I had to laugh while reading your post as I feel the same way - mum made all my clothes as a kid but I hate sewing. But, I have to wonder at the price of the glue you used- seems very expensive for a small tube. I think I will test and try to find something less expensive.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00289582997887049144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-77398203025904837312015-01-14T19:33:23.406-05:002015-01-14T19:33:23.406-05:00Great Tutorial!!!!!!

Would I be able to use the old pillows as my inserts? They are 24x24, so new inserts would be pricey. The current fabric is a little dark, so I'm worried the old colors may show through the new fabric. Any ideas? Thank you for your help and your wonderful blog!Jessica Sluyterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03143051777519854256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-45988202964789991722014-07-27T12:54:45.579-04:002014-07-27T12:54:45.579-04:00Where do you get your fabrics as seen in this pill...Where do you get your fabrics as seen in this pillow tutorial?

I was so excited to try it that I took a trip to Hobby Lobby and Joann's today after work and am now sitting next to a very glued no sew envelope pillow of my own! Thank you so much for this tutorial because I too have an aversion to the sewing machine-despite both of my parents being proficient in it's mastery!

Your tutorials are amazing & I love your style! I commend you for keeping things truly low cost and I am so excited to paint my ugly maroon shower tiles & my 80's fruit tiled kitchen backsplash after seeing how great your tile countertop in your kitchen turned out. I was also wondering about tips or links for buying or making inserts for throw pillows. I know you said in your tutorial you like to use down alternative, but do you have a certain store you buy them inexpensively?<br />thanks again,<br />KateKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11809998624404217321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-38154735576426985232014-01-10T03:23:34.439-05:002014-01-10T03:23:34.439-05:00HI!

I get so frustrated by blogs that show off amazing DIY things and redecorating ideas that are still too, too expensive for a newlywed couple. And I really really can't sew, even though my mother also made many of my clothes when I was growing up (as the only daughter, I was her doll, haha). So your blog is a lifesaver and your cushion tutorial is amazing because I've been dying to buy more cushions for our sofa and they're just TOO PRICY! Anyway, I've probably drooled enough so to my point! I followed your link to the velvet throw pillows and WOW, so I was wondering if you have any links/tips for buying/making inserts for throw pillows. Thanks so much!!<br /><br />xoxoSaosanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04828386043572265226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-91441895439291456432014-01-04T19:32:57.024-05:002014-01-04T19:32:57.024-05:00So cute!

I also hate the word bobbin and I'm sure if they could talk they would tell you they hate me even more. <br /><br />My mother also made beautiful clothes for me growing up but I have neither the patience or skill. I keep thinking of taking a sewing class and maybe I should, just to show those sewing machines who is the boss.
