This and That About Neckties

So what interesting holiday is being observed today?

Why it’s Sewing Machine Day!

I’m not exactly sure why, but since it is, it gives me an opportunity to share something nifty I hand made using, you guess it, my sewing machine!

This Oscar de la Renta pillow is hand crafted from a large square silk scarf featuring old fashioned time pieces.  The designer name is printed at one of the corners. I fell in love with this vintage accessory and decided to make four pillows from it. What you see is in the photograph is approximately one forth of the original scarf.  I used soft-to-the-touch moleskin suede backing in a matching blue.

These totally unique square pillows make perfect accent pieces most anywhere in your home.  Check out my other creations under Necktie Pillows.
