
It is already Wednesday and I feel like this week is just flying by. I have been working away on some new things so in the meantime, I will not be posting as often. Eventually, all of these things will lead to a better blog and site content but in the meantime please stick with me 
I did want to share with you all a little quick tip on Pillow covers. This week I have been making some pillows for our daybed (tutorial to come in a later post) but I wanted to give a little tip first about an easy way to save some money on pillows.
As you can see here I have an old pillow and the trim is falling apart and looking very sad.
I did a little investigating with my seam ripper and some scissors to verify if this pillow was stuffed with Batting/filler, or a pillow insert. To my delight, it was a pillow insert with all its filling (feathers, batting,etc) self contained.
I then went at the seam and continued to rip it apart in order to take the pillow insert out and Ta-Da!! I have saved a pillow and now can recover it with the fabric of my choice!! This pillow would have ended up a the local thrift store otherwise.
When I make pillow covers I always put a Invisible zipper in which allows me to change out the covers for each season or whenever I choose. This takes a little extra time and money but in the end it is worth it.
What my dining room table looks like:
More on all my pillow covers later and how a Shower Curtain gave me the inspiration I was lacking.
