Last week was all about pillows. My niece turned 4 last week. My sister-in-law wanted to make a reading nook in the corner of her room. So she requested some floor pillows to make the space nice and cozy. I spent way more time deciding on fabric and thinking about what kind of pillows to make then I did actually sewing the pillows.
I knew that I wanted to make the floor cushion by Living with Punks, so it was the first one that I tackled.
I also knew that I wanted to make the dress up doll pillow from the new Wee Wonderful's book. This book is so cute. There are so many dolls that I want to make from this book.
I had so much fun putting this pillow together.
All the pieces go in the back pocket.
Then I made a couple of simple pillows.
This one is 16" x 16' and has a soft furry pink fabric on the back. I thought it would be good for cuddling.
This one is 24" x 24". This was my first time to cover a button too.
Here's the other side.
I do have a couple of projects that I need to be working on, but my main focus this week is going to be operation de-stash.
Happy Crafty Tuesday everyone.
