It’s dangerous browsing Pinterest, especially at night.  I get all kinds of ideas and then get excited about starting the project the next day.  I’ve been browsing Pinterest and came across various DIY envelope pillow case tutorials. 

It’s been many years since I have done a sewing project.  The only material I had in the house was Pittsburgh Steelers fabric.   “That would be great for the game room,” I thought.

Idea from Pinterest – Pittsburgh Steelers Envelope Pillow Cases

So, my project the other day was to learn how to make a couch pillow cover.  Since I live in a house full of Steelers fans, I planned to make Pittsburgh Steelers Envelope Pillow Covers. 

We have some old ratty looking couch pillows that I wasn’t fond of.  I was so excited to get those covered and make the boys and husband happy at the same time.

Here’s a picture of the DIY envelope pillow cases that I made.
