It's my birthday, sew what?

From this

to this

Since I started showing an interest in sewing,
my husband felt I needed something
to make it easier.
He researched and got a new Bernette 66
for my birthday!
It has a pop in bobbin,
and a one-step button hole maker,
in addition to many other stitches.
I went to a sewing class last night to make
sure I knew all about my new machine.
I have been using it and loving it.

Thrifty Thursday

I have this body pillow that I have used for years.

The only problem is that the pillowcase is worn out.

It has a rip up the side that cannot be mended any more.

And it is covered with "pills"or little knots.

I knew it would probably cost alot to replace,

so I thought I might try to make one myself.

Then, this thought came to me.
I went to the Thrift Store and found two
twin size fitted sheets that looked like new.
I got two so that I would have a spare.
I paid less than $2 for each one.
I brought the material (sheets) home,
washed them, cut them out to size,
and sewed it.
Here's the first one!


I'm so excited to have a nice crisp, new pillowcase
for only $2.
