Because travel is such a big part of our lives we have become totally OBSESSED with maps or anything that has any sort of map on it! When we visited Portland we passed by a little independent fabric store that I had to go in! The fabric was all adorable (and expensive) so it was just fun to browse. On my way out I found a little tea towel that had a map of Oregon and Washington. It was inexpensive and soooo cute and I figured I could find something to do with it once we got home. Ever since then I look for them everywhere I go and I was lucky enough to find another one in London!!!
I decided to use the tea towels to make some pillowcases to cover some throw pillows for our couch and bed. It was super quick and easy and I used leftover fabric I already had at home for the back contrasting fabric!
All I did was cut my contrasting fabric to fit my tea towel +10 inches to the length and then cut that piece in half.
I then folded those edges over twice and stitched them down to make a little lip. I then sewed right sides together with those two lips overlapping about three inches. Because of that extra lip I can take the case on and off of my throw pillows to wash them!

It was so simple and fun way to display some of our travels!
