I have seen so many Christmas tutorials in the last few weeks and I’m dying to try all (or at least some!) of them. Finally last night I took a break from my Christmas present sewing to make this.

Easy Merry (Christmas) Pillow

I have been wanting to make one of these pillows since my daily email from Sew Can She showed up in my inbox with this tutorial from The Train to Crazy. I have been to her site a few times now and her tutorials and patterns look super cute.

This tutorial is easy to follow, though I am not sure how she managed to finish the pillow in half an hour! It took me about an hour at least, and that was without trying to stitch my way over the “merry” text. It must be the perfectionist in me!

I ended up using a fabric marker to trace the text, which turned out nice I think! Though I may have been happier if the wording was in red… hmmm… maybe next time.

I’d love to hear if you made one of these pillows! Put a link to your photos in the comments or email them to me and I can post them on this blog!
