SIMPLE PILLOW SHAMS......

Hello my fellow readers! I hope all of you had a FANTASTIC NYE. I spent my NYE time relaxing very near to the coast, in the quaint little towns residing on road 30A. While down in the very southeast, I ventured with friends in and out of shops where I ran across these simple yet unique pillow shams. First of all, they were linen [check], secondly, somewhat of a different look I haven't seen [check], but the $$$ tag [no check]. Yep, I loved everything about them except the price tag. As looked at the package, sold individually instead of in pairs, with envy. I heard a whisper....."don't buy those...you can make them yourself." Genius!!!! Now, that's what a good friend is for. Thanks CTG!!! So, glad she thought of that for me. So, today I ventured to the fabric store and well ran across just what I was looking for [mark it down because rarely does it happen] With this being said.....I have a couple of photos to share with you. It's been a while since I dusted off my sewing machine and put it to work. I had my mind set on these shams and this is the final product. I bought the fabric for $12.99 a yard...and bought 2 yards. It's a gray slate linen and I was going for the "long draped off the bed" look.
