Three Throw Pillows

At last, for the first time, I tried my electric sewing machine that my husband bought me as his gift last Valentines Day. I was not able to try it right away because just a couple of days after that, I got the job and was busy all the time. I love my electric sewing machine. I love its features and everything about it. I will need to make a cabinet for it with matching chair so that it will be easier for me to use it anytime I need it.
.
During my last visit in the Philippines, I bought some fabrics with the intention to make throw pillow cases for the three throw pillows that I bought from a garage store, that I have been kept in the closet for several months.
.
Here is the three throw pillows that I made the other day. Aren't they pretty? I am really so glad that I made them, and now I can display them in our living room. I love sewing. I have been doing it since in my teens. The difficult part of sewing here in Florida is finding cheaper fabrics for my projects. My only chance are when I go to thrift stores, or garage sales, where I find some unwanted fabrics and they just sell it for a dollar or a little more. I have a couple of them, but not enough to make three pillow cases.
.
I am looking forward to sew more in the days to come. A friend of mine told me to try Jo-Ann fabric and to try to inquire about fabric discounts. I will do so.
