Denim Pillow Covers

We've needed pillows for our couch and chair for a long time. I had gotten some pillow forms from amazon but we didn't have money to go buy fabric. So what did I do, I gathered some of our old jeans that I've been saving in case I ever want to make a denim quilt and made pillow covers.
The pocket side

 I used one pair of jeans per pillow so that the wash of the denim would all be the same. I also made sure each pillow had a pocket.

The other side


The first two are made from Johns old jeans and the last one from mine. I really like how they turned out, and the fabric was cheap as free Yay!


This is how I like them placed on our couch and chair.
They are rarely there usually a child has tossed them to the ground.

Fabric Recycling: A suit for Jack

My Nephew, Jack turned 1 at the end of July and I had seen this cute idea to attach a vest to a onsie. My dad had an old pair of dress pants he was getting rid of so I used them to make this cute outfit. The vest idea was from B is for Boy and the Pants are the Kid Pants tutorial from Made I just sized them down a bit although they ended up a bit long.



Jack in his suit. What a handsome little guy!
