How to Make Pillows out of Flour Sack Towels
Yesterday I showed you how I dyed some flour sack towels. When I purchased them, I also purchased 5 {long and narrow} pillow forms. I put them together…and voila!:
Flour Sack Pillows! One has a Christmas greeting,
one has a pleated ruffle feature,
two have old fashioned “ticking stripes” {is that what they’re called??},
and one is just a big ol’ “No. 7”…just because I love having big ol’ numbers on pillows!
Each pillow used two towels. After I sewed them together, I sewed them using the same method I used when sewing the square pillows behind them. You can find the tutorial here.

Just came over to visit you from The Picket Fence. I adore your pillows! They look great all massed together too. I'm such a pillow addict. I wish I could make them like you, but I don't sew. I should really learn. Great inspiration!
Love, love your pilllows! They are precious!
I am a new friend and follower and am happy to meet you! Hope you will be too! I would be delighted for you to link up to Potpourri Friday!
So, so beautiful! I smiled when I saw the Christmas one…does this mean I can start listening to Christmas music? 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing your talent and creativity with us at Inspiration Friday this week!
