Pillow Cover

My husband ran Ragnar last weekend, so he was going to be gone for a couple of days. Whenever he is out of town, I like to come up with some projects to keep me busy. One of my projects this time was a pillow cover. I found a pattern that I liked at one little rayndrop. Her pattern was for a different sized pillow than I had, but I figured I could adjust.

I ended up making my cover too tall. The ends were supposed to meet at the top of the pillow, but mine overlapped by quite a bit. I decided to just pull the top over and put the buttons down a little lower. I actually like how it turned out, and maybe prefer to have them down a little instead of right on the top.

Another project I had was to cover a lamp shade for the lamp in our living room. You can see it on the table in this picture.
