I've had the idea for this pillow for quite some time...I was just never quite sure how I wanted to get it done. This was my original inspiration:
(Sorry I don't have the source for this. I saved the picture a long time ago!...I'm pretty sure it was from Target.)
I decided to use some fabric I already had in my craft closet. The front of the pillow is a muslin texture and I cut out some leaf shapes out of my favorite vintage fabrics. I sewed them on the front and then used some left over material from this crib bedding for the backing. The pillow was assembled by placing my right sides of fabric together and sewing around three sides (side to top to other side...leaving the bottom open). I inserted my pillow form and sewed up the bottom by hand.
It was a fun throw pillow to make, while using up some materials I already had:)
