Giving credit where it is due, I attempted some origin research to find the original post about placemat pillows. The oldest existing post I found about placemat pillows was from Mad in Crafts, who cites Domestically Speaking as the source of inspiration. However, the placemat pillow post is no longer available on Domestically Speaking.

Using a gifted Boppy’s stuffing, and placemats that cost $6 for 4, it cost me $6 in new purchases to make this cushion for my daughter’s bed. Although I had purchased the placemats a year ago, my mom, nor I ever used them, so it was as if I had purchased them to be used as pillows.

Love the simplicity of this project (and nap time too!)
This is darling! The color coordinates with the bench and closet curtain too, another super-cute addition!
ReplyDelete:) This has been an easy month for me, so far. Love having a little break, but also getting to use stuffed animals in the photos has made it fun!

ReplyDeleteOh, Colette, you can do this! :)

And a video about ladder stitching.
I made a visible backstitch, like in this video.
Hope this helps! :)
