…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!
3
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!

Obviously I meant tea towel selection, not pillow case selection in my previous comment.
Um yes, you are amazingly talented. I love the color combo and the stencil! My husband is so into biking. Also, I am going to Target tomorrow and going to check on the pillow case sale selection…
Oh how I love the little banners! So adorable!
I live wayyyy out in the boonies, but tomorrow, I had planned a shopping trip into the city with my daughter. We are definitely stopping at Target (love that store)!! Wonderful color combos!
These are adorable! You are so creative. I just bought these at Target and the yellow ones, too. This is great inspiration! Cutest thing I've seen all day!
LOVE LOVE LOVE these! They turned out amazing and I love your your daughter helped! I would also LOVE if you would link up your project to our {{What I Made Wednesday}} linky party…it's going on now! And, I'm your newest follower! =)

I'm new to blogging and new to your site, but not new to crafting…I stumbled upon these pillows and O M G. Just O M G. I'm dying with excitement at wanting to make them myself. I'm dropping everything to head to Target. Now.
