Goodwill Pillow Turns Coffee Ad
Shopping at Goodwill always renders a surprise. I never know what I’ll come across. One of the things I always do when I’m there is keep an open mind, and watch for anything that could be useful as is…or with a new life.
Last week I spent the ENTIRE week in Dr.’s offices. As stress relief on Friday I needed stay in Lubbock all day to have tests done…so in between visits, I went to snoop about my haunts in Lubbock. I didn’t turn up much…I guess no one has been cleaning out stuff.
I DID however snag me another feather pillow!!! And…take a look at the price on that bad boy!!! 😀 This baby is going to go with my roman shade from mini blinds for the sun room!
Now, while I’m not a huge fan of army green, I am a huge fan of feather pillows. I have several coffee bags that I haven’t converted to roman shades yet, and while I should be busy getting those done…I wanted an accessories for my sun room….hahaha as if I don’t have enough sitting around the house! lol
I made two super simple squares from the bags. I made them 1/2″ larger on each side for seam allowance. I had plans to sew it, as usual, inside out. But, when I sat down to sew it…I changed my mind…and opted to sew it right sides out! I wanted frayed edges. Regular fringe just didn’t seem right in this application…however…I’m thinking on that one. So, the seams don’t get any easier!
No worries about hand stitching the end up! Fraying? Well, while messy, is super simple!
It even looks good on my leopard print couch, bonus decorating ideas!
Have you been to the Goodwill lately?
Have you found any treasures?
What would you do with this pillow?
Love Y’all!

Just wondering…. where the heck do you find the coffee bags? At a grocery store or at Good Will too? Sure would love to make a few of thee. I have plain burlap but the ad on the side is what I think makes the pillow. I find all kinds of great things at Good Will and Value Village and other 2cd hand stores.. I upscale them mostly into things that I use in my flower beds that go all around my yard and I recently screened in my deck so I have a nice Summer area enclosed with lights and décor that is so homey. Anyways, Love! Love! Love your site! Have a great day!

I found mine on ebay. I’ve seen them other places…although I can’t recall where. Do a search for coffee bean sacks. I bet you’ll find them. I know you can order them on ebay for sure.
