I am a frugal sewer and often find things that the thrift store that I can use. I made 5 pillows from one twin thrifted sheet. Three are here.

Very attractive pillows. I really like your different patterns. I especially like the birds and the heart.

Really nicely done. I need some new fresh pillows for my front room. Hope you don't mind my "borrowing" some of your ideas. Especially like #2 and it will be easy to incorporate the rooms colors.

Thank you for all your kind words. You all are so nice. I'm trying to think what questions were asked. Sorry-sometimes I have pre-senior moments and can't recall things. Ok. Maybe I am already old enough to have a senior moment. Don't rub it in. :) The embroidery designs are from Urban Threads. Of course steal my pillow design - I would love that. If you have questions how I made, just ask.
