Reversible Towel Apron

Ok, so while I'm in a blogging mood, here is another project I finished a few weeks ago. Again, suuuuper easy and cheap. I picked up these towels at Target on sale for $2.45 and then got to work on....



... this tutorial I found. I loved Shelley Detton's version of the reversible apron and would love to try it again with different material on each side. But for this first one I had enough material to make it reversible, but the same on both sides.
It was fun, quick and easy and I love how it turned out!

Love My New Felt Pillow!!



I am so loving my new felt pillow! I started the project a few months ago, and planned on doing it all by hand but then, our church decided to buy a sewing machine for a few projects and guess who gets to keep the machine between projects...yay!!! I am having so much fun with the machine and I'm finally getting around to finishing some of the projects I started forever ago. I sewed my first zipper today and it actually wasn't as hard as I thought it would be! I love the frills on the pillow and it was sooooo easy to make. Seriously!!! You really don't need a machine if you decide to not add a zipper and now I have a beautiful accent pillow that sits in my living room. For those of you who love fun, quick and easy and INEXPENSIVE projects, you are going to love this one! Here is a link to the tutorial that I followed. Who knew felt could look so good!!
