I made some pillow shams following the Design Sponge Pillow Sham Tutorial. I found the fabric at a local discount fabric store and fell in love with it immediately. It was green with turquoise accents. What’s not to love?

The tutorial was well written and had lots of pictures to follow along with. I made sure to wash and dry the fabric before sewing to take care of any shrinkage. That is always a step I want to skip, but I learned the hard way. The finished product looks professional with all the seams enclosed.

I found a sweet nightstand at an estate sale which I will share soon. Hopefully, I can get some finished room pictures together in the next few days to show you how things are coming along.

I love the fabrics you chose! The green fabric looks like vintage barkcloth. So pretty with the little vase on the nightstand.
There are several things I just love in your bedroom. Love your painted pillow and I think that’s a great idea. Love the double framed art on the room. Love your new fabric. It’s all so pretty and restful…looks collected over time. That’s what I like and hope to achieve.
Mary…the shams are beautiful! It’s such a nice feeling to make something yourself! Great job! Your bedroom is so pretty…I love your headboard!
