When I saw Kristin @woollypetals post her Sardine Pillow pattern, I realllly wanted to make one. It was just so unique and fun. But what would I do with a sardine pillow??
Eventually, it dawned on me that there was one person in our family that just might enjoy a big (36"!) ole sardine pillow, and that would be our soon-to-be-seven-year-old granddaughter. So. of course. I made one for her birthday!
Let's just say, she was thrilled! She really liked that her favorite fruit was featured on her sardine. She kept it with her for the rest of the day, and fell asleep snuggling it that night. SO cute!
If you want to make your own, be sure and check out Kristin's video tutorial, as it guides you every step of the way. Meanwhile, though I was pretty sure our granddaughter would like her sardine, what I really didn't expect was that two other family members would chime in at the party and say they wanted one too! So it looks like there are more giant stuffed sardines in my future!
That is so cute!! And the strawberries, over the top. I will check out Kristin's video tutorial, thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable, thanks for the link. I might just make one too. My little guest barn is decorated in a cabin style and a stuffed fish would make a very cool accent pillow.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had the perfect recipient for a sardine. How fun!
ReplyDeleteYou had the perfect fabric for the project, and I can see why she kept it close, even through the night. So cute! I definitely think I need to make one or two of these, for no reason other than I just want to!
