I've been wanting to paint my own pillowcase covers for a little while now, and the FREEZING COLD weather outside (-2 and snowing) has given me a little bit of free time indoors to attempt to make something cool.
I chose a neutral fabric for the actual pillowcase and cut out my "print" of a tree and leaves. I took the print, generously painted all over it, and then printed it onto the pillow!
Voila!
I let them dry for a bit.... and hand painted a few ghetto areas that didn't print amazingly...
And then I hand sewed and stuffed it! My first pillow EVER! yay. And it already made some pillow friends!
Since I already had an epic fail of a bike ride today: numb hands and feet, sore face from hail-snow whipping me, and being so frozen that I had to turn around...I think that I will spiff up a couple of white shirts I have sitting around! Yay for terrible weather and arts and crafts and COFFEE.
Nice pillow covers. Perhaps you should go into fabric design in your next career. You obviously have spring and leaves on your mind. It is 27 C here and humid, so I put on the AC.
