Do you have 15 minutes?

So I LOVE me a quick and easy project. This one literally took 15 minutes and I feel packed a hefty punch in regards to spicing up my playroom.

We have been spending quite a bit of time up in the playroom so I have wanted to make some new throw pillows to cozy up the space.

Back in January I bought some cute chevron fabric from fabric.com that I thought would look good as an accent in the space. I had to exercise a lot of self control to not quickly whip up some pillow covers since, but I promised Shane no new projects until I finished the stupid bathroom! Unreal that I kept that promise, as I have some serious project ADD.

I found an online tutorial to make envelope pillow covers and I am so pleased with how simple it was. I will NEVER buy another pillow cover again!

I bought a yard of fabric and got 2 covers out of it. The fabric was less than 10 bucks a yard! Done and Done.(See Shane, that is why I have been hanging on to my old pillows- I am not a hoarder:)

So here they are...

and here they are in use...

(notice the gaunchies-yup were back trying the whole potty training thing again-WORST thing about parenting-I sooooo wish there was a camp or program I could send him to and he would just return potty trained)

 I just love that I can take these covers off and throw them in the wash. With the dirty hands and faces that reside here, that is a MUST!

Here are a couple shots of the playroom in progress.... It really is finally coming together. Sorry again for the weird photos, it is a small and weird shaped space.(note:I think it is so funny to take pictures with out people in them for blogging purposes-haha, but I have benefited many times from blogger pictures, so I will keep doing it in hopes that maybe I will help someone else:)

The only things left that I would like to do is get a proper frame for a world map picture that I have and possibly to a magnetic board wall out of sheet metal(we'll see if that happens, as I am not sure if I can get my sheet metal guy to cut a square in it for the plug in...)
Back to the pillow covers, here is the tutorial I used! Literally 2 true seams! So if your like me and like to switch things up, and you have access to a sewing machine and 15 minutes go whip some up!
