Linen Grain Sack Pillow

Another grain sack knock off – I whipped up on Sunday afternoon. This time I made it large enough it fit a normal bed pillow in. Think I will have to make a matching one now.
I love dragging the sewing machine out makes a nice change from the paint brush.

I have the airconditionier on today and as I drove down the street for some bits & pieces there were people swimming in the local Coomera River. Must be a sign that the weather is on the improve.

    Oh, what a coincidence. I'm in the middle of making one almost exactly the same for my bed! I love this style of pillow.

    Lots if mad sewing here when I can but the weather is still dubious so no paintbrushes until the weather improves enough for me to go outside to get to my unfinished table.
    Cheers! Irene x

    Hi Sandy…Love our grainsack pillow! I like that it is a bed pillow size. I have some pretty vintage looking towels that I would like to make into pillow covers. You are motivating me to get my sewing machine out and get it's motoring running!~Hugs, Patti

    Gorgeous, Sandy. I like making pillows the size of standard pillow forms too. They are perfect for really using them then. Your room is lovely, serene and comfortable looking.

    You are getting warm and we are getting to cold to even be damp and be outside. Brrrrr…Diana
