Freshen Up Your Look

Christmas has long been put away....anyone know how to decorate for January?  Think about it....October has Fall and Halloween; November has Thanksgiving; December has Christmas and February has Valentine's day.  There is nothing for January.  It is a chilly, boring month (where I live it never really gets COLD).  I suppose you could do something with
National Spaghetti Day or Learn-Your-Name-in-Morse-Code Day.  Click HERE for a full list of days to celebrate in January.

Instead, I decided to freshen up my living space.  As I continue to go through shelves and drawers of quilting and craft stuff,
I came across a piece of fabric that was originally intended for a skirt.  Well, that never happened.

So I decided to make sofa pillow covers, instead.

After

I like 'em!  Cheery.

The cover is a simple, envelope style with no zipper.  I watched a YouTube video by Jann Newton.  It was fast.  It was easy. 
I used this same method to make pillow covers for Christmas.

These covers are so fast and easy, you could have a different set for every month of the year! 
April 24 is National Pigs-In-A-Blanket Day and I have just the fabric!

 

In case you are wondering....it is left over from a quilt I made my nephew, Wilbur, in December 2015.  He likes pigs.  
I'm Charlotte....he is Wilbur.....get it?

Happy Sewing!
