That's right, hubby. I know how to use a sewing machine.


My poor husband---I am always looking for ways to either 1. Add more pillows to our teeny tiny apartment. or 2. Sew new pillow cases, and replace the old ones. In this case, I didn't add any new pillows, I just wanted to redo the pillow cases I already had. I also say I'm going to stay about from green, but who am I kidding? Green is and always will be my favorite, and will most likely always be in my home. I had a lot of fun sewing these pillow cases. They aren't by any means the best sewing job in the world, but they will do, and I'll stand proud of them :] That's right husband, your wifey is a homemaker. I will continue to practice my sewing skills, and soon I'll have pillows back up on my Etsy account! Do you like the chevron print? I have a variety of colors, and that's the main pattern I plan on using for pillows to sell on my Etsy!

Thoughts? Opinions? Like? Dislike? Preference of color? Worth selling?

    The cevron one is great, chevron is a big trend right now so I think it'll be great for your etsy shop!
