AW: I made pillows (PIP)...

MrsManning10MrsManning10
in Pregnant after a Loss

I had a lady make most of the baby bedding... blankets, changing pad cover, curtains, etc.  She gave me most of the stuff recently, and she had just a little bit of leftover fabric.

I got a wild hair and decided that I wanted to make something for the nursery... So, I decided on a decorative pillow.  Now, I have a sewing machine that I use here and there, but I haven't really made anything before.  I had to read online instructions on how to make them, but I think they actually turned out okay!!  The front side is the printed fabric and the back is a soft "minky" material.

Bonus picture: Here are the matching blankets... I didn't make these!!  I had a lady make them for me. :-)

Now if only the furniture would get here!

    Gorgeous! I can just imagine how soft the backs are! I got a sewing machine for Christmas with every intention of making a TON of stuff for the nursery... Here's hoping my ventures turn out as good as yours!

    WOW!  Those look fantastic!  Very professional.  My MIL bought me a $700 Husqvarna sewing machine and I haven't used it in about 2 years.  Embarrassed  I feel SO bad, because I was really getting into sewing..... oh well...  someday!

    Didn't mean to hijack.  Those are fabulous pillows, and I love the fabric; very elegant.

    Good luck!  I am sure you will do great... The pillows were actually not too hard, so I would recommend trying them.  Oh, and one thing if you aren't used to buying fabric.  Sign up for Joann Fabrics email alerts, and they will send you 40% and 50% off coupons that you can use for fabric.  The Joann's coupons are also accepted at Hancock fabrics... That way if you want to buy fabric, you get a BIG discount.  :-)

    Thanks!  (and you didn't hijack!!)  We aren't even doing a quilt or comforter, since they won't even get used... I just figured we can leave the blankets out and use those, plus they will be functional.  I am all about function!!

    Just beautiful - great job! You will feel a sense of pride each time you look at them and someday tell your LO mommy made them :) I give you a lot of credit for giving a shot on your own - I am terrified of all things crafty!

    Why can't I see them??? I checked this post from my phone yesterday and couldn't see them. I figured it was just cause it was some format not supported by my phone, but I came back to see them this morning on my computer and I still can't wee em. Sad

    That is really bizarre... I still see them, so there wasn't a link issue or anything that made them disappear... Hmm... I use photobucket for my pics.  Have you had trouble seeing photobucket pics before?  That is so weird.
