dwellings and décor

Ruffles and lace win me over every time especially when they are on beautiful pillows!

My mom just gave me a bunch of really thick beautiful fabric with pretty trim and I am so tempted to sew a pillow with it. Pillows are easy to sew right? Adding zippers or buttons are little intimidating so I think I am not going to make a cover but instead a permanent pillow. At least for my first one. :)

I think once I get the hang of it I would love to make one with lace and eventually add ruffles on another. Maybe I should take a sewing class or get a book to learn how to do the harder things like zippers and buttons. Maybe that will be my goal for the next few weeks.

Any suggestions or tips?
