This months challenge was to make something that could be used two ways. At first I thought I would make a reversible skirt for myself. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, I had to come up with something less time consuming.
Because, I have been working on making new pillow covers for our living room, I decided to make one for the challenge.
So here's what I came up with.
I made a piece pillow cover. I call it a double front pillow, because it doesn't really have a back. Both sides can be used as the front and are equally as cute.
I used the fabric scraps from Mindy Mae's Market straitened them up {full tutorial on that} and sewed them together.
If you are looking for a good exercise in creativity, this is it! It sure fun to pick out pieces that worked together out of the huge pile of scraps. It took a while to get them all lined up, but I'm glad I did.
Some of the fabric is upholstery fabric (very thick) I have never sewn on that type of fabric. I also used some new stitches on the edges of the flap.
It's my favorite pillow cover, by far. I LOVE all the fabrics and especially the little buttons! I'm sure you remember the drill from the last challenge. I will be begging for votes over the next month.
Thanks for stoppin' by and hangin' out.
I will be linking up to these fantastic parties.
WoooooHoooo I won 2nd place thanks for voting!

I love the fabric! This pillow cover is very cute, I wish I could sew this good!
A beautiful pillow, Kadie!!! Love the combination of fabrics; the colours, the patterns and the shapes of the pieces you've used.
Oh Kadie, this is truly gorgeous. I love the fabrics that you put together even though I wouldn't have thought they would go together. They look absolutely fabulous.

Kadie, I absolutely love these fabrics and how you have combined them. Gorgeous!!
Great project. Glad you're back. I couldn't get to your blog for a little while. It looks like maybe you were doing some construction. Great job.
Looks great!! The fabrics look fab together :)
Very cool! I love that it is 2 sided!
this is so cute! I have always wanted to try quilting but was too overwhelmed by the idea.. starting off small with a pillow seems a lot more reasonable! Thanks for the inspiration.. I am your newest follower! If you ever have time I would love for you to come check out my blog!
