My niece is a horse lover {you may remember when I made her this shirt}. I’ve been at a complete loss about what to get her for Christmas and decided to go the homemade gift route. I made her a horse pillow for her room {which is why the horse is blue}.
I made the horse with a template I found online and Ink Effects fabric transfer ink {you can see more about Ink Effects in another post I wrote} …
… and sewed the patch onto another piece of fabric. I like shabby edges so I left the fabric edges raw. They’ll unravel a bit with some wear but not too much since I used a craft and bond type product under the patch.
I used blue polka dot fabric for the back of the pillow and sewed it envelope style so the cover can be taken off if needed.
I also added a pom pom trim {very Pottery Barn-ish, right?}.
I hope she’ll like it. At any rate, I can cross one more gift off the list.
I’ve started truncating my posts … please pop over to my blog to read the rest!
Love your pillow, Randi! My daughter is horse crazy too and her room is all horses. It’s a great gift idea for your niece. My mother is law is getting my daughter all horsey things for her room this year too. It’s easy for everyone!
You did a great job. I’m sure she will love it.
