Each of the kids has a blankie that he/she is attached to, that they can't live without....except Gideon. He likes his blankies, but it's his pillow that he loves. --which is nice, since i worked so hard on it. Well, it's been so well loved, that it's become lumpy and stinky, and now had a big irreparable hole:
So I finally broke down last friday, and bought some fabric at the store, to make a new pillow. I thought i'd make it similar to chloe's:
So i cut my pieced & started sewing them together on Saturday. The last time i used my sewing machine was to make those last pillows. It was really funny watching the kids. They all stood around watching this cool new machine. :)Anyway, Sunday, during the superbowl, I finished! :) Here's the final product:
It was a lot of work, but not as bad as I remembered. and Gideon's ecstatic, which makes it all worth it. :)

Those are adorable!
I am getting a sewing machine soon. I want it before summer so I can spend all summer learning how to use it, and not cleaning my house. :o)
Also, I had a special pillow my great grandma made for me with Holly Hobby on it. I loved that pillow! I still had it when I got married. D threw it away when he was cleaning one day. He thought it was trash! (That is how well it was loved :o)
tricia - congrats on your upcoming sewing machine! how FUN!
I can't believe he threw your pillow away! how sad!!
Now that's impressive!! I can't even sew on a button, much less sew a pillow.
hah! this was easier than sewing a button. :) all you have to do is stick the fabric in the machine & make sure it goes through straight. :)
But everyone should know how to sew a button! i'll have to show you next time we're together. :)
Great, when ya coming over? ;)
