Make Use of It

I’ve been holding on to the grain sack

that I just adore

sadly - it was split down the side

I thought I might want to use it as a pillow cover or on a bulletin board or to make a sewing machine cover…

but because I hadn’t decided what to do with it

it was just sitting

unused

and

unloved

well enough of that!!

Since I adore it so much
I want to use it and see it!

so I washed her up

pinned her right sides together

sewed her up three sides

clipped the corners (this part actually hurt a little

but no going back)

popped in an extra pillow form

stitched up the top

And now I have a pillow that I adore

usable and loved

and

functional to boot!

 

 

all the purging organizing that I’ve been doing as of late has unearthed some items that I truly love but were tucked away for

someday

rather than saving it for a future maybe project – I’ve decided to

Use it now!

so little chickees –
I urge you to go through your “someday pile” and make something

for

TODAY!

Chat soon -

p.s. this post was inspired by the lovely blog here.  She is also helping me with tracking down some of these… My husband’s grandfather worked in a flour mill for 60+ years (can you imagine one job working 6 days a week for 60 years – wow!)  He sewed the flour sacks closed all those years…so I am on the hunt for King Midas Flour sacks for a special project that will have very very special meaning!  If you uncover any – please let me know!
