DECORATIVE PILLOWS!!!



So for the last 1 1/2 months I have been working on these pillows. Every time I go to the store, I always see way cute decorative pillows that I want to buy. I am always convinced that they will spruce up my apartment and make it look so much better, but they are always SO EXPENSIVE. So instead of paying $30/pillow I decided to find the pillows I loved and just copy the general idea. Morgan, believe it or not, contributed some of the greatest pointers for making these pillows look great. And thanks to makeit-loveit.com I was able to implement Morgan's great ideas :D I am a little over half way done. These are the two pillows completely done, and now I'm just waiting on Joann's to get the last two pieces I need....then there will be four beautiful decorative pillows. Each pillow I made is hand-embroidered with a unique design, hand stuffed by Morgan with feathers, and finished with a bias tape piping.
