Bee Mine

A few years ago I started calling a friend of mine B, and for some reason that extended out into bumble b (probably because he was being grouchy!) As the years passed some how people were under the impression that I fancied bee's, and I started to accumulate gifts that people gave me, involving bees of all shapes and sizes. So this is one of those gifts (from my boyfriend) that I never used. A bee mine t-shirt. It does make for a super cute pillow though!
 I just cut out two of the same size rectangles-front and back-at the same time. Then I flipped them the wrong way out to sew them together.  And here's where my HUGE problem began! I wanted to add ruffles to the outside edge, but did not think ahead to how i was going to put them on if the two pieces were already attached! So I just attached the ruffle through the 3" opening i left at the bottom to stuff the pillow! It worked with a  lot of stop and go sewing and quite a bit of pulling as well! ;)
 This was also the first time I have ever made a ruffle! How fun was it! :) I feel like I might apply ruffles to every thing in the near future, that's how much i liked it! Thanks for reading my DAY 5 project! :D
