Sew Good!

I had a groovy day, not only did I see a dog, I also caught an episode of Perry Mason, The Case of the Bigamist Spouse. I did some sewing and some arranging and some laundry. Talk about shocking. I must have seen a pack of dogs.

So here's the sewing love. I love this pillow so so so much ...

.. I have to have two photos of it. Because I love it. Since I bought that pear fabric I have been imagining a felt pear and it's even better than I thought. Pillows normally aren't my thing, too much figuring out stuff, but I just pulled out Elizabeth's book and her pillow construction instructions are very good. I even resisted the urge to call her and make her tell me how to do it. ( I could do it you know, I could MAKE her tell me.. just ask her.) But she'll appreciate me figuring it out more I think.

The back is nice as well. I have a new love affair with covered buttons. Now I just need to have Holly send me some of her jumbo 2 inch buttons. Those buttons are something else!

So I'm thrilled with pillow in case you're eyes have rolled so far back in your head you missed my ranting and raving. I'm thinking about some Japanese fabric I ordered from Kris. Now how cute will a pillow be with a fun little brown hedgehog on it be? Or a bag?

Crazy I know, but I'm totally inspired to make several fun projects now. And you know, that is just as good as seeing a dog.
