New life to a pillow

Make an old pillow new again.  You can either take it a part or recover it.  I took this one a part and used the stuffing.

Next pin the 2 pieces together.  Put the 'right/pretty' sides together.  Stitch on 3 of the 4 sides (you are leaving 1 side open for turning it inside out and to fill with stuffing).


Measure it and allow for seams.  Now that you have the front and back pieces, decorate them and bling them up!  I used the 'S' from Planet Applique's GiGi alphabet.   If you don't own an embroidery machine there are alot of fun iron-ons at Hobby Lobby.

It's now ready for some stuffing!


After the stuffing comes the final stitching and you're done....
