AND it's removable!

Okay, don't laugh. I've sewn another ruffled pillow...and there's another on the way.
I can't get enough.

Rod said he is being invaded by ruffles...and I have to admit that it's true.

I needed pillows for our two front room chairs and because I liked the one I made for the bedroom so much, I had to bring ruffles to the front room. Sorry Rod.

But even better - I made the cover removable this time. Oh yes I did!


I'd been afraid to make a removable cover, thinking it would be too complicated, but thanks to a tutorial on Sparkle Power it was easy enough even for me!

Also since I was making the cover removable/washable, I needed to cut the ruffle strips with a pinking blade (50% off at JoAnn's), otherwise it would fray like crazy when washed...and although the strips now have the zig-zaggy pinking blade effect along the edges instead of being straight, I still like the way it turned out.

I think I might have to make all my pillow covers removable from now on, since it was so easy!

Invasion of the ruffel pillows....it's like invasion of the body snatchers but with ruffel pillows. I'm not a ruffels fan unless it's a potato chip ;-)

I'm glad Maren isn't into ruffels; I don't know if I could handel it the way Rod is. If I had to have all those ruffels I would have had to demand the flame bath tub curtain

I totally like the removable idea... But i think Walt is right Rod should get the flame bath room curtains, and maybe a toilet seat cover too ;D
