Women vs"The Machine"....Courtney

I arose from the basement with my pillow held high like that monkey held Simba’s baby in the Lion King. I imagined singing coming from all my people as we all proudly smiled and gathered around my creation. My pillow! I did a victory lap around the kitchen island, wishing someone was home to share my glory! A couple fist pumps and booty shakes later...I think...Vera WHO? WHAT? WHEN? VERA HOW? Courtney IS the new Vera Wang!



This my friends is my pillow in all it's glory. It was a fairly easy journey for me and The Stan (the pillows name). But like most humble beginnings, it all started with a scarf and dream.....




Once I washed and re washed the scarf(it did come from the salvation army my friends,)I was on my way. I did what I hadn't done in years...I IRONED! I laid out the scarf on the new fabric sis and I picked up from Hobby Lobby! Then it was me vs "The Machine".



When I started to sew, there was red thread in "The Machine". I had to dig deep into myself (and the sewing box) until I found direction or rather THE DIRECTIONS! I didn't even had to read them! They were all pictures! PERFECT! For the record, I do know how to read...but picture directions ROCK! So it was no problem to change that red thread to black..It only took maybe 11 minutes to make that pillow..but it IS a lifetime accomplishment....Here is the picture one more time...



Isn't he beautiful?!
