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.

Skirt and pocket softies.

There is an amazing blog called Filth Wizardry, it is a mom of two little girls and all the fun crafts and stuff they do. This is a copy of some skirts she made her girls with pocket softies sewn into the pocket.

Katie actually got this as a dress but the top didn't fit to well so I cut the top off and made a skirt. I used lady bugs from the top part to make the pocket softies.
