Easy Removable Pillow Cover

For today's "Try A Tutorial Tuesday" I chose a easy removable pillow cover from Candace at

Sparkle Power . Here she shares a fabulous step by step picture tutorial on how to sew a very simple EASY removable pillow cover. Thanks Candace!

Since we are renting and are unable to paint our walls, we like to change things up by having two types of bedding and themes. We have a Black and Lime Green Paisley theme, and we also have a Chocolate brown, Beige, and Blue Circle Theme. I have a TON of extra decorative throw pillows that I usually have on my bed (They aren't pictured above). I just re-purposed the pillows so they can go with both sets of bedding.

I had to change her sizing she gave because my pillow wasn't the same size, but I was able to figure it out just the same.

If you would like to follow along you can find her tutorial HERE. If you'd like to re-fresh your memory on the rules for "Try a tutorial Tuesday" please follow the post HERE.

Reversible Headband

For this weeks "Try A Tutorial Tuesday" I chose a reversible headband I've been dying to try. I've seen a few blog posts about them and I had to see what all the fuss is about! Let me tell you...it's all true. Fun, Easy, AND Practical!

The fabulous creator of such a well written tutorial (WITH PICTURES! I might add) was from Suzanne from Foofanagle. You can find "The best band ever" tutorial HERE.

I added my own little crafty pants touch by adding the cute fabric flower. I just made a fabric flower with the extra material, added some tulle, and a button. Then I attached a safety pin to the flower so when we want to reverse the headband and remove the flower we can.

• If it weren't for her picture tutorial I think I'd have been a little confused. But because of her fabulous step by step pictures I was able to figure it out.

• I basically followed her directions, except I used a double sided scrapbook paper. So I didn't need to glue a contrasting paper to the bottom. She used a beautiful stamp on her triangle, but mine is basic and plain. I felt the word "Read." said it all.
