Pillow of Shame #1

I’m going to start by begging for mercy. Please don’t take away my “I have good decorating sense” card. I admittedly have lived with this as a decorative pillow for 3 years a while.

This (and another similar) pillow came into my life my senior year of college. My roommates’ old roommate had left them behind when he moved out. They were super comfortable so we kept them.

(My roommate Ryan passed out sleeping with the pillow)

When I moved out at the end of the year I took them with me. Never leave a pillow behind! And…it took me 3 years to finally sew a new cover.

I used the 10 Minute Pillow Cover tutorial from Alicia at Thrifty and Chic to sew a new cover. After I stuffed the pillow I decided it needed some pizzazz. So, I created a flower with the leftover fabric using the gathered flower tutorial from Emily at Jones Design Company.

I was going to use another color fabric for the flower, but I hyped up the flower color into "whatever color I pick is going to dictate the entire color scheme of the room." So I just took a chill pill and used the same fabric. I added a bling button to the center and voilà:

Fabric – Hobby Lobby ~$5

Button – Joann’s $1.75

Don't get too comfortble! One still remains...
