Two Pillows for $5.00 in under 30 Minutes!

I browsed through the clearance section at Home Goods and found some wonderful quilted place-mats. A set of four RECYCLED place-mats made from left over fresh fabric cuttings from India for $5.00.

I placed two place-mats together with the wrong sides together. Something about pinning I hate and I'm just a beginner when it comes to sewing so I skipped pinning thus saving me tons of time. I just sewed them .25" from the edge, knowing that what I'm sewing is the inside of the pillow so the wobbly stitch doesn't show too much.  I sewed three sides together and left the fourth open to fit the pillow form into. (SEE BELOW)

Stuff your pillow with old stuffing from an old boring pillow or you can also purchase a pillow form at any craft or fabric. I was lucky enough to have leftover stuffing and some muslin to make a pillow form at NO cost. Last step was to hand stitch the fourth edge close.

Then repeat all steps on the other two place mats. 

Then add it to the family of pillows you already have and wallah....a $5.00 set of beautiful pillows in under 30 minutes!
