New Pillows

I'm always one of those shoppers who hits the clearance racks first.  50% off?  Pfffft.  I don't even consider buying unless it's at least 75.  The other day I was at Kohls with coupon in hand and the promise of Kohls cash back when I spied these pretty placemats.

They were part of the St. Nicholas Square holiday collection and were 80% off, but there were only 2 and I never set a table for less than 6(there are only 4 of us, but the dining table looks lonely with only 4 chairs, even with all the leaves out.)  Still they were very pretty and marked down to $1.59 each.  With my 20% coupon, that brought them down to $1.27 each.  They went into the cart and once I got home, I ripped out one of the side seams, and grabbed some Poly-fil from my craft room to stuff the placemats.

A simple slip stitch closed up the open seams.

Voila!  Easy throw pillow.  I love that the silver ties in with the wingback chair that I covered here.

Easy, peasy new throw pillows.

Thanks for popping in and sewing with me.
