Years ago I learned how to crochet with plastic grocery bags. Each of the granddaughters then got a Barbie dress made out of grocery sacks. They are cute, but a little see through LOL I actually wouldn't mind making more of these, but I will figure out how to put maybe a different colored bag inside as a lining!
I actually won the purple pillow in a giveaway at an online party, which gave me the idea to make the brown one.
This was before I owned a sewing machine, but pillows are one of the easiest things to make. I actually stuffed these with filling. It is better to use a pillow form. I have been fortunate as of late to find pillow forms at yard sales. They aren't too cheap to buy them at the store, which makes the pillow too expensive for me to make.
We still have this. It's on the entertainment center with the TV and sound bar sitting on it.
It's a good feeling to see something that I made still in use.
Will you be making any crafts for gifts this year? I am in the middle of making quite a few things right now, that eventually I will share once I get through the older gifts.
