DIY dishtowel pillow talk!

Must be the season of pillow talk! I made this DIY no sew dishtowel pillow some time ago, and forgot to share it!

Surprisingly enough, it still is in it's original place, when I show you, you will understand why I find this to be a surprise.

I loved the warm color and pattern of this dishtowel, and my intent was just to use it in the kitchen.

Then one fine sunny morning walking out of our bedroom, I realized the color scheme was the same as the pub room curtains...

sooooo....I whipped out my liquid glue stitch, folded the towel in half, stuffed it, ironed it,

and plopped it down on the chair.

I waited for Mike to notice it, and he of course did,because this is HIS man cave...

I said, I know, I know you hate it! 

He replied with, "well it's not my favorite" but it's not bad either...

That was In Novemeber, and it still sits in the very same place.

Lucy loves the man cave too!
{Mike actually took this picture of Lucy}
I did not know it until I uploaded my pictures one day..
I love this picture, she is so CUTE!

DIY pillows out of placemats NO SEW!

Some time ago a dear reader friend Peggy, gifted me some gorgeous placemats.
Peggy does not have a blog but she has a shop on line you can go check out.

I used them on our table for sometime.

Until one day my younger boy spilled some red juice all over them!
Fortunetly, I was able to clean it and the stain was removed. With that being said I removed them from the table.  Fabric and boys just do not go well together.  A few days ago I had a brain storm!

How about I make some pillows....

They would even look as though they were sewn....see the little stitching?

This project took me all of 10 minutes to whip out.

OOPS it is upside down, better go and flip it now!

The liquid stitch was fantastic to work with.  I stuffed the pillows with some stuffing I bought at Walmart.

It comes in a huge bag and is in the sewing section. 

So, if you ever see place mats, you should see them in a new light other than just for the table!

Calling all NEWBIES..party on

I can't sew for nothing!

Well,  let me retract that a tad, I can hem a pair of pants if I had to, thanks to my Mom showing me years ago.

I am in LOVE with stitch witchery, it truly is amazing stuff.

I showed you my painters tarp curtains

HERE and HERE...

I bought another canvas the other day and thought I would attempt some pillow making.

EASY PEASY once again.

I started with this...

I started with my square, which I used a slip cover from another pillow as my template Canvas came from Walmart, however you can get paint canvases of course at Home depot and Lowes as well.

I then used stencil tape  to create one wide stripe, then I painted it with a craft paint, you can  also see my kitchen recipe stencil I have taped here as well. STENCIL came from Hobby lobby.

As you can see, you would never know this was not hand or machine sewn.
  What I did after I stenciled is put my stenciled square face down on top of the one another with the stitch witchery at all but one end, I cut long strips to put across each end.

I took my iron and put it on steam and ironed across each section carefully.

I love how neat the stenciling came out too. I used a very small artist brush for the stenciling part and did my words  randomly

 I tied the bottoms with some twine as the pillow was too fat and I could not pull it together to use the stitch witchery.

From just one paint canvas, I could probably make 10 pillows.
I must get busy.
Thanks so much for stopping by and all your sweet bloggy love.
