This is such a fun visual! I think I will use this to make wall decor- frame the fabric instead of making a pillow? You make everything seem so easy to do. Thanks for all your work figuring out the best way to do your projects, and explaining them clearly. :-)

I love them, so simple! I have an obsession with black and white patterns...so I already have a gang of pillows made. I could just do a quick update with some silhouettes! Love it! thanks for sharing! :)

Thanks Danger! I was tortured by this project. I couldn't get it just right and then it dawned on me to use black and white graphic prints to make them a little different. Trial and error (mostly error!)
