Baby’s learning-to-sit pillow

I’ve already forgotten at what age baby’s learn how to sit, but what I do remember, is that they do so gradually. Gradually, because they can just sit there, and then the next second they tumble over. Hard. Gravity punches them right in the face.

In daycare, they had a solution for that: a special pillow. It looks a bit like a breastfeeding pillow, but more fun. So I decided to make one myself.

Finishing a project before I start a new one is not exactly my cup of tea. I try, I really do. Anyway, in short, I only finished the body of this pillow when our little guy already knew how to crawl. And I only finished the details when he was already able to walk. Trying to get him to sit still is our main issue now.

The original idea was that it would look like a caterpillar. But a ssssssnake seams to be the bigger favourite here.

In its tail, I added a sweet wrapper, so it rustles when you crumple it. I saw this at Hilde@Home.

The pattern part for the tail can also be used to sew a whale.

Moby Dick.

Or emo whale.

Or even a monster.

So, I finished it in the end. But maybe I should give myself a head start and start drawing up our little man’s driving licence cover…
