Throw Pillow

While unpacking winter clothes last weekend, I came across this little wool tank...

I love the bead work

Inspired by some pillows that Lynn at UpCountry Olio made (here),

I thought this could be turned into a throw pillow for the bedroom.

So, I grabbed this plain spare pillow, to use as my base/stuffing.

It fit perfectly inside the tank.

After trimming off the excess material at the top & bottom,

I quickly stitched it up by hand, with some dark gray thread... 

(read: still intimidated by the sewing machine!)   

Since the material was "fuzzy", the stitches are really hidden well, so I didn't even have to fret too much about making them exactly even.

It took a total of about 20 minutes!
