Sewing Project #1 - Accent Pillows

The first project I decided to do was accent pillows for Allie's bed.  Her room is becoming mostly white, tans, and some accent pinks and turquoise.  

I made these pillows out of my bridesmaid linen skirt from my sister's wedding.  I had only worn it once since July 2008, so I decided I should probably get rid of it or use it for something else.  

Here is a pic of the skirt: (I'm the one holding the baby)

And here is the pic of the skirt, revisited:

I used some pom pom fringe I had picked up at my local thrift store, which came in this ginormous bag of lace for $2 :)

Doesn't it make you want one of these?

Or to do this to one of your chairs?

Too bad I don't have more of it...

Remember, I still have 2 more projects to finish...so stay tuned :)
