With all the newfound time on my hands lately and no desire to bring another thing into this house, I've been using what I've accumulated and sewing up a storm.
I've been making pillow covers for all the inserts I already have.
I wanted to bring in a little purple so I splurged a few months ago
and bought 1/2 yard of this soft stripe chenille.
and bought 1/2 yard of this soft stripe chenille.
It was $50 per yard, so I only used it on the front sides and used an ivory velvet remnant I already had for the backs. I was able to make two big squares and the one little lumbar pillow.
3 custom chenille/velvet pillows = $25
I also wanted to jump on the ikat bandwagon.
I bought 2 yards of this fabric online @ $17 per yard.
I've made three pillows so far and I have more fabric.

3 cutting edge ikat pillows = $30
I've had this stripe silk remnant for a few years. Finally put it to use by making a table skirt.
I can't remember how much it was, I'm thinking all in it cost $12.
I think I paid $3 per yard for this fabric.
I whipped up some curtain panels for the kitchen.
Two new curtain panels = $12
This last little stripe pillow (made with remnant piece) doesn't even really count
because I don't think it's staying.
I was trying to "man up" Matt's chair, but he doesn't really want any pillow.
I'm just kind of making up my patterns and plans as I go along.
Can you imagine what I could do if I actually knew how to sew?...
Next week I hope to show you my finished living room curtains w/ valances.
