Ah, we all have that one friend, don't we?  The friend with the wild and wacky ideas.  The friend who leaves you scratching your head wondering, "Where on earth does she come up with this stuff?  Is she from another dimension"?  Well, guess what?  I'm that friend.  The one who does things that make you question my sanity and wonder about the origin of my ideas.  Brace yourself for a ride into the realm of my quirky mind!   

Let's get down to business and talk about... drumroll please.... no sew pillows!  I know, I know, another no sew pillow?  But trust me, this one is like nothing you've seen before.  Prepare to be blown away by this ridiculously easy no sew pillow that will make you question why you never thought of it yourself.  And the best part?  The stuffing I use might make you think what on earth is she doing now?    

I was on the hunt for bolster pillows, searching for something specific to spruce up our bedroom.  I had a pin-stripe in mind, and of course, I was not finding what I was searching for.  As luck would have it, one day I was leisurely strolling through a local thrift store... I turned a corner, eyeing vases and such, I stumbled upon a rack of mens suits priced at a mere $6.99 each.  

Hmmm... I pondered, wonder how many of these they sell?  Then, my gaze locked onto a pin-striped suit, and in that instant a bolt of inspiration struck me like a fashion-forward lightening bolt.  Bolster pillow, baby!  Those suits ceased to exist in my mind; all I saw were fabulous DIY pillow possibilities.  

Pants from suit 

With a wicked grin, I swiftly wielded my scissors, amputating the legs of those pants.  Let me tell you, they transformed into a pair of Daisy Dukes faster than you can say "fashion faux pas."  Oh, the irony!  

Yep, I see the lint from my white sweater all over them too, but I am ignoring it for now, can't you?

The grand transformation continues!  Once I triumphantly snipped off the legs, I whipped out my trusty black and white striped ribbon, the Jack-of-all-trades in my craft arsenal, and tied off one end of the "no sew pillow."  But oh, the stuffing dilemma!  Fear not, my friends, for creativity knows no bounds in my quirky universe.  

In a stroke of genius, I turned to an outdated sweater, a faithful companion from years gone by. Folding it in half, I layered the sleeves over the fold, ready for the ultimate transformation.  With a determined gleam in my eye, I began rolling that sweater like a champ, creating my very own homemade stuffing.  You won't believe this, but I ended up using not one, but three sweaters in total!  Talk about lumpy creativity at its finest.

Those lumps were simply not up to my discerning standards.  So, I had a eureka moment and decided to remove the sweaters from the pillow-to-be and placed them snugly inside a pillowcase.  Oh, the wonders of smoothness!  It was like a spa day for my easy no sew pillow, ironing out every wrinkle and imperfection.  

Oh how I felt the relief... the plan worked like a charm, viola!  For a mere pittance of money and a boatload of resourceful ingenuity, I proudly present to you my very own pin-striped bolster pillow, the elusive treasure I've been hunting down all this time.

Ta da, we have a bolster pillow, the no sew way!

No more guessing how many yards of fabric do I need for a bolster pillow?  No worries of what are bolster pillows filled with, or even what is the measurement of a bolster pillow?  Everything is already taken care of for you with this approach, thank goodness since I cannot sew to save my life!  

But hey, here's a little secret I'll let you in on: even though my sewing skills may be nonexistent, I have an uncanny knack for finding ways to bring my ideas to life.  I'm the queen of making things happen, and you can be too - just follow the glorious path of the no sew pillow!  Who needs a needle and thread when you can embrace a world of creativity without ever touching a sewing machine?  I'm all about turning my dreams into reality, are you?  Join me, and let's conquer this crafty world one no sew pillow at a time!
