Poof Pillow

I have completed another Pinterest project, hooray! Well, technically I completed this project in October, but I made anther one tonight for a friend of The Mouse, who is turning one next month.

Introducing, the poof pillow:

This pillow is perfect for little baby booties, Mama and Daddy heads, and adding a little flair to the living room floor. The Mouse loves to sit and bounce on hers, and looks very proud of herself when she successfully backs her little booty onto it. It also makes a great resting place when she wants to lean, and I plan on making a few more for the playroom in the new house.

The first one I made was a breeze because of this fabulous tutorial (And because I waited until Mom was visiting since I had never used piping and was a bit afraid of it). It was super easy and made me want to use piping on everything I make!

This second one had a snag. Literally, there was a hole in the fabric that I didn't notice until I had already cut out the top.

So what's a crafter to do when an ugly hole threatens to send her back to the fabric store because the pattern calls for one yard and uses almost all of that yard? Well this crafter covered it with an appliqué of the recipient's name! A little more work, but it turned out cute, and now her little sis won't be able to commandeer it later on.

Now don't you just want to run out and make some of these for yourself?

Happy crafting!
