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.

High Sierra Hike

The Sierra Nevada Mountain range is one of the most beautiful places to take a day hike. There are so many awesome things to experience and the scenery is so gorgeous! Please enjoy the relaxing video above of a Sierra mountain stream that we crossed while on one of our day hikes there. We also panned for gold in the same stream.

An abandoned mountain cabin not far from the stream. It was beautiful, but I suspect the occupants were a little nervous about the natives.

Fresh evidence left next to the cabin by the natives. Yes, it's bear do do. Time to get back across the stream and back to the vehicle. Oh, did I mention...remember to take your bear spray and other protection.

Sardine Lake, CA

On the way home we stopped by this serene mountain lake just long enough for me to take a quick photo. I had 5 minutes to set up my tripod, camera and get the shot. Amazingly, it turned out to be one of my best photograph's ever.

Sage brush along the highway home. In the autumn they bloom full of small yellow flowers.  Very pretty to look at but not to breath for those many people who suffer from allergies.

All in all, we had a great day hiking in the High Sierra Nevada Mountains. Hope you enjoyed the slideshow!
