Getting rid of your favorite sweater is hard to do, so instead of donating it to charity or throwing it in the garbage, do what we do:  fashion it into a snugly center-piece for your sofa!







If you want to make your own sweater-number pillow, you just go, girl!

Instructions on how to sew the pillow are in the magazine....
In the mean time,  if you would like the FREE PDF file on how to make those fun number-prints....  I have made an easy to follow tutorial called "Printing Numbers Onto Fabric at Home" that has simple step-by step directions with lots of pictures on five pages.  If you want one:  just download the free PDF file below.....
Enjoy!!!!   :)

I am ready for spring to start, and I thought that perhaps if I counted down to spring, it would come more quickly....
Kind of like when you count sheep, sleep comes more quickly....
Do you think it will work.....?????
I'm hoping....

Here it goes:
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9......
These wonderfully soft sweaters deserved a new lease on life…. So I took them
Washed them
Now they smell soooo good and are super-soft….

These pillows are looking forward to living in your home and spending many hours on the couch together, nibbling on yummy snacks, watching movies, and enjoying little naps…. And when you are too busy to sit down and relax, they will do their very best to sit quiet and look cute...


*size: 14 x 14 inches (37.5 x 37.5 cm)
*includes fluffy pillow insert
*zippered closure at the bottom
*Spot-clean only please, and you and her will enjoy many happy years together…!!!
