I on the other hand just can’t bring myself to sit at her machine and learn to use it. It’s really quite sad. It probably says a lot about my personality. What it says, I’m not quite sure…but it says something. Probably better off not knowing. In the meantime what’s a girl to do who likes pretty pillows and doesn’t want to pay an arm and a leg for them? Why jump on the “no sew” bandwagon! It’s amazing all of the things they have created to accommodate us “no sew” people and help us create the allusion that we really are seamstresses.
For example heat bonding tape…it’s a beautiful thing!

Cute pillow! Congrats to your little girl on learning to sew!
And congrats to your prizewinner!
What great looking pillows with no sew and a cheap price tag. What could be better. Love the porch styling sneak peek. Thanks for joining the party.
That is a great idea! thank you so much for the tutorial…I always wondered if I could do that…because I can’t sew either…so it is now nice to know that it can be done and that I can have an opening for the pillow as well!
your pillows look great on your porch.
The pillow looks great! Oooo a block party!?!? I will be there with my ‘party pants’ on 🙂 Can’t wait to link up!
I see lots of pillow covers in my future! What a fantastic way to change out the covers anytime you want to change your look!
What a cute fabric. I’m not a big sewer so this is wonderful 🙂
I have to laugh when I see y’all using that seam sealer-to me, that CAN sew, it just seems like so much more work than sitting down and running a few straight seams around a pillow piece. LOL…However, there are lots of things that I CAN’T do that others think is a piece of cake…like computer stuff…I agonize over hitting a wrong key and wondering where my life went….pooof….gone….gone for good….
Love that fabric-it is just the right amount of patriotic for me too! xo Diana
Great pillows Heather and I love the NO sew part because I can’t sew for my life!! Your porch looks so pretty I can’t wait to see it all next week!! Martina
Love the pillows, and I love being able to decorate for each holiday without spending a lot of money and this is one great idea!

What a great idea to use the bandanas at Hobby Lobby for these. I like to switch out the pillows on my front porch, but I’ve never done patriotic ones… yet.
Super cute…

Love the fabric and the pillows! Makes me want to make slipcovers for my pillows today!
What cute pillows! I have been sewing since I was 12 and I have a hard time with the heat bonding tape! For me it’s so much easier and faster to sew it! Hey, whatever works! Love your pillows!
These are adorable! I don’t sew either, but I wish I could. These I could definitely do. Thanks for the tutorial!
Your pillow is darling, Heather! And what a good idea to use bandannas to make pillows–sew or no-sew, this is a wonderful source for fun seasonal fabrics at a low price. Thanks for sharing your inspiration!
Lovely on your wonderful porch; I, too, getting ready to decorate for the 4th–we love that summer holiday for many reasons. Great post!
That is so cute! I love the no-sew idea too. 🙂 Your porch is so adorable as well, what a great place to sit and enjoy an afternoon. 🙂
