Personalized Pennant Wall Décor
Mary Jo from 517 Creations made this pennant to add to her son’s "vintage Americana baseball" bedroom décor. Mary Jo first designed her pennant on the computer before going to work with her felt. She didn’t cut any corners and took the extra step of sewing on the letters instead of just gluing them. What a cute way to cheer on your little … [Read more...]

Pintucked Sweater Pillow
Jennifer from All Things Belle created this lovely little pillow from a wool sweater that met its end in the washer. The green linen pintucking is the perfect complement to the grey wool. The moral of the story is… Instead of chucking woolen items that accidentally make their way to the washer, turn them into a trendy, texture-rich pillow. … [Read more...]
