$1.50 Thrifty Pillows

This weekend while my son was at his piano lesson I wandered into the Thrift Store down the street and looked around. I picked up a few little odds and ends, how can I resist a 50 cent candle holder? One little thing I got was a large square of brocade fabric found in a pile of table cloths. At $1.50 it was a steal and I was sure I could do something with it.  

 I have 2 throw pillows that have been taking up space. They had come with a bedding set I no longer owned and I wanted to cover them and place them in the living room.  This seemed like the perfect project for my $1.50 piece of brocade.

 had just enough fabric to cover both pillows.

If you are a thrift shopper, keep your eyes open to the possibilities of fabric use. Curtains, tablecloths, etc.. can be turned into something new and great.
