How to Sew an Envelope Cushion Cover

One of the easiest beginner sewing projects is making pillows. How about making covers that can have the insert removed for easy cleaning and changing out for the different seasons, holidays or just a room makeover? The prettiest way to do this is by making an envelope style back for the cover.

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Making Valentine Cards

Valentine's Day is just around the corner so we need to get busy making on those Valentine's hearts. If you want to use up some of that stash of fabric you have here is a video from Missouri Quilt Company showing ways to use those scraps to make Valentine's,  that are cute and easy. This is a project you can have the kids help with too. :)

This looks pretty easy! Wish I would have seen this when my kids were at home. :)  Hope you have fun making these. 

Happy creating! 

Colleen :)
