Who knew that pillow making could be so enjoyable? This morning I woke up and my hands were itching to "be sewn." Fashion pun alert haha. I used my bandanna fabric from last night and attempted to make a small pillow. I totally failed and it look bad, not to mention that I stuffed it with tissues which was stupid. I tried to do another pillow and there was this sticky tape stuff that my sewing machine hated and refused to sew. I kept on forcing it to sew until the needle bent. My mother wasn't very happy about that, but good thing that the box had a few spares just in case that happened. Advice to the people, just because you can sew in a straight line like a pro, does NOT mean that you can suddenly go crazy with your fabric. I made the red pillows out of an old t shirt that my friend Emma got me from Canada as a present (sorry Emma.) By the end of making this Canada mini pillow set, the whole entire shirt was used up and I think I did a fantastic job. I had spent all morning sewing seams and measuring the fabric. I had a lot of fun and I thought that I had created a very stress relief environment. For a beginner I think that I can catch up very quickly which is so promising. In the book Sew Zoey the first thing she did was create a pillow as well. I haven't actually used the fabric that I was going to make the REAL pillows with, but so far everything looks good and I think that the fabric I will use for my upcoming pillows will look very cute. Also, I think that next time if I just go to a thrift store and get an Xtra Large shirt made out of cool fabric from Goodwill I can make some cool stuff. Another thing I am planning tot do is buy a skirt that fits me well from Goodwill and then buy a bunch of ties and then sew them onto my skirt to create a tie skirt! How cool would that be? Practice makes perfect!
