How to Make Envelope Style Throw Pillow Covers

Have you ever wondered how you can quickly and easily change your home decor in minutes without spending a bunch of money in the process?

Well, PILLOWS are the  perfect answer to that question. Did you know that a room can take on a whole new look   simply by changing the pillows or by covering them with a different cover?

I personally prefer to have  a variety of pillow covers sewn and ready to go whenever I get the urge to redecorate. Using leftover remnants of fabric that I may have from other projects or sometimes from a new piece of designer fabric, I skillfully  whip up a new cover or pillow in minutes.

Sew or no sew, a fashionable pillow cover can be created in an hour or less and ready to slip onto your pillows or on pillow inserts. You can either sew the seams together on the cover or secure them with iron-on tape. Whichever option you choose, you will have a new pillow cover quickly and easily all in about 1 hours time.

Sewing and designing pillows and pillow covers are a favorite hobby of mine, so several years ago I began  sharing  my e-patterns with others via  my Etsy.com Shop...Unique Cozy Treasures.  If you are looking for some great pillow cover patterns or ready made pillows feel free to browse my shop at:

https://etsy.com/shop/uniquecozytreasures    

There, you will find a variety of easy pillow cover e-patterns that you can use to sew or no sew an endless amount of pillow covers. The e-files are in Adobe PDF format that  instantly download to your computer or any device that supports Adober Reader.

There are also a variety of  ready made pillows available in my shop, as well as, many rare vintage finds,  handmade and other items.


Comments left by my fans:

......."Thanks so much for the pattern. I am looking forward to using it."

...."Just love the pattern!"

....."PDF came through beautifully. Thank You!"

....."Easy pattern, well written. Done in an hour or less! Pattern was delivered quickly!"

How To Add Pin it Button In Blogger

                                             

With Pinterest being the fastest growing of the social networks seeing an average of 11 million visits per week, it's easy to understand why many bloggers are wondering how they can add a  PIN IT button to their blog.  Getting your blog posts pinned is a great way to boost views to your blog so that a greater number of readers can benefit from your blog's  content.

Here is an easy code that you can use for adding a PIN IT Widget Button on your blog in Blogger:


<a href='javascript:void(run_pinmarklet1())'><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigWBzQbClyFJ96nwXB5HjQeTyJURUzuEEkQZ7lf90y0D-aXv2pYpgtY-m3ZAE8qZABYYtikzh7k_XmQ_E0KQSY1KoackACGV68IrEbrL43bvZbgJ_mFdWn5j-zEMyHKZ_6xmNI-DIY7vP9/s1600/pinmask2.png" style='margin:0; padding:0; border:none;'/></a> 
<script type='text/javascript'> 
function run_pinmarklet1() { 
var e=document.createElement('script'); 
e.setAttribute('type','text/javascript'); 
e.setAttribute('charset','UTF-8'); 
e.setAttribute('src','http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r='+Math.random()*99999999); 
document.body.appendChild(e); 

</script>


Simply "Copy"  the above code, go to the "Design" feature in Blogger, Select  "Add a Gadget", then Select "HTML/JavaScript",  then simply paste the code in. Save. From the "Design" feature in Blogger you can move the widget button to any area in your blog that you would like it to appear.

HAPPY PINNING!
