…My problem has a name and it is: Target.
Why can’t I go there and just enjoy the view?
No. I have to get something.
The colors… the price… my head that can’t stop making things UP!

Before I knew it I was in trouble, praying for every light to be green on the way back home.
It was time… TIME to make some Kitchen Towel Pillows.
So, this is how we did it…
And this week it didn’t help that while visiting the store I remembered
the gorgeous fabric that I had received in the mail just a few days before.
MATERIALS
Fabric
Vinyl- Find It HERE
Sew Machine – Thread
Acrylic Craft Paint
Ribbon
Scissor
TUTORIAL
1
I cut a bunch of triangles and sewed them together
so both sides would look good.
2
I traced where I wanted the little banner to be
and I pinned the triangles and the ribbon to the pillows.
At this point I ended with something like this…
Don’t you love the colors? I do!

It was VINYL STENCIL TIME!
I designed this vinyl stencil using my vinyl machine cutter.
All you need to do after you have the stencil is to rub it, transfer it, place it and after applying the paint peel it away!
3 {and a half}
I called in the reinforcements… My girl helped me paint the fabric!
{REMEMBER tap… tap… tap…}
If you were in my home at this point you would have heard her saying:
“I KnOw mamá”

More reinforcement time to sew and put everything together.
My other girl took care of the hand stitching….
{I L♥VE my GIRLS}
{I L♥VE my GIRLS}
…while I took care of the sewing machine.
You’ll be done before you know it!

Time to fill up the pillow cases!
Just like that they came alive.
{It’s funny how the same thing happens with our hearts… More we fill them with the right “batting”
more alive they become}
Soooo happy!
So, let’s take a minute… let’s sit down for a second and think about the donut instead of the hole. Let’s think of the blessing, of the people that love us, of the beauty of this world we all share.
What I am trying to say is….
Life is too short… therefore we should
Enjoy The Ride!
The beauty of vinyl stencils is that you can use them any surface… Look how good it looks on wood!
Thank you for stopping by today!

Those are too cute! I love the colors!! 🙂
Those turned out fantastic! I have a Target addiction too… especially those clearance endcaps!
I hope I win the stencil – I'm going to buy the towels just in case ;)–
I love your colors–those are in my kitchen. I can't wait to go to Target now and see if they have the dishtowels left in stock. Your daughter did a great job helping paint and sew.
Fun times. debbie at [email protected]
Sew cute!!!!! I love them.
Oh, I forgot …. I pinned you on pinterest!
I keep seeing so many great projects using vinyl stencils, and these pillows are adorable!
I have a question, though… Are these things reuseable or what?
I love your blog and wow the pillows are amazing! I really appreciate that you enlist a helper! How great is it to share a craft with a child!
What do you make your stencils out of? Do you cut them by hand or with a machine?
Thanks so much for sharing your ideas and projects, they are very inspiring!
Awesome work, loved the pillows. And they look so inviting on the white chairs! Found your blog at Positively Splendid, great one!
This project has such a WOW factor. I'm in love & I must have that stencil! (I love my bike anyway & this is just so much fun.) Thanks for the inspiration!
Warmly, MIchelle
The pillows are adorable! If I win I am for sure giving them to my mom who loves biking and rides 1000-2000 miles a summer AFTER receiving a hip replacement!!
