My Little Rosette Pillow

I saw this post by Lindsay last week: DIY Rosette Embellished Pillow

and I remembered I had some leftover fabric somewhere from a pair of curtains
 I shortened from IKEA. I bought these curtains last year as a part of our room remodel
and I saved the fabric I cut off thinking I would love to make a matching pillow someday...

well I started sewing my pillow by hand and I am no seamstress but I've 

always loved sewing. I would love to buy a sewing machine some day. 

I went to walmart and bought some stuffing for my pillow 

and it's not perfect as you can see but I'm very proud of myself :)

The fabric is very thin so you can see the stuffing and I didn't think about

 this until I had sewn it shut. I thought it needed a little something so I went 

out and bought my first glue gun and followed Lindsay's Tutorial 

and I decided to add some rosettes to my pillow:

It was easy and it didn't take much time, I did it while the kids 

were eating breakfast :) and then I glued the rosettes on to my pillow 

using fabric glue and this is what it looks like now:

Again, it is not perfect but I like it! BTW I don't like our current bedding 

but we didn't have any bedding  just sheets and bedding was not part of our 

budget last year so I went to Target one day and found this set for $11!

Yup $11 for a King Comforter, 2 Pillow Shams and a Bedskirt. 

It's not my favorite but it will do until I find the perfect 

bedding and until we are done with the kitchen.
