Old Sacks as Pillows

   Just a quick post today about re-using old things as new! One of my favourite things!
   These pillow cases are old sacks that I've purchased at antique and flea markets and washed (and washed again), and simply slid another pillow into.

I bought this particular pillow case because years ago my husband worked for an industrial vacuuming company, and they would do regular jobs vacuuming the huge tubes and tunnels at the cement plant in St. Mary's.

   In my living room I also had 6 other old sacks as pillows, but instead of putting a different pillow into it, I bought them stuffed with "pillow fluff" (stuffing), and sewn shut. They are a little more tricky to wash though....so, I would personally recommend just slipping a different pillow into the sack, and if you want it to close, just sew a zipper, or some cute buttons. 

   Well, we're heading home today, and I will be able to rest my head on my lovely pillows again! :)
