many moons ago there was a sweet and happy pillow. he was made with much love and tenderness using the softest linen, some oh so cute red and aqua fabric, and accented with the sweetest little embroidered mushroom house. he was so loved by even the wee ones, that one day he got dirty. now he didn't look quite as lovely anymore being dirty, so he was given a bath. while in his bath the saddest thing happened, he started to come apart, and not just a little. he now looked like an old rag. for far too long this once sweet and happy pillow got set aside and forogotten. this made all the wee ones sad, as they missed their cute little pillow.
so one day the mrs. came along and trimmed a little here and trimmed a little there. after a little bit of extra love and attention he turned into a new bright and happy pillow for all the family to love again!! :)
the end!
see ya next week!
What a rescue Kerri!

ReplyDeletelove LOVE love this pillow! so happy you were able to make it oh so lovely once again :p
ReplyDeleteCute re-make! All the loving made it better : )
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I think I just read about linen fraying really easily so a half inch seam should be used when sewing. I'm not sure though, just one of those things that popped into my head when I read your post. I really like the blue though!
ReplyDeletetoo cute! i love the story and the new pillow!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Way to recycle it!

ReplyDeleteLovely save! That's a good lesson to serge linen edges or reduce stitch length to catch all of those fibres!
