Now that the weather is getting cooler, we’ve been looking for subtle ways to add cozyness to our home. These Pottery Barn pillows have been on our radar… but come on, $70 for a pillow cover? We nixed that idea and decided to make our own out of something else: sweaters!
Here’s how to do it.
3. Fit, Measure, and Sew. Before doing any cutting, we slipped the sweater over the pillow to see if it fit, and determine where to sew.
4. Cut. Once the neck and arm holes were sewn (inside out), we cut off the extra fabric and turned it right side out.
5. Slip the cover onto your pillow and be happy you didn’t spend $70 at Pottery Barn!

Use the sleeves for wine bottle holders to give as gifts. You don’t have to sew the bottom just measure the length of the bottle and cut sleeve to length. You can sew or turn under the raw cut edge. Tie a ribbon around the neck and you are all set!
