A FUN Sewing Project: A Quilted Pillow with a GIVEAWAY!

It's a snow day in Denver today; a perfect day to make something fun!

How about a pillow?

Pocket Full of Fun Pillow Workshop

Round patch pocket.

In January I completed a workshop for Craftsy* called "Pocket Full of Fun Pillow". It's a quilted pillow with a pocket to hold a toy, a book, or a special treasure. The pillow can be made for a child and makes a perfect gift, especially if you place something special in the pocket. Handmade gifts are the best! The pillow can be made for an adult as well and comes in handy when you need a pillow for support while you read a book, write in a journal, or watch T.V.

The Pocket Full of Fun Pillow is a great project for a beginner sewer or for someone who knows how to sew and wants to make a simple and quick project. The pillow construction is simple and straight-forward and the pocket is fun and unique. A bonus is that you'll also learn how to quilt the pillow front!


In the Pocket Full of Fun Pillow Workshop, I have included practical sewing tips and creative tips to help you along. Once you sign up for the workshop you have unlimited access to the instructions and you can ask me questions whenever you want. It's all set up so we can interact and I'm here to help you just in case you get stuck and need some help or guidance. You can also takes notes, add tips, and start a discussion right on your online workshop page.
