Fabric hunting

Saturday I went to a local fabric store with my mom to hunt for some pretty spring fabric to cover the pillows on my couch and loveseat. The pillows that came with them are red and brown and have a rather generic design on them. I liked them really well when we bought the furniture about three years ago, but last spring I really started craving some soft colors and pretty designs and ended up staring at them rather resentfully for the whole season. So! Since my mom is teaching me how to use a sewing machine, I decided it was time for some pillow covers. We searched and searched and dug and dug through the fabric and I just didn't really find anything that I loved. We eventually dug through the overstock under a table and I found a fabric that I hadn't seen out on display:


It wasn't really what I had in mind, but I fell in love with it so I bought it. :o) I think we'll get started on making the pillow covers next week. I can't wait to see how they turn out!
