Made Pillow Covers

A friend and I went over to my grandmas to learn how to sew and make pillow covers. I was able to find a fabric that matched my curtains almost perfectly- looks like pretty much the same fabric. I made 3 pillow cover with 12 dollars worth of fabric- they look great and I already had the pillows. Will probably go make more eventually once we got the hang of how to do it it was pretty easy although my grandma did most of the sewing. The rug I brought is a similar patter however has a white background instead of beige so won't put in this room because it would get so dirty- we have a red rug in there that works great because it doesn't show dirt.

New rug

It was 80 percent off and was 140 with tax free shipping. Probably shouldn't have brought it because will prob put in spare bedroom since it has a lot of white on it so don't want it to get dirty but I loved it and knew it wouldn't ever be that cheap again it is a 7'6 x 9'6, so I splurged. Although it sold out just when I brought it so hopefully they don't cancel the order.

update it go canceled- at least I didn't spend the 140 I guess
