Envelope

When I was visiting Luc
I noticed a couple pillows
on her big leather couch.

Handmade?
I asked.

As if I needed to.

I asked her how she made them.
Did she buy a pattern?
Where did she learn.

She said it was just an envelope pillowcase
and that she sort of
kind of
just
did it.

So,
today,
I decided I would try it.
Because it's Friday.
Because it's Halloween weekend.
And because, for the first time since moving here SIX MONTHS ago,
the weather is
perfection.

I texted Luc,
told her I was about to try it.
"Don't overthink it,"
she said.

And so,
I didn't.

The fabric
was a gift from Luc.
I had admired it
For.Ev.Er.
Then, one day,
it was in the mail.

I love good mail days.

Pattern: Improvised
Fabric: Awesome
Skill level: Uber beginner, as that's what I am.

Hope you love 'em as much as I do.

Cheers,
A
