DIY Pillows from a Shower Curtain

Okay, I think I have pillow ADD.  I have a serious problem of adoring living room pillows and then getting bored of them quickly.  New pillows on the sofa is the easiest way to freshen up a room or add new color.  It makes a home look cute and comfortable.  The problem is I love changing them!  And let me tell you that spending $20-$40 per pillow is not my style.  Um, no thank you.  Because they are so pricey, I’ve learned to sew pillows myself and switch them up in various ways like {HERE} and {HERE}.  And now I’ve found another way to make your own cute pillows for cheap.  These are DIY Shower Curtain Pillows sewn from a $20.00 fabric shower curtain.  That’s $5 per pillow.








Let me show you how I made these pillows from a shower curtain:

First of all, WHY a shower curtain?
* Great, durable fabric.  Thick, washable (of course). 
* So many cute styles! I wanted a certain look in my house and there are so many cute shower curtains–like these at Target or this InterDesign Trellis Shower Curtain, 72 x 72, Stone  from Amazon.  I found a perfect match for my living room.
* One curtain can make about 4 pillows and if you find a good $20.00 curtain that’s only $5.00 per pillow. 

Step 1.  Fold the shower curtain in half so you have two layers of fabric.

Step 2.  Measure into squares (depending on the size of pillow you want) and cut out both layers at the same time.  Mine were 17×17 inches which is about normal size for a sofa pillow.

Step 3.  Pin the front patterned sides together, so it’s inside out basically.  Sew a nice little straight line all around your pillow (I love sewing straight lines!).  Leave an opening on one side big enough for your hand to get in.
Step 4.  Reach into your opening and turn the fabric right side out.  Make sure you poke the corners out too.  You should have a nice square pouch.  You can iron it here too, so you don’t have creases in it, like mine does (haha!).
Step 5.  Stuff your pillow.  Use stuffing or filling from an older pillow if you want.  It’s a great way to upcycle an outdated pillow (even if you’re just got bored of it, like me).  I used a some Christmas pillows that I didn’t want anymore.  Rip them open and re-stuff your new pillow!
Step 6.  Once it’s full, sew the opening shut.  You can do this by hand or by machine. 
And you’re done!  Aren’t these homemade pillows cute?

Hopes this gives you another idea for decorating your home on a budget.  
Here’s my previous tutorial on DIY pillows and how I made them for $2.00 each!!

Enjoy a themed dinner while you watch a fun movie. The menu goes a long with the movie and is served to you while you are watching the scene it relates to. We saw Holes (which we love!) but there are many others to choose from. Our menu had a fun drinks, appetizers, main course, sides, and dessert. I left satisfied and had a fun time with my hubby and our friends. 

Purchase tickets online. Seating is first come, first served so arrive early if you want a certain seat (though there isn’t a bad seat at all). Let me know if you try this!

Definitely full of kid vibes but adults will like it too. A who-dun-it mystery. We laughed out loud a lot more than we expected!

Are you wondering if the Thanksgiving Point Festiv Are you wondering if the Thanksgiving Point Festival is worth visiting this year? Here’s a look at what we saw today. 

We’ve had a lot of up and down weather so I wasn’t surprised to find a lot of the tulips already finishing up their season on April 23. BUT we still found quite a few areas with some big, beautiful blooms and it was a peaceful walk with less crowds. There were signs reminding us that more tulips were going to be blooming soon, so maybe wait a week or so if you want to see those new tulips. 

Thank you @utahstulipfestival for a fun visit! @thankspoint @theashtongardens #tulipfestival #utahtulipfestival #tulipseason #springinutah #traveltips

Valentine’s Day with my man at the NEW Miller Fami Valentine’s Day with my man at the NEW Miller Family Beehive Stage @halecentretheatre . It’s was the perfect day to see a rom com and my hubby was a good sport to see a play called “Hallmarked” (NOT his favorite play so far). The play definitely lives up to its name—lots of predictable moments, plot holes, and cheesy lines. 🫤 But when it makes fun of itself, you will laugh and leave feeling lighthearted.
Leave your questions in the comments section if you want to more of my thoughts about this new play. #halecentertheater #thingstodoinutah #emptynesterlife #valentinesdaydate #familytravelideas
