I absolutely love paisley right now, so I thought this green fabric was a great way to incorporate a little color to our shades-of-brown bedspread.
I love the way they turned out, and they were super easy to make. I'm very excited to keep sewing, and learn more.
I made these on my grandmother's old, but steady machine.
This evening Husband, who is wise in the way of machinery, helped me set it up, and together we figured out how to get it threaded. Of course it helped that it came with an instructional dvd. Anyway, I'm excited about the possibilities.

And in support of my new-found excitement for sewing, my mother (who has been waiting approximately 20 years for me to take an interest) bought me a Singer Curvy sewing machine (it was on a great sale at Jo-Ann's).

Well, welcome to the sewing world :)
Your pillows turned out great! Love the fabric you used!
I love the fabric you chose for your pillows. You should come by my blog and check out my dinosaur of a sewing machine. I talk about it in the post "Her Inner Baby Jane."
That is so great that your mom got you a new sewing machine! Great job on the pillows. Sewing is addictive, be careful! =)
