cardigan sweater pillow cover


Oops.  When I exported my photo from Lightroom I left the watermark on.  Shameless advertising for my photography, I know.
Anyhow... I found a darling wool sweater cardigan at the thrift store.  I loved the colors and the big buttons... but I wouldn't have worn it (it was too big anyhow).  I washed it on hot and dried it in the dryer to felt the wool.  Then I laid it out and cut a square to fit my pillow.  I sewed around the four sides (leaving the center button unbuttoned so I could flip the right side out. 
I can take the pillow out of the cover by unbuttoning it.  It will look cute in the fall with my pumpkin pillows!
