Envelope Pillows

My other flea market grain sacks are now pillows


I washed and dried the grain sacks and then used the entire sack to make each pillow.
I did them envelope style - which is sooooo simple!


If you can sew two seams - one on each side - you can do it!
To stuff them, I used down pillow inserts from Ikea.


Here's a You Tube tutorial on how to make envelope pillows.


These two took 10 minutes to make!
 That includes getting my sewing machine out,
plugging it in,
pinning the sides,
 sewing,
and stuffing the pillows into the sacks!

Easy Peasy!
