I was asked to make a few things for a client that happens to be a friend of mine. She has moved into a new home and needs curtains, pillows, bed skirt.
She found a bolt of fabric and pillows that will make wonderful items for a fraction of the cost of new. Sara has that knack and is quite the decorator. I have always admired her ability to take virtually nothing and turn her home into a show place.
I just may have to showcase her home when she has finished moving in.
This is her fabric and it is quite pretty
Bolt of fabric a fun thing to have if you sew!

My notes and her small pillow form..which is a feather/down pillow
She found this for $2 a steal and it is in excellent shape.
This will be a small accent pillow
She didn't really want a piping around the edge but it just calls for piping.
So I added it for a sharp tailored edge.

She wanted ruffles so I made this to show her.
(I wanted pleats, yes, I know it it her pillow but sometimes just have to make other to show a choice...well, don't I?)
Working on 2" pleats.

Finished pillow with pleats
She loves it!!! So I will make the other in the same way.
I was going to get better pictures but she took them home right away.
Glad she liked them.
I will have to show her home when finished.

Next up lined window curtains for the bed and bath
Then bed skirt
A personal note* I lost my Mama a little over a week ago and my heart is so broken. I know she is in a better place, I really do and that is what gets me through. I thank our Lord and Savior for his promise and I will see her again. Thank you all for your prayers.
