Mealplan Monday #39 and some snazzy red pillows

I found time to sew a couple of red throw pillows for the living room recently.  It was  good to pause and do something peaceful and quiet - like sewing!  I had a curtain panel that I found on clearance at Target, then realized it wouldn't work.  I kept it thinking I could make something else with it, though.
Originally I planned on adding a pillow to these chairs.
I laid the curtain out to make sure it would work.  Perfect.  these are some very old pillows from a sectional we no longer own - ca. 1988.
 I used an envelope closure.  I ironed out the fabric, doubled it over for thickness,
and pinned where to sew.  Took me about 30 minutes total for two pillows, but that included hauling my machine out, threading a bobbin,  and vacuuming the furniture.

They actually look pretty over on the sofa, so I left them there for now.  The Girl is home for Christmas and it feels like the holiday is beginning!
