How To Make A Pillow Cover

 With Crochet Trim

By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs

I saw the fabric on line and just had to have some.

 I went to my local Hobby Lobby

 but they did not have it in stock.

I ordered the Granny Square fabric from the 

Hobby Lobby website. It is a cotton Duck cloth

 which is a nice heavy duty fabric.

I originally wanted the fabric to make some liners 

for bags. Once it arrived I decided to make a pillow cover

 for a pillow I already had. I Love it. The cover can

 be removed and washed if it gets dirty.

Remember you do not need a sewing machine to make

 this pillow cover. You can stitch this up by hand 

with thread and needle. The Sewing machine just

 makes it faster and easier.

I also decided I wanted to make a Crochet trim for the

 pillow cover. I thought this Red Heart yarn was a perfect

 match with the bring colors and pops of black.

It's Red heart Stripes in the Primary Stripes Colorway.

Summer Billed Hat Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Summer Billed Hat 

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs

The Summer Billed Hat is a great addition to your

 Summer outfits. The hat is open and airy to keep you

 comfy cool, and has a small bill to keep the sun off 

your face and out of your eyes.

Even though This was a request,

I'll admit I designed this style for me. I have been 

thinking about it for a while and when I saw how 

pretty the yarn was, I knw it would be perfect

 for this hat.

I designed it using Premier Sweet Roll acrylic yarn

 Medium (4) weight yarn, The Colorway I chose is guava.

 There are 8 colorways to choose from and any of them

 will work great for this hat design.

Use My Premier LINK 

To see them for yourself.

You will not be disappointed.

The Hat design is an easy design, no fancy stitches,

and it works up quickly. It makes a nice last minute gift

 or needed for a last minute outing.

FRIDAY FUN DAY - Flower Bunting Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

FRIDAY FUN DAY!

 Flower Bunting Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs

The Flower Bunting is a fun way to add spring and

 summer to your garden, deck, patio, 

porch or even indoors.

The Flower Bunting / Banner  is perfect for decorating for

parties, get togethers and celebrations. So many color

 and theme possibilities.

I designed it using left over medium (4) weight

 cotton yarns and really love the combination

 of spring colors. You can choose any colors of yarn

 or colors you have on hand.

Acrylic yarn also works great for this project, as well.

 They stitch up quickly, too. They Measure about 5 Inches

 each pennant, so you can stitch up a bunch in just a 

short time. And be ready to decorate.
