My friend, Jamie from California, saw this skirt in a thrift store and knew it would be perfect for her friend. . .as a pillow.  The fabric has a beautiful touch to it and the lining is high quality and very silky and soft.  She packaged it all up to me with handwritten instructions.  In a few days I mailed back this:

The lining is now a coordinating ruffle, and Jamie even had the great idea to use the tags for decoration on the front, to remind the pillow what it had been.

 For those of you wondering if I do custom work, I used to.  I'm focusing my time right now on my kitchen remodel, my kiddoes, and new patterns to publish.  Jamie is very special.  She's the kind of girl that sends you $100 when your husband loses his job and I would do anything for her that was possible.  I didn't consider this a custom project, just a gift from one friend to another.
