**The following review is part of the Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores National Craft Month campaign. I received compensation for this review; however, this is my personal, honest opinion based on my experience.**

I am almost embarrassed to admit this, but this is my first pillow! I've sewn numerous window treatments, dresses for when my daughter was little and Halloween costumes, but sadly…never a pillow!

Oh how that is now changed!

I am so happy with how my No-Sew Floral Spring Pillow turned out. No-sew is all the rage so I thought I'd give it a whirl. I leafed through the home sewing books that I own and various pillow patterns. From what I read from those, I went with a simple envelope pillow.

I headed out to my local Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Store. Jo-Ann makes spring crafting easy during National Craft Month with a $5 off $25 or more purchase coupon and a spring crafting inspiration website.

Jo-Ann has a huge, impressive fabric selection! One of the huge trends for spring in crafts, fashion and home decor is floral. I am so a floral girl. I love romantic vintage, floral inspired fabrics.

 I wanted to make a small accent pillow to use in an occasional chair. I decided to go with this beautiful, vintage inspired soft floral fabric. Jo-Ann has a large pillow form selection as well. 

Materials I purchased from Jo-Ann:

12×16 inch pillow form

1/2 yard of floral decorator fabric

buttons for my monogram

Heat N Bond Ultrahold tape in 5/8″

Everything else I had on hand: scissors, self-healing cutting mat, cutting board, rotary cutter, ruler, iron, ironing board, fabric chalk, needle and thread

Isn't this fabric beautiful!

I used my ruler that has an edge to hook onto the cutting mat. This allows for very straight cuts when used with the guide lines and rotary cutter. I cut 3 pieces in the following sizes to fit my 12×16″ pillow form.

Front Piece: 14×18″

2 pieces for back for envelope:

11×18″

8×18″

On 1 long end of the 2 back sections (wrong sides of fabric), cut a piece of tape to fit the length. Iron it on following the directions on the tape box. It will be hot!!! Let it cool completely before peeling off the paper backing. This will also ensure that it has set up.

 Peel the paper backing off the tape. Fold over and iron to hem. Do this for both back pieces. This gives a finished hem for the envelope back.

On the front piece, iron the tape around all four sides of the front piece (pretty side). Once cooled, remove the paper tape backing. Leave the piece just like it is. Place the two back pieces on top with pretty sides facing each other.

 It will look like this. Iron the 3 pieces together. Really follow tape directions. I use a hot, no steam setting and apply a bit of pressure to really marry the pieces together. The back forms an envelope back to insert the pillow form. This way you could easily change out the pillow with the seasons.

 I didn't take a picture of this, but slightly clip the corners so you can get a sharper corner. Let it cool and set up for about 10 minutes. Turn it inside out.

 I drew an “L” on the front with yellow chalk. You could glue the buttons on with a heavy-duty fabric glue. I decided to just sew on the buttons for added durability. Great excuse to sit and watch a TV show! Insert the pillow and voila! You are done. The pillow portion was completed in an hour.

Of course, you could leave off the button monogram, but I love the extra decorative touch!

 This is the back of the pillow. You can easily slip the cover off to change-up your look.

    I loved it and thank you for the inspiration! I’ve been grumbling to myself over tired pillows every time I walk past the living room. This is a wonderful idea to repurpose without have to store the old pillows.

      Thanks so much, Diane! I am so inspired by my first pillow. I have old pillows in thee attic that I’m going to drag out! Going to use in a higher use area so I may try sewing those! The no-sew really took the fear away! Happy crafting! XXOO Christy

Do you change your bedroom for the seasons? I’m Do you change your bedroom for the seasons? I’m a bit loosey goosey about it. I tend to decorate it in a way that will work for a couple of seasons at a time. The easiest way to do this is with pillows! I went a little unexpected color wise for spring because I found these gorgeous pillows @potterybarn and had to use right now! I love a pillow that will do double duty in other rooms as well. These will also work in the family room for a quick change. You can see all the details and more of our bedroom with a rug change by visiting my link in bio to this fun tour with 5 of my blogging friends.

After so many days of clouds and rain, the sun is glorious! Look at that blue sky! I took advantage of the day because I was just too excited to unroll my new @boutiquerugs outdoor rug on the patio! #ad I don't think I've ever been more pleased with an outdoor rug. It has totally defined this outdoor area. While our temps are still all over the place, we are already sitting out here on warm days. Daily outdoor living is right around the corner so now is a great time to take advantage of my discount code SOUTHERNHOME60 to get a sitewide discount on a new rug and more! We are supposed to be 70 today, so I'll be working out here today! Check out my stories for up-close details of this rug.

That quote totally sums up spring in the south! I laughed so hard when I read it. 

Nothing brightens a table like blue and white with pops of yellow! SWIPE to see all the photos. This color combination gets me so excited about the promise of warmer days ahead! ☀ I freshened up our breakfast room with a few new things courtesy of @oldtimepottery #oldtimepotterypartner

I used to make all of the birthday cakes for my ki I used to make all of the birthday cakes for my kids years ago. I’ve never had a class, but you can learn a lot from books and Youtube these days. This is the first one I’ve made in probably 8 years. These little smaller mini cake pans are so fun to make a taller cake. I’ve got all the details on this semi-homemade cake that starts with a box on the blog today along with a few recipes from my friends. Each month we come together to share a simple recipe. 

It’s not perfect, but made with love. 💕 It was a big hit for @ashlyn_little ‘s birthday on Jan 30th. I can’t wait to make another one! You’ll find a link in stories today or visit my link in bio @oursouthernhome to visit the blog.
