One Grain Sack... Two Pillows

Hello friends,
I bought this grain sack at a yard sale awhile ago. I had It put away, and I wasn't sure what I would do with It. I decided I would use It to make some pillows for the sofa. It was only $3.00. The only trouble was It had a stain on It. I figured I would take a chance, and wash It with some bleach. I didn't think the stain would ever come out, but It did!! It was just big enough to make two pillows.



I'm happy the white slipcovers are back!! The other two pillows I bought at marshalls a few weeks ago. I wanted a pop of color.


I like the stripes! 


  
I just cut the grain sack in half, and turned It inside out so you couldn't see the stamp. I had to do It that way or there would only be half a stamp on each pillow. The stripes were just as visible on the inside. 

Have a great weekend!!

I followed your link from your Cabin and Cottage comment, feeling a little like a blog stalker. I'm so glad I did, though, because it's love at first sight for your blog! Your photos are gorgeous! Love your pillows, love your white slipcovers, love your sideboard glaze. And I'm just getting started! I will enjoy following you and seeing more, and I promise, I won't blog stalk you. :)
