Slowly but surely, Anna's nursery is coming to life! I'm about 99% done at this point but wanted to document some of the projects I have been working on lately. As soon as I got back from Midland, I couldn't put my sewing machine away and poor Keith had to listen to it for hours on end for many nights in a row. I wanted to make a couple cute pillows for the nursery and I had a bunch of leftover fabric from the bedding that I could put to good use. I found a really fun pillow pattern online and while it required a lot of sewing, I think it turned out really cute. I had to cut 24 strips of fabric, ruffle each one of them using a basting stitch and then stitch each strip onto the purple fabric. I always seem to find the most complex patterns...
Isn't it so cute?!
The finished product along with another pillow I made earlier. I even stitched the purple cording on the green pillow. I think my mom and grandmother are impressed! Thank you again for teaching me how to sew...now I just need to learn how to sew a zipper so I don't have to hand stitch the pillow after it is stuffed.
I tried my hand at making fabric flowers for this little pillow. It was super easy and I just attached them to the inside of the pillow with safety pins. This one sits in Anna's crib - more pictures of the almost finished nursery to follow!
