Since I had a whole collection of raindrop pillows that I made for my guest post over at fortunecookiez.be, I couldn’t but sew a cloud pillow as well.
What do you need?
- Fleece fabric in 2 colours: white and grey
- Black and red embroidery thread, for the eyes and the mouth. For my first version I used flock film, but it doesn’t stick that well to fleece
- Pink felt: for the blushy cheeks
- Stuffing
- Drawing chalk
- A small bar of soap
How to make it
- Print the pattern, cut it out, and glue the parts together.
- Place the pattern on the right side of the white fleece, with the printed side facing you, and use your chalk to draw it on the fabric.
- Add 1 centimeter seam allowance, and cut the fabric.
- Flip your paper pattern, with the printed side facing downwards. Place it on the right side of the grey fleece and use your chalk to draw it on the fabric.
- Add 1 centimeter seam allowance, and cut the fabric.
- Pin both parts together, right sides facing each other.
- Sew both parts together, but leave an opening at the bottom, so you can stuff your cloud.
- Clip the seams, and pay extra attention to the small corners.
- Turn, so the right side is now on the outside.
- Stuff your cloud.
- Fold the seams of the opening inwards, and sew closed using an invisible seam.
- Do the faces:
- Use the soap (or use chalk) to draw the faces on the cloud, then embroider over it.
- Take the pink felt and cut out 2 pink circles, and sew them on your cloud.
