Ode to the Pottery Barn Swedish House Pillows


Another step closer to my "holiday house" -- I sewed up two pillow covers out of two Pottery Barn Swedish House napkins last night....(backed with cheapie JoAnn Fabrics red fat quarters...which were not the exact right size....so please don't look too closely at the goofy seams!) The napkins were hemmed on all four sides...so I used that as my "flange," sewed the red right up to the hem, and stuffed some old square pillows inside. Such a deal, eh? Napkins were $6.50 each, fat quarters were on sale for 99 cents each. (Pottery Barn pillow covers are $29 each!) Cha-ching! I loves me a deal!

I am assuming you are in the throws of party planning and have squirreled away with piles of work?
