Here’s a reminder of the inspiration for Amanda’s room.
I found this placemat at Target and knew it would make a perfect pillow for her room. The lighting is bad in this picture. The true color of the pillow is shown in the last 2 pictures of this post.
I love a project I can do in bed while watching TV (that makes me sound really lazy). Rip open a section of the seam. I always open a section of what will be the bottom of the pillow. On this one it doesn’t matter.
The opening just needs to be big enough to get your hand in.
Then start stuffing. I always make it extra full because it tends to flatten a little over time.
Once the pillow is as full as you want, sew closed by hand, following the seam that was ripped open.
Ta-Da! Now you have a very pretty embroidered pillow.
Here’s a close up of the detail. This picture is more true to the color of the pillow. And Amanda loves it!
