I MUST learn to sew! Prices for pillows are ridiculous, and they can't be that hard to make.

No, Jooly, they aren't hard to make. They are just squares. I suck at sewing and even I can do squares. (Blankets, pillowcases, pillows, etc) If you have a sewing machine and can learn to thread it, that's basically the hardest part.

I'm with Jooly...I too need to learn how to sew. Guess its time to check out Craigslist for a cheap working sewing machine.
