Look What I Made!

 

So I’m sure most of you have heard of Pinterest.com.  Well, I found this on there.

I thought these would be so great for movie watching and such things.  Or for rest time mats.  And then I got thinking today that Matty needs a mattress in his bed.  I’ve been using comforters folded in quarters.  Well, I had these old pillows laying around and getting in the way. (Jason needs a new pillow about every 6 months.)  And I have tonnes of pillowcases.  Instead of just sending them on to the second hand store, I whipped out my sewing machine and made one.

First thing I turned the pillow cases inside out.  OOPS !!  After I had it all sewn, and I went to turn them the right way, I realized it was not going to work!  The second pillow case was INSIDE the first one!  UGH!  So my sweet man took the seam ripper and the cases and removed my stitching.

I then started over.  All three cases are now together ….

So, I’ll be putting it in Matty’s bed for now.  And as I can, I’ll make more for movie nights!
