Blast from the past pillow...

For the first time in a long time, I'm living in a place with a front porch.  So I've been adding elements that make it a comfortable place to spend time.  The cushions on my bent willow chair badly needed recovering, so I've recently tackled that project.  It was a small project, and a good way to ease back into my sewing machine's good graces.

I re-use the same pillows for a very long time.  How long?  Well, when I took off the outer layer of one, I found this:

Humble beginnings!  This is a pillow I made in Home Economics class in Grade 7.  The felt has pulled as it's worn under a layer of covering fabric, but it's in relatively good shape.  Ugly, but in good shape!  lol

So it's not got a new cover (the fabric is from an old Ikea bedspread).  And I'll soon forget what's inside, until I get another pleasant (if humbling) surprise.
