Adventures in Pocket PillowsHere

Did you know that small pillows make great stash busters for fabric? Now you do! To be fair, these were actually quite fun to make. I especially like how the pockets fit on the smaller pillows (note the purple pillows with butterfly pockets). 

Here is a snapshot of all the pillows I made.



 
 
 Here, we again have our panda fabric featured. I think I have about used up all the panda fabric, though it might make one more appearance later. As you can see below, these little pocket pillows are quite small. They are great for decorations, kids bedrooms, and even Tooth Fairy pillows. 



My son claimed the blue chevron pillow above. He thought it was the neatest thing and decided I had made it for him. I can't complain, though, it feels good to have my work appreciated.

The pillow below I made and sent to my brother and sister-in-law... yes, the same brother that works at Texas Tech and asked for the adult bibs. It's thematic... I like it.

 
My sister-in-law also really likes pugs, so I put together this pocket pillow (above) for her. 

Next up, I experimented with ruffles. There are definitely some things to figure out if I want to use ruffles regularly, but it turned out really cute either way.



Again, the solid fabrics worked well with the chevron fabric. The light blue was paired with this same chevron fabric for 2 of the adult bibs. The green fabric also worked out perfectly. 

John Deere anyone? I somehow managed to acquire 2 different John Deere fabrics in my stash.



I had a handful of small-ish purple fabrics that worked great for these pillows. Between the different shades of purple and the butterfly fabric, I had my choice of combinations.


The design for these might seem different or odd, but I think they are cute.  I have also gotten several compliments on them when I had them out for display. I especially like the "crooked" pocket... it is like an extra accent.

The final pillow (below) does not have a pocket. I found the floral fabric a little too nice to cover. Also, it reminds me of my husband's grandma. I think this pillow would have looked nice in her living room. She had such lovely taste in her decorations.


 I hope you enjoyed these pillows! See you next time!
 
Blessings and Peace!
