Latest Addiction: DIY Christmas Throw Pillows

Before I embarked on this project, my sofa throw pillows were hodge podge, at best. Seriously. One is a big square blue pillow that came from B’s last bedset, and the other is a crappy IKEA pillow that doesn’t even fill in the pillowcase. I’ve been progressively getting more irritated at seeing how awful they are.

I know doing pillow covers is so Sewing 101, but I never really paid attention to anything to home decor until recently. Since it’s the Christmas season, I thought having some awesome red and gold pillows would be festive! I followed this easy how-to to make these:

This project was 100% fun and gratifying because it took me around 40 minutes to make. All I had to do was choose fabric, trim, and the pillow form size. I swear I was so pleased with myself I kept hugging them. I foresee multiple sets for each season…If anyone knows of other easy home projects like this please let me know!
