DIY Pillow Cover in Five Easy Steps
I’m back with another Drab to Fab for y’all: DIY hand-sewn pillow cover! This is one of the Pinterest project attempts completed for the 30-before-30 challenge: 30 completed Pinterest projects.

Thank goodness the weather isn’t as bad as #icemageddon we had back in December. Now, I don’t have any fancy-shmancy plans like most lovebirds this Valentine’s Day, but one of the girliest things my blog followers will learn about me in due time is that I love dressing up for holidays. Yep, I had an outfit planned for next Friday. Judge me. But, with the weather, it looks like my sheer top and fabric-pink scarf will have to take the bench…
