Over the past month or so, both of my local Walmart stores have had huge deliveries of new fabrics and other items for the craft department (including a whole new embroidery section...with every color of DMC thread you can imagine for just 30c a skein!!!!).
I have had my eye on this fabric since first seeing it...
...with visions of long floaty summer skirts to wear over my favorite cowboy boots...
But at $13 a yard, these dreams are destined to remain just that; DREAMS! I did however decide to splurge on 1 precious yard to make some fancy boutique-style cushion covers for my 2 naked pillow forms that have been laying around since my trip to IKEA...... nearly a year ago. I know....I KNOW!
So I purchased a yard of the white frills and some heavy duty brown floral fabric for the backing (a bargain from the clearance section for just $2.50 a Yard!) and these two pretties whipped up in no time...
Who the hell pays $90 for a cushion!
They are lovely! Not even someone with an acute cushion addiction would pay $90, especially not a Tightwad!

An acute cushion addiction Vs A cute cushion addiction.... now there's something to ponder... PT x
DeleteHi, Princess T, your mum asked me to pop by and say hello. 'Hello'. I certainly wouldn't pay all that money for a cushion. Your creations look very pretty. All the best with the new blog.
