What self respecting fourteen year olds bedroom would be complete without a hand full of throw pillows? Taking all of the fabric choices into account I sat down and designed and created several cute throw pillows for Justice's bedroom. I can sew. However, I am not a seamstress. So in many cases things are not as elaborate as I'd like them to be. Simply because I lack the know how. But I think they turned out well.
Have you ever priced throw pillow inserts? If your buying just one it's not too bad. However, I needed several. So I picked some up at the
thrift store. I specifically looked for the kind with a zippered cover. This made cleaning them easier. I took the covers off and threw the pillow inserts into the washing machine and dryer. I paid $15.00 for a bag full. Some I didn't use. So they will get used in the boys room.

Justice has a little obsession with monkeys. So I thought I'd find a way to put a few monkeys into the design of her bedroom. I made this cute little guy to keep her company. I cut out the dark brown felt part in one piece. Then sewed the tan felt pieces on. Nana thought Justice would prefer googly eyes to felt eyes. So that is how I finished him up. Having been an art teacher Nana had tons of those on hand. The ribbon on this pillow I purchased at The Dollar Tree.

This patchwork pillow combines all the fabrics I'm using in this room design. The back has the same turquoise color as the monkey pillow.

I was so afraid of this round pillow. I just knew it was going to be impossible. I was shocked that it came out so well the first time.
