New Header #2

Hello friends!

The title is pretty self-explanatory; I made a new header using Canva!

Here it is:

I'm just obsessed with sweaters and I took that picture in an antique store in Dahlonega, GA over fall break.

Yay :)

Thank you for being awesome.

Cat Pillow

Hello friends!

It's been awhile.

So, this past weekend was my fall break and I had time to work on some things that have been piled up in my room.

One of which is this awesome, yet kind of weird, cat pillow:

I just really like cats, okay....

It's the first pillow I've made and I kind of just went for something kind of strange/humorous just in case I really messed up (which, honestly, it's a pillow... it's probably the easiest thing you could possibly sew) however, here's the "how-to" I followed, and here's how I did it:

^^
I went and bought the pillow insert, the cat fabric and the khaki fabric.

Hey, we're not creepy or anything.

^^
Then, I measured/cut how much fabric I needed to cover the pillow, but not so much that it was super loose.
(I think my pillow was 16x16" or something... I can't remember now.)

For the back, you'll need to cut two pieces of fabric, equaling just a little bit longer than the front piece in total. (That way they can overlap each other without the pillow insert showing.

Then, I checked to make sure the edges lined up pretty well.

On the two back pieces, I creased, ironed, and pinned one of the longer edges to create a finished seam.

After that, I sewed the seams.

^^^
This is what the seams look like before I actually sewed the pillow together.

I laid the front piece face up and then laid the back pieces face down on top of the front piece to pin them. (At this point, the pillow hasn't been sewn, but it's still "inside out.")

Then I sewed along the pinned edges (leaving the middle open.)

Here's the cover without the pillow.

:) Finished: 

Thank you for being awesome.
