Got some new wellies at Target yesterday! I like wearing rain boots all the time, not just when it's pouring outside.. I think they're so fun :)
I've been trying VERY hard lately to polish the rough edges on my sewing skills, so the other day I attempted to make a pillow from an old Frank Sinatra shirt that doesn't fit me anymore. The sewing part actually went very smoothly (no bobbin jams or anything! super!) but I'm not very good at stuffing.. it's kind of lumpy. And my mom needs to teach me how to discreetly hand-sew the part that remains open for stuffing... but other than that, I'm really happy with it! Here's the finished product!

ooh! i have those wellies! funny story: bought 'em because of the wild rain that was supposed to show up one day, wore them proudly (in Austin, where everyone else was dressed in all black) and it never came. oh well. love em!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I LOVE THAT PILLOW. Seriously. I want it! Great job! :-D
OOH those wellies!!
The pillow looks LOVELY! I think it's a great idea for recycling something that doesn't fit anymore!
One alternative to hand stuffing is buying a pillow form. You can get them pretty inexpensively in Joann's and some Walmarts. They are just a blank white stuffed shape that you can push into your cover. :)
I'm sorry, but wouldn't DB be jealous?
