Yawn

If i make it through this, it will be a miracle...Since Wednesday i have been working till the wee hours in the morning basically trying to remodel an entire house and get it done in a month...we have basically gutted the entire house..So far I have my bed room done, which i painted and tore out the carpet, sanded the wood floors and painted them white, and added new lighting.. yesterday i tore out the carpet in the upstairs hallway and plan on restoring the wood flooring in there as well.. I got the living room painted and Matt has built an entire subfloor on top of it so we can put pergo in the living room because the floor was so uneven it would have not worked (I dont know what i would do w/o him!!) ...I have gone through 10 gallons of paint already!! Lots more to be done.... I just cant wait for it to be done and when i get to unpack all my stuff and find where to put it...I thought this is a cool idea on how to use your old scarves..I have so many that I love but yet never wear...

Got this one off of designsponge.comsilk scarf pillow

silk silk scarf pillow pillow

here’s what you’ll need:
scarf
double-sided fusible interfacing
backing fabric (around 1 1/4 yards for an 18” pillow)
pillow insert
sewing machine
iron
thread

1. if your scarf is thin, (i.e. silk) fuse it to a piece of fabric with double-sided fusible interfacing and an iron, to give it extra strength before sewing.
2. for the envelope style backing, cut out two squares of your backing fabric that are 1” longer than your pillow and wide enough so that they will overlap by 2 to 3 inches after you’ve sewn a 1” hem along one side.
3. overlap the two pieces and pin together so they create a square that is 1” larger than your pillow insert all the way around.
4. with right sides together, stitch the top scarf piece to the envelope pillow backing all the way around using a 1/2” seam allowance.
5. turn right side out, press and insert your pillow.
