remember how happy when i've got a surprised christmas gift from an old pal?, the fabrics are so cute and i wanted to use them to make something for her 2 years old son, ethan :) but with so many celebrations and holidays fall in consequently, i only able to start on it now. but with each of the fabric measured 25cm x 53cm, it would be hard to make something big or anything at all! lol. actually, i was blank of what to make for a little boy. i don't think a little boy would like to carry a little purse around?... well, after some thought, a lengthy one! i came up with a pillow! sure every little tots would love to cuddle a pillow :]
i choosed these two piece and patching is sure a great way to use on smaller fabric. it looks good at first and then i felt a little unsure because i think it's too red for a boy?! then i searched my stacks and the only blue fabric i've got is this polka one. after adding them in, ha! it looks balanced! i'm so satisfied with it.
i added another layer of thin batting behind and it feels so 'comfy' even without the pillow ; ashley said! :)
it fits perfectly on ikea's IRMA . that's the pillow i'd used for the measurement. and that's my perfect dream pillow! i never found a pillow that fits and feels so right-so soothes to my neck! with my existing normal lousy pillow, i'll put my little magic IRMA on top and gosh! no more neck pain! i think it's so coincidentally added the perfect height that fits me and come in so cheap! :*
oh.. back to the pillow! this is how the back look like. it could be finish anytime soon only i can find my velcro tape! :/ashley said she wants one! great! i'm working on hers now! :)

It's gorgeous, Est!!
Children really love to have their own pillows. I've made a few as gifts and they've always loved them :-)
