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
I bought another canvas the other day and thought I would attempt some pillow making.
EASY PEASY once again.
I started with this...
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.

Newbie party will begin Sunday evening.

| 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 must get busy.

Those cushions would go so perfectly in the bedroom makeover I'm planning!! They've turned out beautifully Debbie! I love the stencilling details too - enough to be interesting but not over the top, it looks really authentic! :-)
Hope you've had a lovely weekend!
Jem xXx

Hi Debbie- Those are some cute pillows! Have a great week! Linked some goodies to your party-thanks for hosting! =)
Debbie - These pillows turned out great! I don't claim to be handy, so I appreciate the step by step. Thanks again for hosting this weekly party. Have a great week. :)
Thank you for posting this. I don't sew either and I had never thought of using stitch witch for this. I have used it to hem curtains...i am going to have to start thinking outside the box! That pillow is wonderful...love the stenciling on it. Great job!!
I'm still trying to figure out sewing so this post is right up my alley. I must say it looks really pretty! I love it!
Dee
Debbie this is uber cool! I think this might be my favorite project you have done...are you going to start up an Etsy shop or stocking up on Christmas gifts for your friends? Love, Love, Love it!
Loving this pillow. The stenciling and red stripe are perfect.
Great post! I love the pillows. You are so clever!
So neat Debbie! You have so much inspiration! You have a lot of fun with your projects!
Wow Debbie, I am in love with your pillow, so cute! Where do you get all your energy? I hope you have a great week!
Hugz,
Kim
Thanks for reminding me about the stitch whitcher, I'd forgotten all about it, love your pillow! I'm not much of a sewer either!
Debbie you are kidding!! Only you can do that without sewing! That is the cutest pillow. Maybe I need to try stitch witchery instead of trying to locate the sewing machine! Hey we color people have to stick together, lol! I crave the blue wall color Pat at BPM has in her dining room, but I have nothing that color. Some day...
Love your pillows and love the fact that you didn't have to sew them even better. I'm linking up to the newbie party. Thanks so much for doing this!
GET OUT!!!! That is awesome! I would have never thought that wasn't a perfectly sewed pillow and I love the stenciling on it! You rock!
Debbie,
Adorable pillow and thanks for the invite to your newbie party!
I'm now another devoted follower:)
Thanks for hosting once again! I love your no-sew pillows. They really do look sewn!

That's very clever! I've seen bondaweb, but that just looks stuck down, your cushion really looks like it has a seam! The stencilling is great too. Have a lovely week x
Love the pillows you did a great job. Thanks for hosting the party! Hugs, Vicky

Holy Crow! You are crafty crazy!! These burlap pieces you have been making are all fabulous, but this pillow is amazing!!! You go girl!!
xxDaniella
Debbie! Your pillow looks great! You are so talented that I'll bet you would be a great seamstress with just a little bit of practice...especially to do straight seams like the pillow! However, this is wonderful for a non-sewn pillow! Great looking-artsy with Pottery Barn glam! A winner!!! xxoo Diana
I am a new follower! Thanks for the party... I need to make some new pillows to spruce up my outdoor sitting area, these are so cute!
The pillow looks great, I love it!!
Happy Monday Debbie - i love the pillow you made. Especially the stenciling.
Love the pillows! Thanks for hosting today!
Love your pillow, you did a great job of it! Thanks for hosting the Newbie party. This week my post is not on crafting or DIY projects, but I thought you might get a chuckle from it. Diane
Oops, sorry Debbie. I just re-read the guidelines :/
I think I was checking our your cute pillow, and got caught up in everyone's posts and just posted mine too....w/o reading the guidlines. I loved the pillow and I like that you have something for new for new bloggers! :)

Pattie
These pillows are so cool....I might need to do some of that kind of stenciling for pillows on my kitchen benches! Thanks for hosting the newbie party!
You always amaze me!! I LOVE THE pillow and the writing on it...Genius. HUGS
Wonderful pillow! Everything about it is lovely. I want to try this.

Hi Debbie,
Posting my delicious Strawberry soup since Spring is in the air. Love the pillow. I just got my first cricut. Look out, my wheels are turning and the craftiness is hopefully going to give me some good results. Thanks for another fun party.
Awesome pillow Debbie!!! I love it and I am going to have to get some stitch witchery stuff...thanks for an idea!
The pillow looks fabulous. Where did you buy the stencil and canvas? Cheers
Cute pillows! You did another great job, Debbie...Christine
Debbie, you are always so clever with your projects!
Love the pillow Debbie! That's my kind of sewing! I will have to add this to my to do list. I have a couple of pillows I want to make but the lack of a sewing machine was holding me back. I would love to make one similar to yours for the bench in my kitchen.
Thanks for the tutorial!
~ Tracy
What a cute pillow idea!
This blog hop is a good one also!
Thanks for hosting a "newbie" party...I'm still fairly new and I love meeting other bloggers!
Debbie this is so cool! I love the stencilling on the pillow and the fabric too!!! Great job for a non sewer!!
That pillow is just wonderful Debbie!
If you can do all that believe me, you could sew!
Very creative and would make a great addition to any home!
Hugs,
Cindy
I have been using Stitch Witchery for years. Why drag out the sewing machine when you can drag out the iron!
Love it! Thanks for the great tips!
Debbie, thanks for popping over and leaving a sweet comment! Makes my day. Thanks for havin' this newbie party for newbies like me!
Hugs,
Kim
Your pillow is sooo cute! I may just have to try one of these, thanks for showing.
