What A Sham! A Pair of Shams Actually...

My other title choice was "Sham WOW!"  

And although I am VERY proud 

of my new pillow shams that I made, 

I am not sure they are WOW worthy!  

I am just so happy that this room 

is moving along and almost finished.  

I finished the pillow shams this week 

using the same buffalo check fabric 

that I used for the drapes.  

I followed a few tutorials 

that I found and tailored them to fit my needs.  

I wanted to make two standard sized 

flanged edge pillow shams. 

 StoneGable has a wonderful tutorial 

for Euro Shams that I followed.  

To get the right measurements 

for a Standard Sized Sham,

I watched a YouTube video 

by the Crafty Gemini that was awesome!  

For my Shams, I ended up using 

these measurements for each sham.  

One piece 31" X 25" for the front 

and two pieces 35" X 25"for the back. 

Here is the back of the pillow sham.  

The envelope closure makes it really easy 

to insert the pillow.  

I really love the way it is all coming together!  

My sister commented 

that it was a little "Girly". 

 Hmmmmmm, what do you think?  

It never even really occurred to me 

that it was "Girly".  

No one has complained yet...  

This is where we started... 

A LOT has changed!

Until Next Time,
