Patchwork pillow

I never throw away any of my fabric scraps, even they are such small pieces.

Yesterday I used some small pieces of fabric scraps to sew a patchwork pillow case.The measurement of the case is 16 in. x 12 in.

I just cut out some 1.25 in. and 1.5 in. ( width) strips from scraps of different length, simply sewn them together to get this cute and sweet pillow case.

The fabric I used for the back of the pillow case is a nice cotton fabric given by my sister.

This colourful pillow will be given to my little niece. I hope she will like it . :D

Thanks for visiting. Have a nice day !

Small head-rest pillows

I made two small head- rest pillows for my hubby. He has the habit of taking a short nap right after lunch. According to him, the nap brings him some relaxation and rejuvenation. One of these pillows is for him to keep in his office , so that he can use it whenever he managed to spare time to nap during lunch hours. Another one is for him to keep inside his car. When there is a need for long distance travelling and he feels drowsy when driving, he could pull over to a rest area, drink a beverage and take a 20-minute nap. At this point, the small pillow will serve his need well . I sewed invisible zips as openings for both of the bone shape pillow cases , so that I can wash them occasionally. The measurement of the pillow case is 11 in. x 7 in. The fabric used is cotton with cute cartoon cars printed on it. My hubby is happy with what he gets !

A pillow for my car

I used one of my favourite light green cotton fabric and some scrap fabrics to make a pillow. I put this pillow inside my car. I just simply cut the motif flowers and leaves ,without drawing or sketching on the fabric first. In the end, the result is not satisfatory. The appliqued flowers do not look nice !
