Tea Towel Pillow

A few weeks ago I came across two tea towels at the thrift store.

They were only a quarter apiece.

I don't often come across cute tea towels in my secondhand shopping,

so I was delighted when I found them.

  

 

I knew right away that these fellas would become a pillow.

 

I started by sewing the lace along the edge of one of the towels.

Then I laid the towels face to face with the lace sandwiched in between them and ran them through my sewing machine.

I left about a four inch gap so that I could turn the towels right side out and fill them with stuffing.

I finished off the pillow by hand sewing the gap closed.

 

The tea towels are large, so the pillow ended up being the size of a regular pillow.

 

 

The words say Bon Buni Cucacao- not for sure what area the map is featuring,

but I think it turned out pretty cute.

It will join all the other pillows on my door couch.

 

Pillows are such a simple sewing project.

Now that I've made several, I may be ready to move on to a more complicated sewing project. . .

 

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

 

When a man's ways please the Lord,

He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
