My closet is a disaster zone. I'm talking ground zero! It's so bad that I dropped a box of hats and scarves all over the floor and have yet to pick it all up. I just crawl over it to get to my drawers which are chock full of clothes that fit and even more clothes that don't fit. I am at the point where I need to pack away the maternity clothes, but have nowhere to store them. I came across a storage box sitting on my closet shelf. It contains two Ikea 20x20 pillow inserts that I bought about 3 years ago. I had intentions of making covers for them, but never got around to it.
Voila! A two-fer!
Not only do I get to start on my first project, but I also get to clean up my closet! It can't be any better than this :P Oh yes it can, my guy can clean up the closet leaving me time to work on my project. Makes sense as half of it is his. That will never happen, plus I'd never find my clothes.
Digging through my scraps of fabric I chose a brown faux silky fabric and a textured light pink fabric to match the colors in my living room (where the finished pillows will chill). The brown fabric was purchased from a remnant bin at Jo-Anns and the pink fabric is from Goodwill. That's right, stinky ass old fabric from the thrift store. Actually it's not stinky. It was just a curtain in its previous life, not underwear or anything gross. Therefore I am officially up-cycling it!
love my camio
