A Trio of Sardine Pillows

Now that I think my Sardine Pillow-making days are over, I thought I'd share all three of them together. You've already seen the first one, made last summer for my 7-year-old granddaughter. She still sleeps with it every night.

At her birthday party, her other grandma expressed a desire for her own sardine pillow, so she got one for her birthday too!

And, my now 15-year-old granddaughter wanted one as well, so she just got hers today when the family celebrated her birthday.

All three sardine pillows were the 36" size from the Sardine Pillow pattern by Kristin @woollypetals. Plus, they were each personalized to the recipients' design or color preferences, which made making each one a thoughtful and enjoyable process. Plus, I think the whole family got a kick out of them, whether they actually wanted/received one or not. Can't beat that!

  1. They seem to each have a personality all their own! I have the pattern, but haven't made one yet. Soon though!
