DIY: Pillows

I got a sewing/embroidery (monogram everything) machine last year for Christmas! I made a few things on my own (Pinterest is the best!) and with some help from my mom. But my sister encouraged me to find a place to take some sewing lessons - so I did.

The first thing we learned after the basics was how to make a pillow. The hardest part was making the cording (edging) on the pillow. But after making a practice pillow in class, I decided to make them on my own.

My mom loves decorating for practically every holiday, so I made these cute pillows for her for the Fourth of July. Who needs Pottery Barn?!? (yes, I monogrammed them as well)
