i've been looking for new throw pillows for our couches in the living room for a really, really long time. i have looked online, in every store i could think of, and i've even looked at countless fabric stores... nothing.
e and i were shopping at tjmaxx last week and i was looking at beach towels for the summer. i was just about to give up when i saw these towels that i loved and had a "lightbulb moment". they are one of my favorite colors, and in fact, match our living room colors perfectly. what if i bought them and made pillow covers out of them? worth a shot, right? $12.99 per towel and i figured i could get 2 pillows from each. that's a steal at roughly $6/ pillow (i round down... helps me out with my cfo).
i called my mom for guidance, because i've never sewn anything other than rag quilts for baby gifts. we figured out the sizes and placement and i got to work. i have one pillow finished and will post pictures of the others when i'm finished with them.

i think it turned out rather nice. i'm off to get working on the others!
happy tuesday!
