Make Do March 2: Pillows!


Our church held a charity auction recently for a home for women and children who are recovering from abuse, and need help starting over. I was asked to make some things for the auction. I donated some mittens and such, but I had some pillow forms that I had had forever. They needed to be used!
So I looked through my stash and found some blues that went together. I sewed them diagonally and cut them into a square.

I used the tan fabric below for the back.

I had two sizes...large and small. But I forgot to take pictures...oops! This is the smaller one before I sewed up the sides.
The auction was a success! They made a lot of money for the organization, and the auction was fun!

Have you made anything out of your stash recently?

Make Do March day 12: pretty pillowcase and LINK UP!!!!

We've been busy making do...how about you? I made a rhyme and didn't even mean it....anybody want a peanut? hehehehe
I made this dress a few days ago out of a pillowcase that I found at Value Village...I thought it was super cute and vintagy. I added some ruffles and used some bias tape and voila...a dress. It is intended for my niece in Michigan, but I think it may be HUGE! I'm gonna send it to my mom and she's gonna try it out on her....and take a picture. When I get the picture I will definitely update.
