While decorating for the holidays\u00a0this year I looked around and realized that my couch pillows were not very festive and in some rooms the color combinations even clashed (oh the horror!)<\/em>. I contemplated purchasing a few new ones for the season… and by a few, I tallied that I would need about 11 pillows to satisfy by design craving. However, after a quick stroll down the pillow section at the store and a thorough scan online, I\u00a0realized I’d be investing a small fortune. Additionally, I discovered that this would mean finding a location to store\u00a0these 11 pillows throughout the remainder of the year. That’s when I decided I needed to learn how to make a pillow cover.<\/p>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

I went to the local craft store, purchased flannel\/plaid\u00a0print and linen fabric, a few select pieces of felt, buttons and bells. I came home, began measuring\/cutting\/sewing\u00a0and a couple of days later (factor in the time caring for a curious toddler and infant took away from the project) and all 11 pillows were covered and festive as planned! The best part?!\u00a0I spent a mere fraction of what I would have had I purchased the covers or pillows outright.<\/p>\n
