While I thoroughly enjoy the tedious sewing of a quilt, this project was simple and refreshing. When Ruby Star Society first released their chore coat toweling, I was intrigued, but the yardage never made it further than my shopping cart on Etsy until this month.
These are rather simple to make if you have the patience to learn how to put in a zipper. If you don’t want to tackle the zipper, try an envelope pillow cover instead.
How do you sew a pillow cover with a zipper? Here’s a tutorial.
My sister said she read that we should all be changing out our pillow covers to white linen right now. Spring is here and summer is right around the corner, and we need to freshen up our decor. 🙂

I’m stepping out on a limb and trying a new product. It’s a completely different price point, and it’s a completely different level of time commitment.
Something small. Something quick and whimsy. Something just to make them smile. I’ve seen fabric postage stamps for years, but I had no reason to take the time to make them until now. They’re fun and quick and simple.
As we all know, anyone who can sew is making masks. A couple months ago, I made a few masks for family members. I made a pleated mask. Maybe I should say, ‘I ATTEMPTED to sew a mask.’ My sewing machine cannot go through pleats well. It just can’t chew through that many layers of fabric well. The stitch doesn’t stay a consistent length, and I have to pull and tug a bit to get my machine to stitch through the pleats.
I have four children right now. They are seven, five, three, and three months. A couple years ago, I finished an economy block quilt for my seven year old. I have sewn zero quilts for my other children.
Do you like the fabrics in this pillow? Unfortunately most of these well loved fabrics are no longer available for purchase. All of these prints were done by the ladies of Ruby Star Society.
Sewing a triangle quilt was actually one of my very first quilt projects. It was an extremely frustrating project. I hadn’t done any research at all. I ran across a quilt that inspired me to make a triangle quilt. I went to Jo-Ann’s and bought a triangle ruler. I went home and started sewing.
A couple weeks ago I purchased a variety of 1/4 yards of jersey knit fabric. Since these were not fat quarters, they are pretty narrow strips of fabric. They are only nine or ten inches wide. My options for creations were limited because of this.
I originally bought the fabric to make a few headbands for our new baby girl.
So I made a handful of headbands and though, ‘now what?’
So here’s a project I’ve never done before. A good friend found this embroidery project at a second hand store months. She asked if I could turn it into a pillow.
Here’s how I turned this vintage embroidery project into a pillow cover.
If you are looking for a quilt to snuggle or a quilt that’s warm to the touch as soon as you pick it up, this is it.
It’s soft, cozy, fluffy, and warm.
