So, I made these pillows to go on our bed.

Only, I made them in TN...where I was far away from my bed...where I forgot that we took our heavy bedspread off the bed for the summer, and now have a dark blue blanket showing. So they don't really match much, except with our large decorative pillows.
So I made this dark blue pillow...which is really cute, and matches the blanket really well...but the pillows not so much. I didn't realize that the white would clash so badly.

Not wanting to waste or ruin that pillow, I made an envelope case for it out of this material...I'm not sure what it is (if someone wants to tell me, that would be great). I was really proud of myself for getting the dimensions just right for the pillow I'd already made. The only hiccup was that I mean for the small flap to overlap on top...oh well.

I got this material as a remnant that was on a smokin' sale at JoAnn's (for less than $2). I had plenty leftover to make second pillow, and still have some left.

I really love how they turned out. But here's the thing...
they actually go with the green pillows pretty well.

Great pillows, I am following you and will be back to take a really good look at all your projects.
Your pillows are so cute! Way of overcome an obstacle and make something even better then you planned. Good for you!
I really like that white material. Very pretty!
The trend these days is NOT to match, so I think it looks nice!
